Planeta Blu Volume 1: Rise of Agoo
A group of inner-city youths suddenly gain the ability to speak with animals, and they must use that and other new superpowers to fight to save the world!
After Lares, her brother Angel, and their friends Tomé and Tyler gain magical abilities, they stumble upon a looming war. The animal kingdom is ramping up to save the earth — "Planeta Blu" — by taking on the global climate crisis by fighting pollution at the source. One billionaire oil tycoon has sinister machinations at work, but the globe’s animals and the young team of humans will need to work together if they want to have any chance at saving our world!
Written by activist and rapper Tem Blessed and illustrated by Xeric award-winning artist Michael LaRiccia, Planeta Blu is a story of courage, compassion, love, and sacrifice to make our world a better home for all living beings.
