Description
Fighting alien kaiju with your family on a Friday night is a totally normal part of being a teenager...right?
Well, it is for Maise who, despite her protests, continues the family legacy of keeping the world safe, all while trying to get good grades, impress her crush, and balance extracurriculars.
But growing up in this family means Maise must live up to the expectations of those she’s destined to protect while not losing herself in the process.
Matt Braly (Disney’s Amphibia) and Ainsworth Lin team up for the YA graphic novel of the year full of action and charm in FAMILY FORCE V!
