Unfortunately, the bear's inevitable capture upsets a millenia-old kaiju grizzly named Queen Kodiak, who will destroy everything in her path to collect her cub.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFollowing in the massive footsteps of legends like Godzilla and King Kong, comes QUEEN KODIAK, a colossal, super-charged Kodiak grizzly bear... one who survived from the ice-age and who's been irreversibly enhanced by a mysterious geo-thermal energy pulsing in the unknown depths of an Alaskan ice cave. And although QUEEN KODIAK's been asleep for thousands of years, melting ice and subsequent tectonic activity has disturbed her hibernation. And in her debut graphic novel, she wakes up to find her only cub missing. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e But as much as we want to meet her and watch her wreck shop on the pacific northwest (sorry Seattle), our story actually centers on JOEY FOX, an embattled 17-year-old girl, and natural empath, who befriends Queen Kodiak's cub after a tectonic shift in her own life -- the recent passing of her mother. As a result, Joey's been sent to Alaska's Kodiak island to live with the man who left them ten years ago, her state trooper father. In many ways it's a story about how families survive overwhelming odds.","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50567981170911,"sku":"9781545821015","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/xNK7hmrpNG9781545821015.webp?v=1784001514"}],"url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/collections\/christopher-greenslate.oembed","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
