Oscar Martin's Solo Vol. 2 cover

Warner Bros Lifetime Achievement Award winner, Oscar Martin - the renowned writer and artist behind Tom and Jerry comics - brings his own imaginative take on a dystopian world of anthropomorphic animals in this breath-taking sequel to the hit graphic novel, Solo: Survivors of Chaos.

Warner Bros Lifetime Achievement Award winner, Oscar Martin, creates a unique dystopian world of chaos, where every day is a fight to survive.

In a future ravaged by nuclear wars, the Earth has given birth to an array of new mutated species, which have grown and repopulated the land. But this new world is far from peaceful, and life in it is often short and brutal...

To make life easier for his poor family, Solo, a young rat, left his home to become a warrior. Contending with vicious animals and savage hunters, Solo does everything he can to survive. This action-packed, heart-breaking sequel sees Solo's world turned upside-down once again.

Praise for Oscar Martin's Solo Vol.1:

"The fantastic anatomy of bipedal animals is smooth and natural, and with fluent, energetic tiered panels of fighting action ... [Martin’s] mythos holds the promise of standing alongside Stan Sakai’s Usagi Yojimbo or Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird’s original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles." - Publisher's Weekly

“A beautifully drawn, gripping action-adventure, coming-of-age story” - Library Journal

“Martin has a gift for scripting action-packed panels, choreographing fight scenes that could be used as storyboards for any Hollywood blockbuster ... 10/10” - The Pullbox

“Turns blades into ballet and combat into a craft. I started reading late one night, intending only to make a start and I read it all the way through in one sitting” - Geek Native

“This graphic novel is for sure one that should be added to your comic book collection” - Pastrami Nation

“Creates a kinetic energy that flows throughout the book” - Comicon.com

“Achilles reborn as a rodent under the guise of Ridley Scott’s Gladiator” - Comic Lounge

“A cocktail of creative brilliance ... Oscar’s artwork is simply out of this world ... 5 out of 5” - Pop Cult HQ

"[S]ome of the best action I’ve ever seen in comics. You can clearly see the motions of each character and it makes for an engaging read. It makes sense given the writer’s background working with Tom & Jerry." - The 360 Mag
