The Griff by Christopher Moore and Ian Corson with Jennyson Rosero

The Griffs are coming! The Griffs are coming! After a strange beacon is activated on Earth, alien ships soon show up overhead. After a short time, over 6 billion are dead as the result of an extremely hostile alien race known as the Griffs. After systematically destroying any resistance and crippling communications, the Griffs roam the Earth picking off survivors one by one. One group of survivors comprised of Mo, the goth, Steve, the clueless dork, and Curt, the military man, meet up with Liz, the whale trainer, and they band together in an attempt to save humanity.

Christopher Moore is back! Now with pictures. Christopher Moore and Ian Corson team up to deliver a graphic novel of unusual proportions. Christopher Moore doesn't fail to deliver his famous one-line wonders that are sure to have you laughing out loud. A short and wonderfully illustrated read (thanks to Jennyson Rosero), I finished this book in less than 24 hours. But just because it is short doesn't mean it should be overlooked. This book will keep your attention (it's a giant picture book after all) and is short enough to read all the way through in one sitting. NOTE: Book is intended for mature audiences and rated R for strong language and comic (literally) violence.

This book is not yet available to the public. Book will be released July 19th, 2011.
