In an inexplicable worldwide event, forty-seven extraordinary children were spontaneously born to women who'd previously shown no signs of pregnancy.

Their first adventure at the age of ten pits them against an erratic and deadly Eiffel Tower, piloted by the fearsome zombie-robot Gustave Eiffel. Nearly a decade later, the team disbands, but when Hargreeves unexpectedly dies, these disgruntled siblings reunite just in time to save the world once again. • This volume collects the first six-issue series, as well as out-of-print short stories and an expanded sketchbook section featuring work by Gabriel Bá, James Jean, and Gerard Way. • "Flawless…stylish, imaginative."—Newsarama • Listed as one of the Top Ten Great Graphic Novels for Teens by the Young Adult Library Service Association (YALSA). • Amazon.com's #1 Graphic Novel of 2008! • A New York Times bestseller! |
