Graphic novel.

Avalon City is a sprawling metropolis with all the problems of a big city: pollution, crime, corruption, and support systems stretched to their limits. Into this mess steps Julianna Embry, a person with an incredible gift who is dedicated to bringing peace to Avalon City. Pax, as she is called, joins ACSO, the mayor's special operations team. It is a group of four highly trained and diverse officers who address extreme crises that the city's fire and police systems cannot handle. With Pax's help they face off against a mysterious adversary who also has designs on Avalon City—resulting in a clash of ideals that will change the city forever.

Graphic novels are an expression of the struggle to bring peace and order to our lives. The world of Pax Avalon embodies this struggle, with the added element of hope that there actually is a way that leads to peace. Six different perspectives clash head on with the people of Avalon City as the prize.

A 24" x 36" poster is also available for $7.99.

"As a youth pastor I am impressed by the quality of this work, which will appeal to Christian kids, but can also be used to reach young people outside of the traditional church setting. Pax Avalon is creative, well drawn, and well written. The "extras" at the end of the graphic novel lend themselves to great discussion. The "think it through" questions truly help the reader think through the storyline. Who doesn't like those character updates that sometimes come at the end of feature films? "Pax in Progress" allows the reader to get to know both the author and characters just a little bit better. I loved the transparency of the author as he shares about his work. Steven Friesen also does a great job incorporating the true diversity of life into the characters. The inclusion of racial ethnic characters and a physically disabled character is done in a very natural and unobtrusive way. I can't wait to see what happens next in this series. I think MPN may have found a hit. Kudos to you for thinking outside of the box. What a great new medium through which to share the gospel message."<\p> --Guy Guyton<\b>
