Ruben Mahmoud, 11, just wants to rest. When you take your pet Corgi, Mr. Muffin, to the park, he’s exactly what he expects to get a break. But what he got instead was an alien invasion in the middle of his neighborhood! oh! And apparently Mr. Muffin is the chosen one destined to save the galaxy? This should be interesting. . .
Dragged into the middle of an epic space war, Ruben learns that the fate of the entire galaxy rests on the paws of Mr. Muffin’s adorable corgi. It will take much longer to end this war than by wagging our tails and toddling our butts. To turn the tide of the conflict, intergalactic soldier Cassara must teach Mr. Muffin how to harness the power of the universe and become the hero the galaxy needs. But Mr. Muffin’s powers are put to the test when he is separated from Reuben and a terrifying, giant mechanical corgi arrives to take over the world. Will Ruben be able to rise to the occasion to help his furry best friend? Do Cassara, Reuben, and Mr. Muffin have what it takes to end this war once and for all?
Ahead of its release, check out this exclusive look on the advance page below.
Khan said the page was the first time people saw the altercation between Ruben and Kassala.
One of my favorite parts of writing Mr. Muffins was watching these two grow from warring adversaries to trusted friends. I thought this fun and slightly silly chase sequence was a good way to start the action. Because from here on, the action gets bigger and bigger. And Mr. Muffin, who is kind, lovable, and clueless. If you’ve ever desperately wanted your pet to understand you, you can relate to Reuben on this last page.
“MR MUFFINS: DEFENDER OF THE STARS” is scheduled to be released on January 21st. If you don’t want to miss out, head to your local comic book shop now and pre-order before it’s too late.
