Doom & Gloom - by Darin Henry (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

Two cunning cats named Doom and Gloom set out to run their own evil empire, but an animal-whispering niece has other plans. A spooky, silly, and laugh-out-loud novel for young comic readers.

Doom and Gloom are the purr-fect partners in crime.

At least, they were, until Doom maybe-possibly-perhaps caused their boss Ivan Wicked's unfortunate mid-heist mishap.

Suddenly without a master, the two scheming cats set out to claw their way to the top of the villain food chain.

But their plans hit a snag when Ivan's overly cheerful niece Petunia decides to adopt them, no matter how many times they hiss, scratch, or flee. Determined to prove their wicked worth, the pair's search for a suitably sinister overlord pits them against a beauty queen crocodile, a sewer-dwelling toddler, and a rogue therapy dog with mind-control ambitions . . . until Petunia lands in the middle of the mayhem, forcing them to choose between saving the day or their street cred.

With full-color art, snappy humor, and a deliciously mischievous tone, Doom & Gloom: The Worst Is Yet to Come launches a new graphic novel series that's equal parts spooky, silly, and irresistible. Themes include learning to stick up for what you believe in and having fun!

Perfect for fans of Bunnicula, Detective Beans, and The Evil Secret Society of Cats!
