The Naiads of the Hydrosphere are enjoined in a cosmic battle against the Forces of Imperviousness.

In Milwaukee, the ethereal and benevolent Miranda opposes the insidious and omnipresent Asphalt Monster.

Do you have what it takes to grow in the mysterious art of the Water Ninja?

Miranda & the Asphalt Monster is a graphic novel universe that puts Milwaukee’s catalytic water work into a mythic perspective.

Peter Mao illustrated the first installment of Miranda & the Asphalt Monster, depicting a mythic battle between the naiads of the hydrosphere and the forces of imperviousness. Human choices tilt the balance in the epic contest.

We have printed a limited number of these amazing comics illustrated by Peter Mao as 8-page coloring books.
