A brand-new comic from the creators of Tiny Titans and Mini Marvels—Art Baltazar, Franco, and Chris Giarrusso—teamed up for the first time! Encounter is a new kind of hero; an alien escaped to Earth with pods that will eventually hatch to become his siblings, who can take any form he chooses, and decides to become a hero! With help from his talking dog, Barko, he fights crime on our planet. But there is a mysterious figure who will try anything to defeat him. In Volume 1, Encounter and Barko must defend the pods from villains such as Gadget Man, Cold Blaze the Thermodynamic Shark, and Ribbon Rhonda. No matter the odds, Encounter will always find a way to save the day!

A mysterious addition to Encounter and Barko's superhero team is leaving more questions than answers! Who is Champion? Why did he become a hero, and how does he know so much about Encounter? Is he just another villain sent by their arch nemesis? Barko's sure his and Encounter's team of two doesn't need a third, but when they fight villains Staremaster and Deconstructinator, Champion might just save the day. With the villain behind it all getting closer to the pods, Encounter must protect his friends and learn his arch nemesis' true identity. It'll be a blast from the past!
