From Goodreads:
Adapted
and illustrated from book by D.J. MacHale. "Merchant of Death" is
evil Traveler Mallos, who wants to destroy time-space universe
"Hallas", and rebuild with himself in charge. In Denduron
"Territory", he sells explosive clay-like "Tak" to peasant
Milagos enslaved by fat rich Bedoowans. Bobby Pendragon 14, writes manuscripts
for his friends Courtney and Mark back on Second Earth, transmitted by magic
ring. Travelers via wormhole "Flume", Uncle Press, warriors calm Osa
and her daughter fierce Loor, and puppyish knight Alder team up to save
Denduron and all Hallas from Mallos, the Merchant of Death, and
"Quigs" monsters, who both change appearances in different
Territories.
I think this story doesn’t translate all too well
from book to graphic novel. I didn’t really understand what the hell was going
on. It was very confusing with the flumes and different worlds. Why Bobby? Who’s
Press? What the fuck is going on? But I
did enjoy the artwork very much. I think I need to read the actual novel to get
my answers.
