Pokémon has been a growing franchise phenomenon for more than two decades and there doesn't seem to be an end in sight. From games, anime, manga, and trading cards to the mobile sensation that is Pokémon Go, there's something for everyone.
One of the recent swings that Pokémon has taken in the recent years was at the big screen, and it wound up being a big hit. The film Pokémon: Detective Pikachu thrilled fans and critics alike while breathing new life into video game movie adaptation possibilities. Since then, other adaptations have taken chances such as Sonic the Hedgehog.
Now fans of the film can look forward to experiencing it in an entirely new way - in graphic novel form. Legendary Comics has released the official Pokémon: Detective Pikachu Graphic Novel Adaptation, which is a new expansion on the world and characters in the hit film.
“Brian’s writing and Nelson’s art have really captured a depth to the world in which Detective Pikachu and his fellow Pokémon live. We are so excited to expand upon this story, as well as the characters of Pokémon: Detective Pikachu.” - Robert Napton, Senior Vice President of Legendary Comics
