The Mighty Zodiac #1 (2016) opens a beautifully illustrated and richly imagined world of fantasy, destiny, and anthropomorphic adventure. Published by Oni Press, this debut issue introduces readers to a realm shaped by celestial forces and ancient prophecy, where twelve warriors—each representing a sign of the zodiac—are charged with defending the balance of life itself.

Created by J. Torres (known for his work on Teen Titans Go! and Alison Dare), this all-ages fantasy comic brings together storytelling depth and accessible characterisation. In this first issue, the death of the Blue Dragon—guardian of the Eastern Star—sets a dire chain of events in motion. With the heavens shifting and the six stars of the Zodiac scattered, enemies arise to exploit the celestial imbalance. Only the twelve chosen Zodiac warriors can restore order, but their unity is threatened by doubt, danger, and old wounds.

Corin Howell’s artwork perfectly complements the tone of the story, blending expressive character designs with lush, action-packed panels. Her style brings both charm and intensity, capturing emotional depth while also delivering dynamic movement and fluid battle scenes. With vibrant colouring and a unique Eastern-inspired aesthetic, The Mighty Zodiac stands out as a bold, original fantasy series for fans of series like Avatar: The Last Airbender or Redwall.

This first issue serves as both a compelling introduction to the larger mythos and a showcase for strong world-building and character-driven storytelling. Each of the Zodiac warriors is distinct in design and voice, offering readers plenty to explore and connect with as the series unfolds. It’s an ideal read for younger readers, families, and fans of heroic fantasy alike.
