“Equal parts Pokémon and The Iron Giant, Ten-Ton Titan Terrier is a passion project that I’ve spent the last five years bringing to life, and I couldn’t be more excited to work with superstar artist Ornella Greco and Papercutz to make this book a reality,” said writer David Pepose. “This book was inspired by my own terrier, Holly, who packed ten tons of personality in her 11-inch tall frame. Filled to the brim with action, excitement, and heart, Ten-Ton Titan Terrier is perfect for dog lovers, kaiju fans, and giant robot enthusiasts of all ages.”
Illustrator Ornella Greco added, “One of the best projects I’ve worked on. Not only because the story and characters have been so much fun to work with, but also because there’s been great teamwork the entire time!”
What is Ten-Ton Titan Terrier about?
When an asteroid unleashes a horde of alien monsters known as Bio-Titans, Earth must turn to a suit of extraterrestrial battle armor to save the day — but there’s just one catch. Because the only creature on the planet capable of turning it on… is an 11-inch-tall terrier named Holly. With the Bio-Titan threat escalating by the second, Holly and her scientist owner Sam will find their unique bond tested as he trains his mischievous mutt to become not just man’s best friend but humanity’s only hope.
Acclaimed creator Steve Orlando (Scarlet Witch, Avengers Assemble) has already praised the book: “Brimming with true heart and creativity… Ten-Ton Titan Terrier is a wildly fun idea that pulled me in from the first page!”
The book is available for preorder now at bookstores, Barnes & Noble, Amazon, and other retailers. The official street date drop for Ten-Ton Titan Terrier is October 7, 2025.
