Book Overview
Disappointed with the life around her, teenager Jacqueline "Jax" Epoch, accidentally winds up falling through the Realmsend, a passageway into a different dimension.
Expecting a lush, fantasy world, she instead finds a barren plain, devoid of the magic she's dreamed of.
When she returns home she finds that everything that was magic in the other realm has leaked into her own, causing her reality to fall apart. Dragons fly over the streets of Manhattan marshmallows talk back, snow falls in July and her boyfriend dumps her.
Worst of all, Jax is put on trial for bringing about the end of the world with only a robot lawyer to defend her.

Great art & Great story!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
Comics are gaining recognition and respect, but for people new to reading them it takes a nudge to pick a book outside of the big name publishers. This is your nudge. "Jax Epoch and the Quicken Forbidden" is a fantastic story, at once both clever and absorbing. It's not pigeon-holed into "a book for girls" or "a book for boys" but is appealing to everyone. Though this is a complete story, the adventures of Jax don't end with the book; the comics are still coming out and they just get better and better!
finally, strong female characters in comics!

wonderful, entertaining and unpredictable. dave and john will keep you guessing and, ultimately, wanting more. this comic will appeal to anyone who likes adventure, robots, ice cream...or all three! jax is a great character who you will be rooting for as she travels between realms, experiments with magic, goes on trial for destroying the world, and eats cereal with extra sugar. fans of the comic "quicken forbidden" will also appreciate bonus material featured only in this paperback edition, including a new short story about jax's childhood.
