Trilobite's road to fame keeps getting louder, weirder, and much harder to control.
In the second Mighty Bite graphic novel, the crew is back chasing viral success in a world packed with prehistoric creatures, big personalities, and total chaos. Trilobite stages a comedy opera prank, Amber gets swept into the wild scene of walrus fighting, and Tiffany's old life as a competitive video game player comes roaring back at the worst possible time.
Walrus Brawl at the Mall is built for readers who like silly comics with fast jokes, strange animals, and characters who make every problem messier before they make it better. With mall mayhem, video-game trouble, and a fame-hungry cast, this graphic novel keeps the energy high from the first gag to the next disaster.

It is a great match for readers who like funny comics, animal chaos, and stories where friendship survives through disasters that nobody planned very well. Beneath the gags and internet fame schemes, Nathan Hale builds a world that is weird, fast, and full of surprises.

A documentary about a giant Ice Age pig sounds like a perfect path to fame until the pig starts flying.
In Hog-Rocket Ruckus, Trilobite and the Mighty Bite crew chase their next big viral hit by filming the Entelodont, a prehistoric super pig with a reputation for danger. The plan is bold, ridiculous, and almost immediately out of control. Instead of making an amazing video, the friends accidentally create the Hog-Rocket, a destructive flying creature that turns their money-making scheme into a full-speed disaster.
This funny graphic novel is made for readers who enjoy animal mayhem, wild inventions, and comics that move fast from one bad idea to the next. Nathan Hale mixes prehistoric weirdness, slapstick action, and friendship under pressure in a noisy, chaotic adventure.
