Family Friendly Webcomic Series

Michael Adam Lengyel has developed a unique webcomic series, drawing on the classic themes of a child forming a bond with a creature from another world.

Nature flows from dark desires — a swirling trap ready to devour. Can the desire for change reverse the course?

The Mannamong

Legends spoke of the mannamong, ethereal beings created by Mother Nature to nurture humanity. However, these stories have faded from memory as mankind grew distant from their guidance. Yet, they continue to balance the mortal realm while the spiritual realm is shaken. A rogue mannamong escapes from his imprisonment and brings turmoil to a young girl named Kali. To save herself and restore order, she must unravel the secrets of his past.

What our readers say…

This story is great I even bought the physical book to read ahead. I am looking forward to when the next volume comes out.

Man, this comic addresses some deep issues. I love it. Like talking about the importance of people taking the hard way and learning for themselves. Going along and giving someone what they want isn't always good for them and sometimes it brings out the worst in them.

Another fantastic chapter the characters feel so real and so wonderful! Thank you!

I am so invested in this comic now, wow!

I wish I'd known about this series before.

Love this story and your art!

The colour. The art. The mannamong. Beautiful.

I'm loving the story so far and the art is so good!

If Mom and Dad are Potterheads along with little Billy and Suzy, then you are going to love The Mannamong. And though this book is geared for readers around 8-12, this is a series full of wonder and magic that can be enjoyed by adults as well!

Lengyel has done the improbable by crafting a story that’s geared toward a younger audience without making it unreadable for us old folks. His writing style is perfectly suited to the job, staying relatively straight forward and accessible, while slipping in sly moments of humor and just enough maturity to keep adult readers involved.

My son reads all the time and it's hard to keep up with him. But when this book came in the mail, I handed it to him and didn't hear from him till dinner. He's eight and was reading at the table (a no-no in our house) so I told him to put it away until after. That's when he informed me that was his second time through and he was desperate for the second book! he read it one more time during his reading time before bed and has continued to return to it between other books. The next day he brought it to school. I hope some of his friend's parents buy it. It's so worth it and I'll be keeping an eye out for book 2!

My husband and I backed this on Kickstarter and we do not regret the pledge. The artwork is cute, friendly, and extremely approachable which contrasts with the story's rather dark premise. Furthermore, while Kali is a strong and competent protagonist, her vulnerability and confusion by her situation are palpable to a degree not often found in children's literature. Her predicament leaves her understandably bewildered and grief-stricken by the consequences of a something she never asked to be part of, but her wits and attention to detail help her find some measure of control in the madness.

I bought this book for my kids and they loved it!! My 9 year old read it to my 5 year old in a couple of days. They inhaled this, it was a real treat for them. If your kids like Pokemon, Digimon, etc. they will enjoy this book.
