BEN 10 EVENT ARRIVAL

The opening arc of the new Ben 10 series, collected for the first time in hardcover. When a mysterious meteor strikes Earth, ten-year-old Ben Tennyson discovers the Omnitrix — an alien gauntlet of extraordinary power that lets him transform into a roster of alien forms, each with its own abilities and limits. The question is less what he can do with it than whether a child can shoulder what it demands. Joe Casey and Steven T. Seagle retell the origin with art by Robert Carey, in what stands as the definitive modern take on the character.
