SIU (Comic book writer and artist), (author,, artist.).

Summary:

Twenty-Fifth Bam must journey skyward in a mysterious tower if he has any chance of reuniting with his best friend Rachel, even if that means facing his own death. Before mysteriously disappearing into the tower gates before his very eyes, Rachel cautions Bam to forget all about her. Unwilling to lose her, Bam enters the Tower completely surrounded by Shinsu -- a divine and magical water, at his own peril. The Tower itself contains multitudes of floors as vast as continents, each one with its unique geography, language and culture. Confronted by skillful tests each step of the way, Bam meets powerful guardians and otherworldly environments, making his quest to the top no easy feat. Beginning his journey, Bam is met by Headon, the first floor guardian and caretaker of the Tower who explains the rules of the Tower. At each level Bam is constantly tested for his strength, dexterity and wit. With help from fellow travelers and unlikely villains, Bam makes both allies and enemies in order to find Rachel; however her intentions of reconnecting with him become unclear as misinformation about her whereabouts do not add up. Behind each ascension is a revelation about their friendship, revealing a much deeper, darker secret.

Publishers Weekly Review

Tower of God Volume One : A WEBTOON Unscrolled Graphic Novel

Publishers Weekly
(c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved

A teen must battle his way through a mysterious, ever-changing tower to reunite with a loved one in S.I.U.'s dynamic graphic novel, originally a webcomic. Bam, portrayed with pale skin, short brown hair, and golden eyes, abruptly finds himself trapped inside the foreboding Tower while chasing after his best friend, Rachel. There, powerful contenders called Regulars compete against one another in a race to the top, where wealth, glory, and immortality purportedly wait. The Tower typically chooses the entrants, but Bam is a rare Irregular, able to enter on his own. If he hopes to see Rachel again, Bam--aided by a powerful magical sword gifted to him by enigmatic Lady Yuri--must use his wits and rely on the help of fellow travelers and villains to traverse the Tower's vast floors, which boast giant monsters and deadly rivals. S.I.U.'s fluidly lined art, rendered in a classic manga style, features subdued colors and predominantly black backgrounds, imparting a void-like immensity that complements the setting's expansive, fantastical inner workings. This creature-packed series opener finds its rhythm in energetic fight sequences peppered with humor that's by turns slapstick and fatalistic. Ages 13--up. (Nov.)
