Summary

Mona and Joey can't stop fighting! They bicker about everything, expecially about who loves their favorite superhero, the Mighty Mojo, more. When the Mighty Mojo decides to pass his costume on to them, these argumentative twins fight so much that they rip it in half. Now each twin is only half as strong! Can Mona and Joey look past their differences and combine their powers? Or will they let the evil Saw-Jaw beat them and ruin their hometown's big parade? Two talented cartoonists, Jay Lynch and Dean Haspiel, combine their own artistic powers to craft a superheroic romp full of twists and turns that are bound to keep early readers asking for more.

Author Biography

Dean Haspiel, who drew Mo and Jo, used to read Fantastic Four and Shazam! when he was a kid. He admits that he used to fight with his brother all the time, too: “All siblings have a healthy rivalry, and so did we.” Dean has illustrated Pulitzer Prize-winning author Michael Chabon’s The Escapist and drawn superheroes for Marvel and DC Comics. He has created his own comic character, Billy Dogma, and is the founder of the webcomic collective ACT-I-VATE. If he could have any superpower, he’d like to fly, “because that would just be cool!”

Jay Lynch, who wrote Mo and Jo’s story, loved to read funny superhero comics like Plastic Man when he was a kid. When he wasn’t reading comic books, he would draw his own cartoon characters on the sidewalk in front of his house—then hide in the bushes to hear what other kids had to say about his drawings! Jay grew up to become a legendary cartoonist and has helped create many popular humor products, including Wacky Packages and Garbage Pail Kids. If he could have any superpower, he’d like to know what color something is just by touching it.
