Welcome to Holsom

It’s simple, really: without stories and art that are fun, colorful and imaginative, kids won’t hang around long enough to learn anything. That’s the main reason Welcome to Holsom features a giant robot, for instance—comics are supposed to be cool, right?

Welcome to Holsom is a classic serial with plots that will weave through the entire 24-issue series. As readers become more familiar with the characters, they will also become more curious about the mysteries surrounding the little town of Holsom.

If teachable moments arise as a natural consequence of the characters’ personalities and situations, biblical values and concepts can be introduced without any “heavy-handedness.” Although wholly and unapologetically Christian, Welcome to Holsom strives to avoid any pretense of “preachiness” that might drive some young readers away.

The ultimate goal of Welcome to Holsom is discipleship. As the story and situations develop, there are many opportunities for “a-ha!” moments, pointing readers toward an understanding of biblical truths.

Because comics are all about ZOOM! ROAR! CRASH! and WHOA! They’re

about saving the universe. They’re about keeping the pages turning until the big cliffhanger ending—and then—WOW! It’s anyone’s guess how the hero’s going to get out of this one, but now you’ve got to wait a whole month before you find out.

When you were a kid, did you ever stay up past your bedtime reading—under the covers, flashlight on, totally captivated? This is the kind of attraction we’re talking about—talk about an exciting new way to disciple preteens!

Comics are about story-telling fun. Welcome to Holsom takes all the mesmerizing allure of comics and using its powers for good—no, for awesome! Just think of it, a comic as a discipleship tool almost guarantees it’s going to be read—not just once—but lots of times, creating unlimited opportunities for God to move in the lives of your kids.

Did we mention that already? About the life lessons? Because there are going to be lessons—lots of ‘em. Tune in next month to find out what kind of—nah, just go ahead and keep reading.



Welcome to Holsom is something you will want to experience. Read it with your kids and see what "teachable moments" present themselves. You'll be amazed how a comic book can open up a meaningful discussion between you. Hey, who knew discipleship could be this much fun?
