We all had `em. Those super fun virtual pets like NeoPets, Tamagotchis, GigaPets, and Digimon. Then one day we grew bored. We stopped feeding and caring for those creatures that only wanted our love. T.A.M.A. is an original graphic novel asking, "what would happen if, after years of neglect, your long forgotten virtual pet returned for revenge?" Struggling with his own loneliness, a grieving teen, KIT, discovers a defunct virtual pet system, finding the companionship he desperately seeks in TAMA. But when mysterious and gruesome tragedies begin to pile up around him, the boy wonders if his digital furry friend could somehow be the "virtual" common denominator. How far are both the kid and creature willing to go to seek attention, and how many will be hurt by this deadly beast that can somehow interact with the real world? T.A.M.A. mixes the nostalgia of virtual pets with the generational phenomenon of Pok�mon in this character-centred horror romp guaranteed to make you wanna kill `em all! T.A.M.A. Vol. 1 collects issues 1 through 6.
