An action-packed, teenage-angst-driven thrill ride that does not disappoint.

Where Convergence began the tale of Steven Lee and the Zodiac, The Zodiac Legacy: The Dragon's Return throws the young adult fantasy/action series into full gear. Creative mind Stan Lee, writer Stuart Moore, and artist Andie Tong once again combine their skills and produce a spell-bounding, globetrotting story that picks up exactly where the last volume left off.
Steven, Jasmine, and the rest of the young Zodiac team have begun to learn how to use their powers and use them for the good of mankind. But Steven starts to see glimpses of past Zodiac teams, and their demise and total annihilation frighten Steven, wondering if he and his team will fall to the same fate. While they scour the world for causes and people to fight for, the team begins to crumble as former foes join more than one of Steven's friends contemplate leaving, unsure if they can live their lives like this forever. As one leader becomes trapped in her powers, Steven is propelled into the leadership role, but is he ready for it? Can he keep his team together?
While the team is in turmoil, a powerless—though still bloodthirsty—Maxwell has plans in the works to restore his power that the group stole from him, and enough surprises to keep the reader guessing. Bringing his small army of ruthless, Zodiac-powered mercenaries together, will the Zodiacs be able to battle what Maxwell has planned for them? And will a heart-wrenching betrayal bring about the end of the team? And if they don't have any powers, what's keeping them together?
Another action-packed, teenage-angst-driven thrill ride, the trifecta of Lee, Moore, and Tong do not disappoint with the second installment of the Disney series. The writing is thoughtful, well-constructed and allows itself to be understood and enjoyed by youth and adults alike. And the design and artful illustrations of the characters and epic battles helps the reader to latch onto them, drawing the reader in further than most books are capable of.
