About the series
In the mid-2000s, Viz Media brought the monster-collecting craze to comics with Legendz (2005–2006), a four-issue series based on the popular Japanese franchise. The story follows a young boy who discovers the secret world of Soul Dolls—living creatures born from ancient legends—and teams up with a fire-breathing dragon named Shiron to compete in high-stakes battles. This short but energetic run captures the era’s love for creature-collection adventures, blending mythology with action-packed tournament arcs. It’s a compact, fun read for fans of the original toys and anime.
