Max Ride: First Flight

In 2016, Marvel adapted James Patterson’s bestselling young-adult novel series into a single-issue comic, Max Ride: First Flight. Illustrated by Stephanie Hans, this one-shot introduces the winged teen hero Max and her flock of genetically engineered hybrids on the run from a sinister lab. It’s a compact, visually striking entry point for fans of the books and newcomers alike, capturing the high-stakes adventure of Patterson’s world in a single, self-contained story.
