The Singular Six (The Chronicles of Eridia) J. S. Volpe

In the wake of a mysterious event that cataclysmically merged all realities into one, six remarkable individuals from vastly different worlds must team together to hunt down and vanquish a horde of bandits called the Marauders.

The sextet consists of Adam Frankenstein, formerly known as Frankenstein's Monster, whose fearsome exterior belies the intelligent and sensitive soul within; Maggie Frankenstein, Dr. Frankenstein's courageous and beautiful niece; Granite, a costumed superhero with the power to turn to stone; Freud, a robot that performs psychoanalysis; Dagmar, a tweenage queen; and Kukalukl, a snarky Incan jaguar god. Each of them has their own reasons for hunting the Marauders. Only together do they have any hope of succeeding.

Their journey takes them across a bizarre patchwork landscape and pits them against strange and terrible foes--from an abandoned research lab overrun by a peculiar variety of zombie, to a seemingly idyllic woodland inhabited by carnivorous stuffed animals; from the mazy lair of a huge, hateful serpentine beast, to the Marauders' blood-soaked battle arena where the sextet must fight for their lives.
