PUBLISHER'S DESCRIPTION:

Her name is Luna, and she's the perfect secret agent. Grown in a lab from the finest genetic material, she has been trained since her birth fifteen years ago to be the U.S. government's ultimate espionage weapon. But now, she is given an assignment that will test her abilities to the max - high school!

Her mission: to pose as a high school student at Nobel High and uncover a sinister plot engineered by her arch nemesis, Count Von Brucken. But the one thing she has not been trained to handle is her own feelings. Especially when she starts making friends, rivals and crushing big time on bad boy Jonah, son of the evil Von Brucken himself!

AUTHORS' COMMENTS:

[Christina] Working on Luna is probably the most fun I've ever had as a writer. I mean, writing is work like anything else, but the lifestyle of a writer is difficult enough that if you can't find the fun, it often doesn't seem worth it. Some projects come easier than others. Luna is one of them. From the very first moment we conceived of the teenage spy who didn't know what it was like to be a teenager, the ideas have come fast and furious. Each volume our biggest problem is that we only have 150 pages. We start a scene and realize that we could let the characters riff for pages upon pages and we have to stop ourselves before we end up with a whole volume that's about nothing more than Luna and Oliver hanging out one afternoon.

[Nunzio] Developing Luna was an interesting thing. We were going to pitch a manga to Seven Seas in order to be part of the company's launch, and we had a story about a girl's school for witches that was developed originally with Marvel in mind. Marvel had passed on it, so we took it to Jason DeAngelis (and his then business partner Dallas Middaugh) and they liked it, and got Shiei to do sketches of the witch girls. But we wanted to do right by Marvel, and gave our editor there (who had told us we could shop the idea elsewhere) the heads up. He then told us Marvel had renewed interest in the idea. So we had to scrap the magic school plans and pitch something entirely new for Seven Seas. We came up with the basic premise for Luna, told the guys, and we were off to the races. The funny part is, Marvel passed on the magic school idea a second time. But in the end, I'm much happier with Luna than I would have been with that.
