Media has announced a deal with Cartoon Network Enterprises, the exclusive
licensing agent for Spin Master’s full portfolio of brands, to create original
graphic novels for Spin Master Ltd. and Marathon Media’s REDAKAI, the popular
animated series and innovative trading card game.
REDAKAI follows the adventures of Team Stax as they

primal power of the universe. In the hands of good, Kairu is a living force that guides the
universe. But in the hands of evil, Kairu is the most destructive power in the
world. Those who can harness it can eventually obtain the highest rank of Kairu
warrior, a Redakai. Set in exotic locales with amazing battles, monstrous
warriors, and super powers, the REDAKAI
animated television series has been a hit for young boys 6-12 since its debut
on Cartoon Network in July 2011.
VIZ Media will create and release original stories for REDAKAI in
full color. The first graphic novel will be available in October 2012, with the
second volume to debut in February 2013.
REDAKAI is a co-production from Spin Master Ltd. and Marathon Media,
A Zodiak Kids company, and the animated series currently airs Friday, Saturday
and Sunday mornings on Cartoon Network. Spin Master launched the trading card
game, featuring exclusive Blast3D™ technology, in Fall 2011. The line of action
figures and trading cards is currently available at all mass retailers, toy
specialty accounts and online.
