The BIONICLE Glatorian series begins in this graphic novel, exploring the world of Bara Magna, previously seen in BIONICLE Graphic Novel #8 'Legends of Bara Magna' . In this harsh world that contains both deserts and snowy, mountain-like terrain, Glatorian matches much like the gladiator matches of ancient Rome are used to decide conflicts between rival tribes or enemies. The world is overrun by the dangerous Skrall, who decimate everything in their path. A world with rules and enemies unlike any of the planets seen in previous BIONICLE graphic novels, 'The Fall of Atero' presents a new setting with an all-new dynamic already a hit with fans.
