It’s true—there are some things that zombies just can’t stand. With that in mind, you should take care to remember the lessons that the 56 watercolor illustrations in this book teach. Challenging a zombie to a game of dodgeball just might save your life one day.

What if Darth Vader actually took an active role in his son’s life instead of just being evil? Darth Vader and Son by Jeffrey Brown features illustrations showing just what life would be like. Vader would get to do all the normal things dads do like shop for toys, play ball, eat ice cream. I bet the book will be adorable; you’ll be able to take it home on May 4th.

What if children’s books were mashed together with popular video games? They’d probably look something like these covers illustrated by Artist H. Caldwell Tanner.

Chances are, you recently saw a video of a man who appeared to fly using a contraption that allowed to him to flap his wings like a bird. That video turned out to be a hoax, but there are definitely some real flying machines out there that are just as crazy.
WonderCon spent its first year in Anaheim last weekend, and even though I don’t like the city as much as San Francisco (its regular home), the convention still ranks among my favorites. WonderCon is run by the same company that puts together Comic-Con, and in many ways it’s like that show’s younger sibling. It’s smaller, more mellow, and there is less of a studio presence. There were some celebrities, but media guests weren’t the big draw. Comics were everywhere, and plenty of creators were in attendance as well. Frankly, WonderCon has everything I want in a convention.

Welcome to the 74th Hunger Games.
Who else is ready to see the games on screen in just over a week? The Hunger Games trilogy captured my heart from the first few chapters, and I’m not alone. The series about a futuristic, dystopian society where the government pits its children against each other in a brutal battle to the death grabbed millions of readers. The heroine of the story, Katniss Everdeen, wormed her way inside our heads. The story begs to be examined, and The Girl Who Was on Fire: Hunger Games Anthology provides pages and pages of just that treatment.
