But where there are heroes, there are bound to be villains! Filled with bravery and heroism, Hero Within is a tale that all ages can enjoy. And by combining two things kids like — comics and smart phone apps — this is a series sure to please.
Adventure Time: Marceline and The Scream Queens #1 – The girls from Adventure Time get their own spin-off mini-series! Princess Bubblegum, with a new-found interest in music, joins Marceline’s paranormal rock band for a tour across the land of Ooo. In order to make it to the raddest gig ever, they must overcome obstacles such as scenesters and beasts born of self-doubt. This title is meant for girls, as it is written, drawn, and features covers by prominent female artists, but boys should enjoy it too.
