[close] The Red Hornet’s origin story.

Ty Baxter, New Liberty City’s resident genius, inventor, and Olympian, should be happy; he was just made president of the family company. But this new promotion is more than he bargained for: misappropriated funds, a looming takeover from the power corporation, and a dead body. The more he digs into it the more he unravels his life and his family’s legacy.

Maybe it is like they say: the first generation earns the money, the second generation holds it, and the third generation loses it.

Will Ty uncover the villain behind it all?

Find out in From Prussia with Love. [close]

[close] Whap! Thud! Crash! SMASH: TRIAL BY FIRE is an action-packed graphic novel that simultaneously spoofs and pays tribute to superhero lore while inspiring a new generation of crimefighters.

Clobbered by fallout from a blast that kills the local superhero, Defender, Andrew Ryan suddenly has super strength and speed! And he can fly! Now it’s up to him to protect citizens from thieves, thugs, and fearsome villains. He dons a homemade costume to hide his true identity - and Smash is born!

But fighting crime isn’t easy, especially when you’re in fifth grade. On top of evil robots and trigger-happy bank robbers, there’s homework, curfew, and the school bully to deal with. Not to mention the Magus, a fearsome villain who will stop at nothing to steal Smash’s superpowers for himself!

Influenced by film, cartoons, and of course, classic comic books, this vivid escapade features a rib-tickling, high-energy storyline and the colorful, exaggerated figures of nostalgic comic-book art: a combo perfect for kids longing for a secret identity of their own. [close]
