"When mayhem erupts and a weapon of mass destruction falls into the wrong hands, Eowulf returns to save the day. In this second graphic offering following Eowulf: Of Monsters & Middle School (2024), New Jersey native Eowulf Wegmund (a descendant of Beowulf) is working at Vulcan’s Celestial Supply Shop. She receives an assignment from Vulcan, and not a moment too soon: She’d do just about anything to get out of cleaning her messy room. She’s tasked with guarding Balor’s Helm, a powerful helmet—and “one of the most destructive magical artifacts in history”— that’s being used as a prop on a movie set. At the Metropolitan Studios in Queens, she meets the monster stars Umo Klegginshredder and Vexla Verhoon. While on set, Eowulf learns that actors have been disappearing, including Umo’s dear friend Grogin Bransgoery—and when the helmet is stolen, Eowulf is on the case. Cavallaro’s sequel is bright and boisterous, blending vibrant, cinematic illustrations with engaging storytelling; it’s a great jumping-in point for new readers and a thrill for those already familiar with the first entry. Like its predecessor, this work features a strong emphasis on friendship and family, spotlighting the importance of human (and monster!) connection. Light-skinned, redheaded Eowulf is surrounded by a racially diverse supporting cast. The story draws from Irish, Finnish, and other world mythologies; fans of Rick Riordan’s expansive oeuvre will find much to enjoy here. Two thumbs up for this delightful movie-themed romp." - Kirkus starred review for EOWULF: THE CREATURE CONNECTION by Mike Cavallaro

Exciting update! Yesterday, we delivered a letter to the SVA administration informing them of our hope to establish a constructive dialogue, and urged that SVA not engage in any attempts to delay our right to a fair and timely vote on unionization in the future.

3 years ago, @ianrosenberg.bsky.social & I, with the good folks at @01firstsecond released FREE SPEECH HANDBOOK: A Practical Framework for Understanding Our Free Speech Protections, and it's as timely and useful as ever. I've heard from a reliable source that new softcover version is on the way.
Can anyone explain why it is that if you type in someone’s exact Bluesky profile address the search function says it can’t find them or that it doesn’t exist?
I just read Chapter 1 and your comic looks amazing! Looking forward to catching up on the rest, I see I’ve a long way to go! That’s a lot of work! Well done!
Coming your way this Free Comic Book Day, my FLASH GORDON tale in great company with stories by Art Baltazar & Franco, Marguerite Sauvage, and Bev Love, from the good folks at PaperCutz and King Features!
