comics released in the past decade. This comprehensive yet compact

Ninety-nine Stormtroopers join the Empire, and then their troubles
begin. One takes a lunch break in the carbon freezing chamber. Two
underestimate a princess. One picks the wrong time to ask for a
promotion. Another fails to show Jabba the proper respect. And one
interrupts Lord Vader's private time, failing him for the last
time. A lifelong Star Wars fan, Greg Stones brings a playful wit
and sympathy for the plight of the troops as they meet their
amusing ends, filling each colorfully painted scenario with fun
Star Wars details and appearances by Han, Luke, Chewie, K-2SO, and
many other characters. As the trooper count ticks down, how will
the last one fare as he receives a very special assignment (on the
Death Star)? (c) and TM Lucasfilm Ltd. Used Under Authorization

Instant New York Times bestseller · Hilarious stories and advice about the ups and downs of growing up, from a popular YouTube artist and storyteller.
Like any shy teen turned young adult, YouTube star James Rallison ("The Odd 1s Out") is used to being on the outside looking in. He wasn't partying in high school or winning football games like his older brother. Instead, he posted comics on the Internet. Now, he's ready to share his hard-earned advice from his 21 years of life in the funny, relatable voice his fans love.
In this illustrated collection, Rallison tells his own stories of growing up as the "odd one out": in art class with his twin sister (she was more talented), in the middle school locker room, and up to one strange year of college (he dropped out). Each story is filled with the little lessons he picked up along the way, serious and otherwise, like:
* How to be cool (in seventh grade)
* Why it's OK to be second-best at something, and
* How to survive your first, confidence-killing job interviews
Filled with fan-favorite comics and never-before-seen material, this tongue-in-cheek take on some of the weirdest, funniest parts of life is perfect for both avid followers and new converts.
The Get Fuzzy team is back in action, and they're jumping in with
all feet. Our tough-as-nails crew has been assembled. Bucky Katt
has a plan to take out the ferrets next door, and it will require
all of his powers of disguise and stealth to get the job done.
Satchel Pooch is going on the offense and channeling his inner
assault-broccoli to defeat the vegetables before they defeat him.
And Rob, the unofficial peacekeeper, is left to clean up the
aftermath before the whole thing becomes an international incident.
Packed with intrigue, covert aggression, and domestic warfare,
Catabunga! is an all-out battle of wit and words that's not to be
missed.
WHAT IF... one man decided to answer all the unanswerable
questions, using science. The Sunday Times-bestselling author and
xkcd creator, Randall Munroe is here to provide the best answers
yet to the important questions you probably never thought to ask.
The millions of people around the world who read and loved What If?
still have questions, and those questions are getting stranger.
Planning to ride a fire pole from the moon back to Earth? The
hardest part is sticking the landing. Hoping to cool the atmosphere
by opening everyone's freezer doors at the same time? Maybe it's
time for a brief introduction to thermodynamics. Want to know what
would happen if you rode a helicopter blade, built a billion-storey
building, made a lava lamp out of lava, or jumped on a geyser as it
erupted? Okay, if you insist. Welcome (back) to the mind-blowing
world of What If? Unfazed by absurdity, Randall consults the latest
research on everything from swing-set physics to airplane-catapult
design to clearly and concisely answer his readers' questions. As
he consistently demonstrates, you can learn a lot from examining
how the world might work in very specific extreme circumstances.
Filled with bonkers science, boundless curiosity, and Randall's
signature stick-figure comics, What If? 2 is sure to be another
instant classic adored by inquisitive readers of all ages.
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR! At its heart, Pearls Before
Swine is the comic strip tale of two friends: an arrogant Rat who
thinks he knows it all and a slow-witted Pig who doesn't know any
better. Together, this pair offers caustic commentary on humanity's
quest for the unattainable. Dilbert cartoonist Scott Adams says
that Pearls is "one of the few comics that make me laugh out loud."
Two of the funniest books ever published on their respective
subjects - SAILING and GOLFING - are back. And better than ever.
Repackaged in the irresistibly chunky, compulsively readable small
square book format, each is a perfect gift for a new generation of
obsessives. GOLFING is even funnier than when it was originally
published. Now an avid golfer, Henry Beard brings the same passion
for improvement to writing about golf as he does to playing it, and
he's both added new definitions and rewritten many others. Like
whiff - "Familiar term widely misused to describe particularly fast
and powerful style of practice swing intentionally made directly
over the ball." A classic, SAILING is "...quite simply the funniest
book I have ever read" - William F. Buckley Jr. From ahoy - "The
first in a series of four-letter words commonly exchanged by
skippers as their boats approach each other" to zephyr - "A warm,
pleasant breeze named after the mythical Greed god of wishful
thinking, false hopes and unreliable forecasts" - it brings new
meaning to the things said at sea.

and Sacred Texts explores how comics and notions of the sacred
interweave new modes of seeing and understanding the sacral. Comics
and graphic narratives help readers see religion in the everyday
and in depictions of God, in transfigured, heroic selves as much as
in the lives of saints and the meters of holy languages. Coeditors
Assaf Gamzou and Ken Koltun-Fromm reveal the graphic character of
sacred narratives, imagining new vistas for both comics and
religious texts. In both visual and linguistic forms, graphic
narratives reveal representational strategies to encounter the
sacred in all its ambivalence. Through close readings and critical
inquiry, these essays contemplate the intersections between
religion and comics in ways that critically expand our ability to
think about religious landscapes, rhetorical practices, pictorial
representation, and the everyday experiences of the uncanny.
Organized into four sections-Seeing the Sacred in Comics;
Reimagining Sacred Texts through Comics; Transfigured Comic Selves,
Monsters, and the Body; and The Everyday Sacred in Comics-the
essays explore comics and graphic novels ranging from Craig
Thompson's Habibi and Marvel's X-Men and Captain America to graphic
adaptions of religious texts such as 1 Samuel and the Gospel of
Mark. Sacred Texts and Comics shows how claims to the sacred are
nourished and concealed in comic narratives. Covering many
religions, not only Christianity and Judaism, this rare volume
contests the profane/sacred divide and establishes the import of
comics and graphic narratives in disclosing the presence of the
sacred in everyday human experience.

A year's worth of marine-life amusement with the cast and crew of
Sherman's Lagoon. The sharks, turtles, and crabs of Sherman’s
Lagoon enjoy a complex society below the ocean’s surface, with a
local government, school system, and even their own radio station.
And like all advanced cultures, there’s no lack of drama. A
visiting shark oil salesman shows up to hock a strange new elixir,
and later, a consultant arrives to help the laconic locals hone
their killer instincts. When Kahuna feels his powers wane, Sherman
and Hawthorne help the ancient stone deity get his groove back. And
after Sherman and friends hop a flight to see a rocket launch at
the Kennedy Space Center, Hawthorne accidentally goes from
spectator to passenger. Once you dip into these Adventures in
Aquaculture, you’ll want to stay awhile.
