With the Presidential election over, and Obama now the upcoming leader of America, now is a great time to grab these comic publications. Presidential Material, a set of biographies of the two primary candidates in the 2008 presidential election, is wonderfully accurate and, while not entirely nonpartisan, far less biased than anybody would expect. This might come as a surprise, since these biographies come in comic book form.

Each biography begins at a pivotal point in its candidate’s life and then pulls back to tell his entire story, beginning with that of his parents and then proceeding to his own. Senator John McCain’s biography begins by depicting him as a prisoner of war; Senator Barack Obama’s biography first finds him on Super Tuesday, waiting for the results of the day’s primaries. Each comic book thoroughly chronicles both its subject’s career in politics and his personal life.

What if you woke up one day to find, in an instant, all adults vanished before your very eyes? No more teachers, parents, doctors, and no rescue. How does a kid survive in a new world of chaos, where they are cut off from all communication? No phones, no internet, and no television. There is no where to turn for help or to figure out what is happening.

Friends you have known your whole life have secrets that can't be possible. Even animals are starting to change and become more deadly.

In this world gone mad, the strong survive, the weak endure, the powerful rule and bullies dominate. There is a war coming ... which side will you be on?

For all those kids in high school who ever drew outrageous drawings on their school, this is the book for you.  It would hardly surprise that Ben Templesmith was one of those chronic imaginative doodlers. Templesmith exports moments from his sketchbook for his horrific new comic series Wormwood in which inmates from an insane asylum never return.

His drawings are detailed, sketchy drawings, and colorful and painterly background washes. Mutated creatures, emaciated zombies, visions of hell, alien fetuses and tough grungy young gun-toting women dot page after page. The drawings are wild without being over-the-top exploitive or clichéd, though he makes no bones that he's more than comfortable drawing tentacles on things.
