The Picks:

Best Of Sonic The Hedgehog Volume 1 TP – Archie Comics continues the celebration of Sonic the Hedgehog’s 20th anniversary in comics. With nearly twenty years of stories to look back on, the Archie Comics Sonic Team picks their favorite stories from the history of the series for this new “Best of” title. Included in this collection are the stories “Mecha madness” chosen by writer Ian Flynn, the finale to “Endgame” chosen by artist Patrick Spaziante, “Order from Chaos” chosen by Tracy Yardley, and “Future Tense” chosen by artist Jamal Peppers. This title is a great insight into the creators of a beloved series that fans will love, while newcomers can see some of the best of the best.

Annoying Orange Volume 1 Secret Agent Orange HC – Papercutz jumps on the fruity bandwagon with a new series of graphic novels based on the smash-hit YouTube and Cartoon Network series Annoying Orange! Orange, the most annoying fruit on the kitchen counter, drags his friends and fellow fruits into the most insane series of adventures. In this volume, Secret Agents 00-Orange and Oh-Oh Nerville must stop the evil mastermind Grapefinger from stealing the color purple! Only Orange can annoy the villain into submission! The graphic novels follow the premise of the TV show, and emphasizes the silly humor over the more crude style the TV and internet shows favored. Tweens and teens will enjoy this series the most.

Adventure Time With Fionna And Cake #1 – Boom Studios releases another Adventure Time mini-series featuring the whole gender flipped cast! Fionna the Human and Cake the Cat embark on an all-new adventure when Fionna rescues a feral flame boy from a pack of wild fire lions. It is just the beginning of a quest Fionna will never forget. Starting off as a one-off episode of the TV series, the characters Fionna and Cake have become fan favorites, with fans cosplaying as them and calling for more episodes featuring them as well as villain Ice Queen and love interest Prince Gumball. It’s only natural that they would get a comic, and that fans will be clamoring for this issue!
