The Picks:

Mad Balls 1 Mad Balls #1 – Lion Forge’s all ages imprint Roar brings back a most maddening toy from the ‘80s. Mad Ball teams the Screamin’ Meemies and the Horn Heads are going head to head for a chance to play in the Intergalactic Bizarro Bowl, when headless Torsoids sabotage the game. The squabbling Madballs, including Screamin’ Meemie, Brain Bash and Skullface, must team up in order to take ‘em down. Madballs will appeal to kids who are into gross-out humor and bad puns, as well as parents nostalgic for their own childhood.

Puss in Boots 1Puss In Boots #1 – Titan Comics brings back the scene stealing feline from Shrek 2. Puss in Boots, the sometimes outlaw, sometimes hero, and all-the-time purr-amour is back. He’s short on money, and with a long milk tab to pay, he answers an advert that lands him on a pea-green boat going out to sea with a cranky old owl. But when flying fur balls and derring-do abound, don’t expect this fairy tale to end like you think. Puss in Boots was one of the best characters to come out of the Shrek franchise, so it’s great to see him get his own series.
