The Picks:

Fuzzy Baseball GN – Papercutz brings the boys of summer to comics with a furry twist. Longtime rivals the Fernwood Valley Fuzzies and the Rocky Ridge Red Claws come together at Fuzzy Field for the game everyone has been waiting for. The Fuzzies’ all-star players Jackie Rabbitson, Sandy Kofox, and Hammy Sosa will take on Red Claw favorites Gator Gibson, Stretch Giraffolo, and Fernado del Toro. It’s fated to be the greatest game ever played between the two teams. Sports titles are rare in the US comics market, so it’s great to see one that everyone can enjoy.

 Goofy Guide To Penguins HC – Toon Books gets goofy with the South Pole’s silliest birds. Have you ever wondered if penguins really play hide-and-seek, carry pink umbrellas, or shower on the back of whales? Did you know the best way to tell penguins apart is by the color of their mittens? No, not really, but twin brothers Jean-Luc and Phiippe Coudray would have you think so with this wild guide filled with less-than-true truths and not-so factual facts. Who says learning can’t be fun?
