The New Yorker Senior Editor David Remnick and Cartoon Editor Emma Allen contributed an insightful foreword.

Combining a wealth of information with an engaging and charming narrative, plus more than seventy cartoons, along with photographs and self-portraits of the cartoonists, Very Funny Ladies beautifully portrays the art and contributions of the brilliant female cartoonists in America's greatest magazine.

Steve Agee, Jennifer Holland, Chukwudi Iwuji, Danielle Brooks, John Cena appear in a scene from Peacemaker.

HBO Max

The HBO Max series Peacemaker stars John Cena as a shiny-helmeted super soldier who loves peace so much he's willing, even eager, to slaughter folks to get it. It's a direct spinoff of the 2021 film The Suicide Squad, and the series shares a lot of that movie's comedic DNA. And it, too, was written and directed by James Gunn.

Growing up as outcasts in the small desert town of Juniper, California, best friends Salahudin and Noor understand each other the way no one else does. That was until six months ago when The Fight destroyed their bond instantaneously. Now, Sal scrambles to run the family motel as his mother Misbah's health fails and his grieving father loses himself to alcoholism. Noor, meanwhile, walks a harrowing tightrope: working at her wrathful uncle's liquor store while hiding the fact that she's applying to college so she can escape him—and Juniper—forever. When Sal's attempts to save the motel spiral out of control, he and Noor must ask themselves what friendship is worth—and what it takes to defeat the monsters in their pasts and the ones in their midst. From bestselling author Sabaa Tahir comes a breathtaking novel of young love, old regrets, and forgiveness—one that's both tragic and poignant in its tender ferocity.

Ages 14 and up

Sabaa Tahir is the bestselling author of the Ember in the Ashes fantasy series. She grew up in California's Mojave Desert at her family's eighteen-room motel. There, she spent her time devouring fantasy novels, raiding her brother's comic book stash, and playing guitar badly. She began writing books while working nights as a newspaper editor.

Refund requests may be made up to one day before the event begins.
