The Guild: Zaboo

by Felicia Day/Sandeep Parikh and Becky Cloonan

The web comedy series The Guild has another single issue focusing on one of the members of their World of Warcraft team. This time Zaboo realizes that Cyd is in trouble in real life and must go to help her. Unfortunately, he's been trapped at home by his domineering mother his whole life. He has to escape the house and learn to travel the real world. Full of puzzles and adventures for the reader! Crazy and brilliant.

X-Men: Age of X SC

by Mike Carey and Leinil Francis Yu/others

Because the X-Men never existed, the mutants of the world have been hunted down and trapped in Fortress X, where every day they fight off the assaults of humanity through their psychic barrier. But then a conspiracy is discovered from within the Fortress itself, as mutant starts to turn on mutant. An amazing new X-Men story in the vein of Days of Future Past, with new takes on all of your favorite X-Men characters.

Witch Doctor: The Resuscitation

by Brandon Seifert and Lukas Ketner

If you haven't tried Witch Doctor yet, here's the perfect spot with a single issue adventure. Dr. Morrow is an occult physician who deals with possessions and the like with his two magical assistants. This time a man wakes up to find someone has stolen one of his kidneys and replaced it with someone else's! Ancient Egyptian magic and a new antagonist bring Dr. Morrow into one of his craziest cases yet. Plus great characterization and a new development!

Elseworlds 80 Page Giant

by Kyle Baker/Dixon and Baker/Lopresti/more

The ridiculous and the hilarious come together is these short "Elseworlds" stories from throughout the years. President Superman faces Scandalgate! Super-sons! The comic strip for Birds of Prey! The dangerous adventures of the babysitter of young Superman! A parody of Kingdom Come! And more! Plus most of these are drawn by some of comics alternative creators, providing a much more different look at your typical DC superheroes.

PR: Kal in Malibu Magazine


From: Kevin Kallaugher:

Friends and colleagues

As the year draws to a close I wanted to share some news that I hope you'd find of interest.

First I am currently profiled in this month's Malibu magazine. It is a short unique feature called 10 x 10 where they ask a guest 10 curious questions. My favorite: What tunes would be on the five-song playlist to your life? How would you answer that?

You can read the interview here:    http://www.malibumag.com/site/article/kal_cartoonist/

I just completed the cover for this week's edition of The Economist (see attached). This is somewhere between my 130th and 140th cover for the magazine in my 33 years with them.

I just completed the first of a series of short animations for The Economist that will be aired in the early months of 2012... I am very excited about these...stay tuned!

Speaking of 2012, The Economist 2012 Wall Calendar is doing very well. You can still order copies from me at my website...  shop.kaltoons.com/

Also in 2012... I hope to publish a collection of my cartoons from The Economist (my 6th book) mid year...

And I have some surprising news to share in the weeks ahead...

I would like to wish you best for a peaceful and prosperous 2012

Best

Kal
