The Amazing Screw-On Head and Other Curious Objects HC
Dark Horse Comics
(W) Mike Mignola
(A) Mike Mignola
Written and illustrated by Hellboy creator Mike Mignola, Dark Horse Comics’ The Amazing Screw-On Head and Other Curious Objects HC collects the hilarious – and Eisner Award-winning – one-shot, plus Mignola’s “The Magician and the Snake” and loads of all-new weird, wild and wonderful material.
To save Earth from the machinations of Emperor Zombie, President Abraham Lincoln calls on Screw-On Head (a mechanical head) and his oddball associates, Mr. Groin and Mr. Dog. Filled with Victorian flying machines, tombs to be robbed, and weird alien menaces to be thwarted, it’s pure mayhem – and pure Mignola!
The Amazing Screw-On Head inspired a cult-favorite, animated short film starring the voices of Paul Giamatti, David Hyde Pierce and Patton Oswalt, giving this new edition an already established audience potentially unaware of the source material. Plus, longtime fans of Screw-On Head and its creator won’t want to miss the nearly 50 pages of new Mignola material, available only in this volume.

BOYS HIGHLAND LADDIE #1 (OF 6) (MR)
DYNAMIC FORCES
(W) Garth Ennis
(A) John McCrea
(C) Darick Robertson
Everyone’s favorite pint-sized Scotsman gets his own origin story, with art by Herogasm artist John McCrea. Mind reeling from recent events in The Boys, Wee Hughie heads home to Auchterladle, the semi-idyllic Scottish seaside town where he grew up. All Hughie wants is some time to himself, to return to the bosom of family and friends, to get his head together after two years of unimaginable, unremitting, and egregious chaos. But our hero’s luck has always been more cloud than silver lining, and the familiar surroundings he craves are not all they might be. You can go home again — but with old pals warped beyond recognition and strangers in town up to no good, whether or not you should is another matter entirely…

My exposure to racing board games is limited but I know there are many fine examples. I have never heard Powerboats mentioned in lists of excellent racing games because of its simplicity but it is the simplicity my family really enjoyed.
Here is a quick overview of the game. Each player races a powerboat on a lake, navigating around three buoys in the correct order and direction and then crossing the finish line. Three-sided dice control speed. At the beginning of each turn, you can decide if you want to add or remove one dice. You also decide if you want to roll re-roll any dice. The combined total of the dice is your speed for that turn. You then move your boat that number of spaces, but before you move, you have the option of turning your boat one hex-side (or 60 degrees).
