Wonder Woman, Rick and Morty, Ghostbusters and The Nightmare Before Christmas
The Amazon Princess: Wonder Woman, has gained in popularity over the last decade mainly for two reasons: women are finally getting the credit they deserve and are proving themselves to just as capable as men and the recent Wonder Woman movie catapulted Wonder Woman into the spotlight.
The movie was so successful it has spawned a sequel that will be in theaters next year.
Wonder Woman was created as a symbol of power and as a role model for young girls when she was first introduced in the 1940s.
She has survived over the decades through the ups and downs of the comic book industry and has proven to be just as big an icon as her DC Comics cousins: Batman and Superman.
Running Press and author Steve Korte present Wonder Woman Chronicles Of The Amazon Princess.
The square-bound slipcase contains four small hardbound books that delve into the history, mythology and character of Wonder Woman.
Amazing Amazon The Legend Of Wonder Woman explores the persona of Wonder Woman, her secret identity, family, allies, enemies and more.
Paradise Island Home Of The Amazons explores the birthplace and residence of Wonder Woman and her sisters: the Amazons.
Powerful Princess Amazonian Powers and Tools examines the Amazon Princess's strength, speed, fighting skills and other amazing powers and abilities. Her lasso, tiara, bracelets and invisible plane are also examined.
Gods and Mortals The Enemies Of Wonder Woman presents a gallery of Wonder Woman’s greatest foes.
All four mini-books are filled with color illustrations, cover reproductions and much more.
Several months back I was over at my daughter’s house and her boyfriend was watching Rick and Morty on TV.
At first glance it reminded me of some of the adventure cartoons I watched as a kid such as Johnny Quest, The Herculoids, Space Ghost and the like.
After a few more minutes of viewing I soon discovered I couldn’t have been more mistaken.
While the cartoon was resplendent with aliens, strange creatures, bizarre situations and lots of action and adventure it was definitely not a kids’ show.
Still, the more I watched the more I liked what I saw-minus the bad language of course.
It is one of the most imaginative and clever animated TV series I have ever seen.
Rick and Morty Book Of Gadgets And Inventions by Robb Pearlman contains all the far out mechanisms, formulas and other scientific bric-a-brac Rick's alcohol saturated mind has ever come up with.
It also includes all of the alien technology they have encountered on their adventures.
I gotta tell ya, this is one fun book to look at and read. If you enjoy the wacky, far out and bizarre then this book delivers on all accounts.
Recently it was announced that a new Ghostbusters movie is coming out and a new trailer was just released. I am excited!
I love the Ghostbusters movie franchise. I even enjoyed the all-woman cast Ghostbusters. It wasn’t quite as good as the originals but it did have its moments.
The miniature The Ghostbusters P.K.E. With Light and Sound lights up with the push of a button and depress another button and the P.K.E. arms flip up-just like the movie version!
Also included in the miniature gift box is a Ghostbusters Sticker Book.
Another miniature gift box that stop motion and Tim Burton fans are sure to cherish is Disney Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas collection.
You get a stack of magnetic stickers of characters from the film, a sticker book and a small foldout poster. It’s no nightmare-it’s a dream come true!
