Dungeons & Dragons: Saturday Morning Adventures

https://www.amazon.com/Dungeons-Dragons-Saturday-Morning-Adventures/dp/1684059437/

Long before the world turned upside down and new generations discovered D&D, six kids boarded a magical roller coaster and were transported to the Forgotten Realms!

Noble ranger Hank, intrepid acrobat Diana, quiet thief Sheila, impulsive barbarian Bobby, fearful and cavalier Eric, and uncertain magician Presto only want to get back to their own world. But escaping the Realms has turned out to be much harder than getting there! Danger lurks at every turn, the enigmatic Dungeon Master is less than helpful, and Venger, the force of evil, will stop at nothing to get his hands on the magical weapons the kids have come to rely on. To top it off, Hank has made a startling discovery: Despite the dangers, Sheila, Bobby, Diana, and the others aren’t so sure they want to go home after all!

Bards David M. Booher (Canto) and Sam Maggs (Rick and Morty Ever After) join artificer George Kambadais (John Carter of Mars) for a thrilling “lost episode” that charts new territory in the world of D&D.

Dungeons & Dragons aired on CBS in 1983 and ran for three seasons with 27 episodes, but premature cancellation meant crucial scripts went unproduced. Yet, it still made an indelible impression on its audience, and legions of D&D players recall it fondly to this day.

Doc and Angus rally behind Captain America Sam Wilson as he battles low approval ratings and the slithery sabotage of the vile Sons of the Serpent.

Captain America: Sam Wilson Vol. 1

https://www.amazon.com/Captain-America-Wilson-Vol-2015-2017-ebook/dp/B01DCJIW8C/

When Steve Rogers was restored to his natural age, he chose one of his closest and most trusted allies to take up his shield: Sam Wilson, formerly the Avenger known as the Falcon! But Sam isn't Steve — and after recent events, he's on the outs with both his old friend and S.H.I.E.L.D. What could have sent the high flying new Cap's approval rating plummeting so dramatically? Things get slithery when the vile Sons of the Serpent make the scene, and you'll howl at the glorious return of fan-favorite Cap-Wolf — well, Fal-Cap-Wolf! But what other horrors await in the dungeon of Doctor Malus? And who will be the All-New, All-Different Falcon? The headline-making Sam Wilson is a Captain America for today!

Collects Captain America: Sam Wilson #1-6.
