One of my favorite artists, Gary Frank, joins writer Geoff Johns for an epic story teaming Superman with an adult version of the Legion of Super-Heroes.

Why haven’t they returned to visit him? What’s become of the symbol of Superman in the future? And just why is the future so dangerous for Superman? They warned him away, but now he’s determined to help his friends — even if it means his life!

The Klutz Book of Inventions and Flip UltraHD Give-a-way!

Necessity is the mother of invention.

To increase productivity, mankind needed an efficient way to illuminate the night.  So, Heinrich Goebel invented the light bulb and Thomas Edison, needing to be rich, stole that invention.  Guys like me needed to be able to sit through all three Director’s Cuts of The Lord of the Rings back-to-back without a bathroom break, so some genius made the Stadium Pal.

We are a needful people and The Klutz Book of Inventions is here to meet that need.  Perhaps you’re in need of Soundproof Underwear for instance?    The Klutz Book of Inventions is Co-written by Klutz founder John Cassidy and Brendan Boyle of IDEO, they came up with almost 200 never-before-seen contraptions that are brilliant, useful, and ridiculous all at the same time.

This book is hilarious.  The Wife snagged it from me the moment my review copy emerged from the package and was cracking up.  It’s a fun, fully illustrated volume of “162 inventions that do it all!”  Just think how useful this book would have been to Thomas Edison.  162 inventions right there in one book, ready for the stealing.

Sponsored by the good folks at Klutz, Ideology of Madness is hosting a contest to win The Klutz Book of Inventions in addition to a FLIP UltraHD Camcorder.  See details below.

The Deets:

One (1) Winner will receive:

  • Flip™ all-new slimmer UltraHD, and
  • A copy of KLUTZ BOOK OF INVENTIONS

All you gotta do is tell us about your snazzy innovative idea for an invention in the comments below.

One entry per person, please.

One winner will be chosen at random.

Items will only be shipped within the United States.  Prize support is courtesy of  Big Honcho Media.

Contest ends Friday, November 19, 2010 at 11:59 pm Central time.

“Y: The Last Man” Give-a-way!

Last week in Funnybooks, we talked about the books we’re supposed to like, but don’t.  The title I referenced is Y: The Last Man.  Despite my deep admiration for Brian K. Vaughan’s writing and Pia Guerra’s pencils, I just didn’t dig it.  But many, many others have!  I mean, c’mon, it won an Eisner Award.

“…A compelling series” – Booklist

“A gift to the comic book world!” - Ain’t It Cool News

“…Damn perfect.” - Brad Meltzer

I tried to like it.  I did!  Y just wasn’t to my taste.  My loss, though is your gain! I’m giving away my previously read, first three volumes of Y: The Last Man.

The Deets:

To qualify, just tell us in the comments which comic everyone tells you you’re supposed to like, but you just can’t abide.

One entry per person, please.

One winner will be chosen at random.

Items will only be shipped within the United States.

You must be 18 years or older to enter.

Contest ends Saturday, November 13, 2010 at 1:00 am Central time.  The winner will be announced on episode 70 of Funnybooks with Aron and Paulie.
