Barbie believed Ken when he told her that everything was fine. That no, of course they hadn’t fallen behind on their Dream House mortgage payments. That the bank had simply made a mistake. That the final eviction notice they received was meant for Bebe and Kev down the street. (Admittedly, this last deception rang false to her; Barbie had never met either Bebe or Kev.) But when the police forcibly entered via the pearly pink elevator door, disrupting the engagement party she was hosting for Skipper and her Playmobil fiancé, the awful truth struck Barbie all at once, with the force of a LEGO brick dropped carelessly from a great, great height.

imagecomics: NOWHERE MEN PLAYS TO SELL-OUT CROWD First issue gets 2nd printing If science is the new rock ‘n’ roll (and it is), then NOWHERE MEN #1 has done its part to usher in the new cool by selling out at the distribution level the same day as its release, November 28. The issue will receive a second printing, to be in stores on January 9. The premiere of the new sci-fi pop-art mash-up by Image Publisher Eric Stephenson, artist Nate Bellegarde, and colorist Jordie Bellaire, NOWHERE MEN was already being roundly praised on the day of its release. iFanboy called it “a complete experience that’s unlike anything else on the stands,” and it was the Pick of the Week at Multiversity Comics. IGN said, “Nowhere Men is going somewhere, and it seems to be a trip worth taking. At Crave Online, a review proclaimed that “Stephenson’s concept is rock solid, and it forms an instant connection with the reader” and Mediocrity is the New Genius said, “Stephenson has given us just enough story here to make us crave more.” Read Comic Books gives the issue a perfect “10,” saying “Image seems to have another winner on its hands.” A riveting story of scientific hubris, stand-out art, and slick pop-art design by Fonografiks makes NOWHERE MEN #1 the complete package—and the all-new cover of issue #1’s second printing is just as striking as the original cover. NOWHERE MEN #2 , which carries the tantalizing—if foreboding—tagline “There are fates worse than death,” will be in stores on January 9.

I don’t know much about baseball, but this morning I was watching the 1960s episode of “When It Was a Game.” And there was Bill Mazeroski. I met him once at a book signing, where I got his autograph for my grandfather, Clyde E. Deal, who always listened to the Pirates on the radio (sometimes while watching the Steelers on TV). Anyway, I love this photo of Maz rounding third after hitting a home run to win the 1960 World Series at Forbes Field. The bleachers were already emptying before he came home. I wonder how those two kids remember it.
