SuperMutant Magic Academy (Paperback)
The New York Times and New Yorker illustrator Jillian Tamaki is best known for co-creating the award-winning young adult graphic novels Skim and This One Summer—moody and atmospheric bestsellers. SuperMutant Magic Academy, which she has been serializing online for the past four years, paints a teenaged world filled with just as much ennui and uncertainty, but also with a sharp dose of humor and irreverence. Tamaki deftly plays superhero and high-school Hollywood tropes against what adolescence is really like: The SuperMutant Magic Academy is a prep school for mutants and witches, but their paranormal abilities take a backseat to everyday teen concerns.
Science experiments go awry, bake sales are upstaged, and the new kid at school is a cat who will determine the course of human destiny. In one strip, lizard-headed Trixie frets about her nonexistent modeling career; in another, the immortal Everlasting Boy tries to escape this mortal coil to no avail. Throughout it all, closeted Marsha obsesses about her unrequited crush, the cat-eared Wendy. Whether the magic is mundane or miraculous, Tamaki's jokes are precise and devastating.
SuperMutant Magic Academy has won two Ignatz Awards. This volume combines the most popular content from the webcomic with a selection of all-new, never-before-seen strips that conclude Tamaki's account of life at the academy.

Praise For…
“Tamaki's sense of comedy and pacing owes a lot to Charles Schulz's "Peanuts," although her subject matter is decidedly less innocent. And she delights in breaking her own rules: Her artwork is black-and-white except when she throws in impish splashes of color, drawn with broad, rough brush strokes except when it's composed of felt-tip scribbles or shimmering digital gray.” —New York Times
“SuperMutant Magic Academy... exudes an irresistible wit.” —The Guardian
“This collection is a great read for comic fans and genre newbies alike.” —Bust Magazine
“[SuperMutant Magic Academy] is smart, thoughtful, and too hilarious to gobble down in just one sitting.” —Bitch Magazine
“When it comes down to it, this is one of the best books. of any kind to come out in a long time.” —Autostraddle
“The humor [in SuperMutant Magic Academy] is sometimes slapstick, but more often it offers ultra-dry observations on modern disengagement. Tamaki is playful and loose with her art, unafraid to be experimental as she draws us into a world where true feelings are the greatest danger.” —Publishers Weekly Starred Review
“Though Tamaki's black and white panels shift from detailed and realistic to dreamy and atmospheric and back again, she consistently and expertly captures subtle emotion and subtext with only a few strokes of the pen. [SuperMutant Magic Academy is] simultaneously heartbreaking and hilarious.” —Booklist Starred Review
“SuperMutant Magic Academy will reassure teenagers that high school is a weird place, even for humans, and will remind adults that it is an experience we never really outgrow.” —Winnipeg Free Press

Reviews for "The Allure of Crayola Color Wonder Magic: A Masterpiece in Every Shade"
1. Samantha - 2 out of 5 stars - I was really disappointed with Crayol Color Wonder Magic. The concept of a mess-free coloring experience is great, but the actual markers and paper were a letdown. The markers were dull and didn't color smoothly, and the paper felt cheap and thin. My child lost interest in using the set after a few minutes because the colors didn't show up vibrantly. I expected better quality from a trusted brand like Crayola.
2. John - 2 out of 5 stars - I purchased Crayol Color Wonder Magic for my niece, hoping it would provide a fun and mess-free coloring experience. However, the colors were very pale and inconsistent, barely showing up on the special paper. It was frustrating to see my niece get excited about coloring, only to be disappointed by the lack of vibrant colors. I wouldn't recommend this product unless you're looking for a very subdued coloring experience.
3. Emily - 1 out of 5 stars - Crayol Color Wonder Magic was a complete waste of money for me. The markers barely worked, and when they did, the colors were extremely faint. The paper provided didn't seem to have any special coating to make the colors magically appear, as advertised. I ended up having to purchase a separate set of markers and paper to satisfy my child's coloring needs. Save your money and skip this product.
4. Jason - 2 out of 5 stars - I had high hopes for Crayol Color Wonder Magic, but unfortunately, it didn't live up to the claims. The markers dried out very quickly, making them nearly useless after a few uses. The set also came with a limited amount of paper, which meant I had to constantly buy more just to keep my child entertained. Overall, I think the concept of mess-free coloring is great, but the execution of this product needs improvement.
