Competition: Win Riders of Berk: Dragon Down – a How to Train Your Dragon graphic novel
I’m looking forward to watching How to Train Your Dragon 2. You can’t go wrong by adding a little dragon action to the daily lives of a bunch of Vikings. At least, that’s what I think. To accompany the series DreamWorks are releasing a set of colourful graphic novels. The first volume is Dragon Down, […]

I know. I know. Infographics have to work very much harder to be worth your time and attention these days. I think this one, from Shirts.com does. It uses visuals to help you track when various X-Men first appeared, when they stopped being mentioned (often because they died) and when they appeared again. Professor X, […]
