Cartoon Network Action Pack #36

A menacing skull-faced villain looms large on Jay Stephens's cover for this June 2009 issue, clutching a snapping green reptilian creature while a shadowy, wing-like shape spreads behind him — all rendered in a striking red and grey palette that sets a genuinely eerie tone. The Secret Saturdays story inside, "Escape from Weird World," is brought to life by writer John Rozum and artist Will Sweeney, promising plenty of the cryptid-tinged adventure the series does so well. Rounding out the package are additional stories featuring Samurai Jack and Codename: Kids Next Door, making this a satisfying anthology for fans of Cartoon Network's action lineup.
