Cartoon Network Action Pack #40

Issue #40 of Cartoon Network Action Pack brings The Secret Saturdays front and center, with cover art by Jay Stephens showing a menacing villain in red gripping a young boy by the head while bizarre, worm-like tendrils swirl through the stormy air around them — tense stuff rendered in sharp, animated style. The story "Meal Worms," crafted by writer John Rozum and artist Scott Jeralds, promises the kind of cryptid-flavored adventure the Saturday family does best. Rounding out the package are additional stories featuring Samurai Jack and Codename: Kids Next Door, making this October 2009 issue a satisfying three-for-one read.
