It's a Wonderful Neverland
by Patrick Greene & Jason Pizzarello
Neverland is turned on its head in this clever blend of It's a Wonderful Life and JM Barrie's classic tale. When the Lost Boys go missing, Peter Pan wishes he never came to Neverland. Unfortunately, his wish is granted by Tinkerbell's unkempt fairy cousin, Stinkerbell, and Peter is given a glimpse of what the world would be like without him. Seeing the Lost Boys now employed by Captain Hook (now known as Captain Two Hands), the obnoxious Darling children, and a Tinkerbell who's lost her wits, Peter finally realizes the importance of his existence--and how it really is a wonderful Neverland.
Drugs Are Bad
by Jonathan Rand
Brad comes home from school one day to find his parents waiting for him, deeply concerned. They have found a secret that Brad stashed away in his underwear drawer: an ALGEBRA BOOK. That's right...Brad's been studying behind their backs, instead of following his parent's strict insistence on sex, drugs, and rock n' roll. What unfolds is a parody of all those insufferable after-school specials that made us who we are today.
Apocalypse or Bust!
by Davis Alianiello
It's Doomsday, and the Four Horseman of the Apocalypse have been called into action. Unfortunately, it turns out they are completely unprepared and have accidentally killed their horses. Luckily, the four contentious personalities (Conquest, War, Famine, Death) meet Phyllis -- a recently deceased Midwestern woman and their human liaison for the End of Days. Together, they hitchhike their way to Earth, but various forgotten cultural figures keep delaying their progress. Will the Horseman reach their destination in time to cause the end of the world?
Everyone Gets Eaten By Sharks: A Cautionary Tale
by Marshall Pailet
FACT: Most people, if not everyone, will eventually be eaten by sharks. But you can postpone the inevitable (and get a great deal on a timeshare!) by joining Adventure Dan on a tour through shark-infested scenarios to avoid, such a kayaking with meat paddles, night-swimming after prom, or genetically engineering sharks for science. Because three things in life are certain: taxes, death, and specifically death by shark. A delightfully madcap comedy you're sure to devour...unless it devours you first!
