Pick Your Pickle and Prepare for Puns: Pickleball's Board Game Just Launched. A fast, fun, irreverent board game that celebrates the joy of Pickleball. Fans of silly puns, pickles, and fast-paced games alike have a new game to add to their list of must-haves: HotShot Pickleball. This delightful card-drawing board game is quick to learn and gives a surprising amount of opportunity to lightly strategize as you race to the ball and attempt to hit it back over the net to your opponent. The debut release from indie studio Midnight Trading Co., HotShot Pickleball was made while game designer Robert Gelb was recovering from an Achilles injury sustained, ironically, by playing Pickleball. For those who haven’t heard of pickleball, it's the fastest-growing sport in the world, with over 32 million players last year. HotShot Pickleball is a lively, family-friendly game that combines the fun of the sport with a cast of quirky, pickle-themed characters like Stew Cumber, Kim Chee, and Corni

FF #10 - Paint It Black


They’ve handled media mockery, crippling self-doubt, kidnapping, and the greatest fiends the Negative Zone could throw at them -- but can the FF handle... THE SPOOKY KIDS?


SHIVER! As they write the names of weird bands you've never heard of ALL OVER their desktops!


QUAKE! As they use strange "slang" to hide their true conversations! What are they talking about? Could be... ANYTHING.


RECOIL! At their monstrous cell phone data plan bills every month. Seriously you have NO IDEA how much these kids use their phones.


The generation gap has come for the Future Foundation... BREAK OUT THE BLACK NAIL POLISH!

The Fantomex Love Pentagram explodes!

Puck! Man, does that guy love jerky. Especially buffalo and bison jerky, dipped in Canadian whiskey.

Plus: a terrifying surprise villain from the X-past is definitely playing chess, not checkers, across Los Angeles.
