Elsa Bloodstone is stationed on the Shield, burdened with the Sisyphean task of keeping the zombie hordes from rampaging through Battleworld. In those moments where she's not enrapt in the throes of battle, she meditates on her deceased father...how everything he taught her gave her the means to fight the zombies, but all the love he didn't give her is what motivated the self-destructive actions that landed her on the Wall in the first place. But when she sees a human child caught in the middle of the zombieverse, she'll muster every ounce of determination she has to throw herself into the zombie horde to rescue the girl. And once Elsa finds her, she's going to have to fight her way back out... Rated T+

Things to Doodle and Do!

Bravest Warriors is one of the best all-ages animated series out there. Best part is, it's all on YouTube! Check out the first episode from Season 01:

The comic book series is just as great. Along with the comics and graphic novels, Cartoon Hangover has put out an activity book that is not only fun and engaging, but it also pushes readers to create their own creations inside the Bravest Warriors universe. It's a heck of a lot more than lame non-activity books we remember from our youth (stupid mazes and connect the dots pages).

We are selling the book on ebay starting at just $5.00.
