In four original tales, the family of Supers face challenges of life and villainy--growing up, older, and into their special powers, as they fight together against the bad guys who make heroes like Bob, Helen, Dash, Violet, and Jack-Jack, necessary. When Mr. Incredible struggles to save the day after a villainous attack--and the dastardly Bomb Voyage escapes unscathed--he begins to question his powers. But when he discovers that he's just getting a little older, Bob is inspired to look to the next generation of Supers, Dash and Violet, and begins training with them so that they can become the most incredible ever! Helen has reservations about the training, and when she sees Bob getting a little carried away after Dash and Violet make a couple of rookie mistakes, her fears are realized: intense training with their dad is souring Dash and Violet on the idea of becoming better Supers. But the family must reunite . . . because Bomb Voyage is still at large! In another story, Bob tells the kids a bedtime story that has Violet and Dash calling foul: this battle from his glory days seems too amazing to be true. They want to hear the real story--but they never imagined it would begin with their mom and dad's super-secret first date! Then, in two adventures all his own, baby Jack-Jack uses his powers to make friends with an army of ants, and then take on a worthy opponent at the local park! The adventures of the Parr family--AKA, The Incredibles--continue in this super comics collection, written by Christos Gage (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Amazing Spider-Man), and Landry Q. Walker (Batman: The Brave and the Bold), and illustrated by Gurihiru (Avatar: The Last Airbender), J.Bone (The Rocketeer), and Andrea Greppi and Roberta Zanotta (DuckTales)!

Big Night (1996), Ratatouille (2007), and Julie and Julia (2009) are more than films about food—they serve a political purpose. In the kitchen, around the table, and in the dining room, these films use cooking and eating to explore such themes as ideological pluralism, ethnic and racial acceptance, gender equality, and class flexibility—but not as progressively as you might think. Feasting Our Eyes takes a second look at these and other modern American food films to emphasize their conventional approaches to nation, gender, race, sexuality, and social status. Devoured visually and emotionally, these films are particularly effective defenders of the status quo. Feasting Our Eyes looks at Hollywood films and independent cinema, documentaries and docufictions, from the 1990s to today and frankly assesses their commitment to racial diversity, tolerance, and liberal political ideas. Laura Lindenfeld and Fabio Parasecoli find women and people of color continue to be treated as objects of consumption even in these modern works and, despite their progressive veneer, American food films often mask a conservative politics that makes commercial success more likely. A major force in mainstream entertainment, American food films shape our sense of who belongs, who has a voice, and who has opportunities in American society. They facilitate the virtual consumption of traditional notions of identity and citizenship, reworking and reinforcing ingrained ideas of power.
