Lightsaber Bookends Light Up, Cost $50, Ship Next Wednesday

We’re looking at bookends with Darth Vader’s lightsaber piercing either side, creating the illusion that he came to your house, saw your Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants book in plain sight on your bookshelf, and decided to create a paperback shish kabob.

Emanata: One Chord Wonders

Comics about pop music are a tempting, vexing proposition. You can tell stories about bands (D.M.C., Greatest Hits); you can try to build narratives around lyrics (Comic Book Tattoo); you can make fantastic comics about the subcultures that arise around music, and the way people respond to it (Scott Pilgrim, Hate).
