Enjoy comics on hoopla!
George and Harold are two amazing kids. Not only did they create Captain Underpants, but they saved the world five times! But once again George and Harold are in trouble with their school principal, Mr. Krupp. After they make a mess in the school gym, they have to write a 100-page report on "good citizenship," so they invent a new superhero: Super Diaper Baby. This is an actual baby called Billy who gains special super powers.
 
Bruce Banner, AKA the Hulk, is a genius scientist and superhero whose rage-outs have led him to damage way too much public property. After his latest meltdown, Tony Stark arranges a PR move to smooth things over. Hulk will perform community service--by teaching. Can Banner make it through the school year without destroying everything? And can middle school kids really learn anything when the HULK is their teacher?
Nothing has been going right for Jinx. People at school think she's a goth weirdo, and now her parents are getting divorced. She has to move to an unfamiliar apartment building that doesn't feel like home. And when a new neighbor gives her a mysterious crystal, her life is turned even more upside down by the Adorables, a mischievous band of magical creatures. They are messy, distracting, and, worst of all, they follow Jinx everywhere. She just wants to be left alone! Getting rid of the Adorables turns out to be harder than expected, but they might just help Jinx find her way back to happiness.
