The long-awaited sequel to Dave Roman’s Astronaut Academy: Zero Gravity (First Second, 2011) has finally been released! And because there should always be prizes, Dave has created oodles of ways to win stuff. Get your hands on Astronaut Academy: Re-Entry and blog about it, create fan art, or write a review, and you can win a chance to interview Dave, get a gigantic digital comics collection, or original artwork. There’s even a special prize just for librarians and educators—one classroom or library will win a free comics workshop (held over Skype) by Jerzy Drozd, creator of Comics Are Great!
The zaniness started in Zero Gravity continues in Astronaut Academy: Re-Entry. It’s springtime and love is in the air. Hakata Soy literally loses his heart—yes indeed, someone is stalking the halls and stealing the hearts of the crushes of the aspiring astronauts! Soy and his fellow classmates have got to get to the bottom of this, and fast. Falling in love has been banned at the academy, and that’s just not right. Visit the Astronaut Academy website now to hear more about the book and to enter the contest. Winners will be drawn at random on May 21.
