Good evening. I don't want to know anything about GO 2 plotline. The anticipation and knowledge that it will be exactly what it is supposed to be is delightful, and we will all really love it!
My question actually involves the graphic and musical artists for the title sequence. Are they the same as season one? They were fantastic, as well as the composers that gave us the music that ties us to the series.
Peter Anderson studios just sent in their first draft of the New Titles, and they are madder than Season 1. David Arnold has composed the score for the first three episodes, and it's better, and possibly madder, than Season 1 too.

When my niece was little, she had a major seizure, resulting in delayed learning, vision, and hearing problems. For a long time, she couldn't really read. Needless to say, she wasn't great in school and teachers didn't have the time to dedicate 1x1 attention to her. She kept getting passed up as a way of getting rid of her, until finally, in her Junior year of high school she dropped out. One thing I noticed was, when she came over to my house, she gravitated toward my Mad Magazines and comics. She likes them because the pictures help her fill in the gaps in her reading comprehension. She is emotionally intelligent and mature, but at a great disadvantage because she's so behind in education. She's 20 years old and working 60-70 hours a week at a factory. My question for you is, what's a short run comic series that isn't for children but not too terribly hard to grasp that I could buy her for Christmas? Preferably something in full volume. I'd like to steer away from superheroes. I just want her to feel like someone gets her. Thank you in advance, even if you don't have an answer.
Comics are a fabulous tool to literacy. I don't know her or what she likes, but let me suggest a series called Bone, by Jeff Smith. It's published in a few different ways but probably the easiest to find are the graphic novel collections from Scholastic. It's simple and it builds into a satisfying and complex story.
