What Are We Reading FIRST?!

Image
HOME Do you remember the magic of Saturday mornings? Big bowls of cereal, cartoons on the TV, and the world feeling full of endless possibilities? Well, we’re here to bring that same excitement to YOU—but with an epic twist: comics! At Southfield’s SUPER Secret Comic Shop, we don’t just love stories. We LOVE superheroes, wild adventures, and fun that jumps right off the page! And today, we’re kicking off something extra special. Meet The Kinder Guardians: Let’s talk about "The Kinder Guardians" —a superhero team like no other! Imagine your favorite superheroes, but as kids, hilarious, and ready to save the day their own way. Think Muppet Babies meets the Justice League . Sounds awesome, right? Our first issue, "How Far is Up?!" focuses on three students, Pep -- our resident SPEEDSTER, and the Ultra Twins, Castor and Pollux.  Pep, the resident speedster, has a goal to run THROUGH the sky!  But, supporting it puts Ultra-Twins, Castor and Pollux at odds.  Is it better...

Focus: It's a Matter of Space!

    HOME Dr. Vincent Wonder’s lectures are usually out of this world—literally. But today? Let’s just say his head’s a little more in the clouds ... of Saturn. Dr. Wonder may be teaching from space, but today’s lesson hits a little closer to home: what you focus on, grows. Whether it's a science project, a big dream, or a galactic-sized goal, manifestation is all about putting your mind where your mission is. Just one question though... If he’s the one teaching about focus... what’s he so distracted by? Q&A:   If you could make anything real just by focusing on it, what would you choose—and why? (A new invention? A dream job? A moon base of your own?)

  HOME When most people solve a mystery, they celebrate. Mathieu...he's FAR from most people.  (Literally) With a single coded message—sent to every agency from his Dad to The Secret Service—Young Wonder just might have saved someone incredibly important. But you’d never know it from the outside. No fist-pumps. No dramatic exits. Just quiet confidence and the hum of a job well done. Because for Mathieu, saving the world is just part of the reading experience. Q&A: If you had to send a secret message to a hero team, how would you do it?  Would you hide it in a puzzle, write it in code, or disguise it as something totally ordinary?

Big Brains. BIGGER Secrets.

  HOME Crack the code. Connect the clues. Save the day. While most of us read to escape reality, Mathieu reads to decode it—and today, the story has led him to a chilling truth hidden in plain sight. In a flurry of brilliant connections—dates, locations, even the spelling of certain names—Mathieu uncovers a dangerous plan . It’s not just fiction anymore… this book holds clues to a real-world plot targeting someone very important. He doesn’t panic. He doesn’t shout. He just writes one simple, secure message—cleverly encoded—to alert the right people before it’s too late. Some heroes fight with fists. Young Wonder fights with facts. Q&A:   If you discovered a hidden message that could help someone in danger, what would you do? Who would you tell first—and how would you make sure they believed you?

The Plot THICKENS...Literally!

Image
  HOME Ever read something so strange, so specific, that it made you stop and flip back a few pages—just to be sure? Young Wonder did. And now, that book he's reading might not be just a story… it might be a coded confession . Authori Theotian—best-selling novelist or something much more dangerous? Mathieu’s instincts are on high alert. The pacing, the phrasing, the oddly perfect timing of certain facts... something about this book is too real. And if he’s right, then this desert retreat just turned into the scene of his next big case. Q&A: Have you ever spotted a hidden message in a book, movie, or song that no one else noticed? What was it—and what made you catch it? Why stop, now?  The story CONTINUES!

Mystery in the Middle of Nowhere

Image
  HOME Sometimes the best place to crack open a book... is the middle of nowhere. Young Wonder—Mathieu to his family—has traded tech, city noise, and crime-fighting chaos for total isolation. No signal. No teammates. No distractions. Just a canteen, a campsite, and one seriously un-put-downable book. This isn’t just any camping trip—it’s a challenge of the mind and body. Out here in the desert, survival is the assignment. But leave it to Mathieu to turn downtime into detective training. Every paragraph fuels his focus, every chapter sharpens his instincts. What’s he reading? That’s still a secret. But it might just spark the mystery of a lifetime… Q+A: If you were stuck in the desert with just one book —what book would you bring and why? Don't stop now -- the story is JUST getting started! Want to own your own copy?  You can order one from my online shop at          IndyPlanet.com.    Wonders of the Weird & Beyond #1 "Introduc...
