Is this the end? Well, no…the series will stagger on through at least one more scheduled sequel. Sure signs that the creative wells are running dry at last, the Captain’s ninth, overstuffed outing both recycles a villain (see Book 4) and offers trendy anti-bullying wish fulfillment. Not that there aren’t pranks and envelope-pushing quips aplenty.

A dragon smart enough to see through a knight’s “I DO NOT seek your gold!” might seem fearful enough. But Madan’s collection of poetry, presented in comics format, features plenty of formidable characters, from the boneless “Squishosaurs” (“We glide across the countryside / And in our viscous wake, / The T.
