Wonka VisionWonka Vision is celebrating its 10th anniversary this August, but it's new to us, just bounding into our library this week with its recent 'Art and Design' issue devoted to toys. Wonka Vision is one part feisty music magazine, one part indie art and culture commentary, and the rest seems to run on unbridled enthusiasm. The cover story is an interview with the creator of comic book character 'Spawn,' Todd McFarlane, who expounds on his passion for toys and sports. In my favorite item, the magazine matches up '80s pop culture icons, pitting the likes of the A-Team and GI Joe against each other in a battle of coolness. (The A-team wins, of course). -- Jenna Fisher

RELATED CONTENT

If you're looking for some heady reading, you might want to think about Brain Work, the bimonthly newsletter of the Dana Foundation. In the Jan/Feb issue, Brenda Patoine explores the theories behind neurogenesis -- the idea that humans continue creating new brain cells into adulthood. The theory runs counter to the long-held belief that humans were stuck with the same brain nerve cells for their entire lives. This issue also dishes the latest neuro-news about addiction, treatment, and experimentation. People interested in Brain Work can sign up for a subscription on the website, and the fact that it's free should put their minds at ease. -- Bennett Gordon
