Why didn’t they have hybrid-half-study-guide-half-manga when I was a kid!

And that’s not all! According to Wire Magazine:

It’s hard to tear yourself away from a good game of Warcraft to study for the SATs, but now you don’t really have to. Kaplan has teamed up with Tokyopop to create the “score-raising manga” series of books aimed at pumping up the vocab of students who want an edge going in to their SATs and ACTs, including Warcraft: Dragon Hunt, the first volume in the Sunwell Trilogy.

More than 300 words that frequently show up on the SATs and ACTs are highlighted throughout the text of the graphic novel , with definitions in the margins. I always knew that reading comic books could help you get into a better college, and now we have proof. It is a glorious day for geekdom.

Take a look at the cover:

Is that cool or what? Now how exactly do they work in SAT vocabulary words into that?

Maybe something like this:

As the noxious fumes emitted from the cantankerous glutton, the constripted combatant reached for the talisman the augurer had given him.
