In a Utah author's graphic novel, 13-year-old heroes take on monsters and dyslexia

Dustin Hansen has gone from designing video games to writing books — and in his first graphic novel, the young-readers title “My Video Game Ate My Homework,” the Ephraim, Utah, author combines the two.

The book — to be released Tuesday, April 28, by DC Comics — centers on four friends who get sucked into an immersive VR game, and must figure out a series of challenges to defeat the game and retrieve a science-fair project.
