One of the best parts of writing about culture at WIRED is that we get to see, hear, read, and otherwise experience a lot of cool stuff before it comes out. But as focused as we are on the new, it doesn’t mean that we’re above experiencing something old for the first time. And just because we have dedicated culture reporters doesn’t mean theirs are the only palates that count. So, inspired by our friends at Gadget Lab, we asked our co-workers—from photographers to business writers to the geniuses who write the headlines—about that one thing they can’t get enough of this month. Maybe it’s a new album, maybe it’s an old show. Maybe it’s a book we just re-read for the first time since high school, maybe it’s a new game we got a chance to playtest. Whatever it is, if it’s in here, it’s because we love it.

If you had even a touch of "indoor kid" about you as a youngster, then you know that the Tintin graphic novels were the best thing Belgium ever produced. Dive through the panels and into the legend with this insane coffee-table stew of biography, exegesis, and behind-the-scenes material. (Expand the gallery for more details.) —Peter Rubin
