Kinda glad this is wrapping up…I haven’t enjoyed it as much as the critics obviously have. It was an interesting novelty, but I found myself getting bored about halfway through last issue.
I know it’s the artists little precocious brother, and not his child doing the writing, but I get the same feeling with this book as I do when parents show off pictures of their kids – “how nice for you, but I really don’t give a shit”.
Apologies for bringing my ’empty nest’ cynicism in today.
You have to take it for what is it; the insides of a 6 year olds mind. In short bursts this is amazing. It’s funny, keeps you guessing and strangely comes together as an actual story. I recently read the trade which collects most of the web content and while I enjoyed it, it’s not something to read cover to cover. However, it works great as a once a month thing. Keeps it fresh and enjoyable.
The first issue was incredible front to back, the second two had really funny moments interspersed by what you would expect from a kid. I gave this pick of the week for the last few pages though. Really, the best wrap to any story I’ve read.
I enjoyed this issue but I realized this book will never get a five from me. I wasn’t even reading the text anymore and was simply taking in the art which was great.
I felt let down by this book. It doesn’t surprise me that a six year old would have the hero chopping villains’ heads off. On the other hand, when I saw this was written by a six year old I said to myself, “hey! this would be a great book to read with my nine year old nephew!” Wrong idea. I could have found better entry books for someone at his age, and the level of violence in this just wasn’t appropriate. The fact that something is written by a six year old doesn’t excuse the publisher from placing age-appropriate guidances on the cover.
