Comic Books
Collecting the acclaimed 8-issue miniseries!
Joe is an imaginative eleven-year-old boy. He can’t fit in at school. He’s the victim of bullies. His dad died overseas in the Iraq war. He also suffers from Type 1 diabetes. One fateful day, his condition causes him to believe he has entered a vivid fantasy world in which he is the lost savior — a fantastic land based on the layout and contents of his home. His desperate attempts to make it out of his bedroom transform into an incredible, epic adventure through a bizarre landscape of submarine pirate dwarves, evil Hell Hounds, Lightning Lords and besieged castles. But is his quest really just an insulin deprived delirium — from which he can die if he doesn’t take his meds — or something much bigger?

How good is this?
I’m thinking about buying it.
I loved it, I think it’s definitely above average and a trade is the best way you can go.
This is wonderful!! It’s good clean crazy Morrison fun with some gorgeous art by Sean Murphy. In a collection such as this, I really couldn’t think of anything negative about it.
FINALLY.
I bought the first issue in… January 2010 (wow, nearly two years). Decided to trade wait the awesomeness as it would read better. :/
Excited!
really good – the art is beautiful, can’t wait to see it in the deluxe edition hardcover treatment.
Gorgeous collection but I really wish there was more bonus material…Seems like a real missed opportunity.
I’ve read this 3 times, and I can’t help but compare this to a Neil Gaiman book ( not comic ). Reminds me of Graveyard book, or Coraline. This would also make one hell of a movie. The art , writing, and characters are all amazing. Probably my favorite Morrison book since All Star Supes.
