It's like 100 lbs. of awesome in a 5 lb. bag!,
This review is from: The Mighty Skullboy Army Volume 1 (Paperback)
Mighty Skullboy Army: Great comic or the GREATEST comic?
Mighty Skullboy Army takes all of the greatest things you can ever imagine and rolls it up into a burrito of awesomeness that can only be consumed by the largest of brontosaurs. IT IS THAT COOL. Skullboy is a skull boy. His minions are a monkey and a robot. He goes to school. WHAT MORE DO YOU NEED? Only sissies and mimes would refuse such a great comic that is so good, IT MAKES ITS OWN GRAVY. YOU NEED TO BUY THIS. Like, RIGHT NOW. Jesus is sitting up in heaven, smoking a giant cigar, eating a big juicy steak, and he's thinking, "Man, what would go really nicely with this delicious porterhouse? I KNOW! Mighty Skullboy Army!" And then he starts reading it, laughing really hard, and all the loud laughing and cigar smoking really bothers the other patrons who are trying to enjoy their meals. But do they complain? No! Because if they did, Jesus would slap them with MIGHTY SKULLBOY ARMY VOLUME 1! That would be lethal! MSBA (as the kids call it. you know, those cool kids you want to be friends with? Yeah, they refer to it as that. BECAUSE THEY ARE COOL) is so freakin' sweet, it will get you a date with cheerleaders! Even if you wear glasses! MSBA always carries a fat wad of cash, so it can always score the best table at the jazz club! MSBA is the comic that other comics stop on the street and ask autographs from. AUTOGRAPHS ON THEIR FACE. Dude, I can't make this any more totally clear to you. YOU HAVE TO BUY THIS. If you don't buy it, you will never have friends! I mean it. I don't want that to happen. Skullboy doesn't want that to happen. BUT IT WILL. That's why you need to order Mighty Skullboy Army and have it shipped via FIRE-BREATHING PEGASUS post-haste!

Dissapointing,
This review is from: The Mighty Skullboy Army Volume 1 (Paperback)
This is one of the few books in the last year that really disappointed me. The publisher blurb states: "Brazen robots! Hostile corporate takeovers! Ill-fated interns! Criminally insane turnips! Distinctly unhelpful helper monkeys! And hats, dear God, hats aplenty! All this and more awaits any brave soul ready and willing to enlist in the ranks of the Mighty Skullboy Army! How do you sign up, you ask? Just purchase this book, absorb its nefarious bounty (we recommend using the eyes-to-brain method), and say hello to your new lord and master, Skullboy! If he's not home from elementary school yet, be sure to pick up a handy pager. You will be called upon when needed. Oh, and be sure to beef up on that health insurance." What it feels like is a cheap blend of Calvin and Hobbes with Pinky and the Brain. Yet without the intellectualism of Calvin or the humor found in Pinky. The illustrations were okay, the story so-so and overall not really worth it. I won't be buying volume 2 if it ever comes out!
5.0 out of 5 stars
Love it, love everything about it,
This review is from: The Mighty Skullboy Army Volume 1 (Paperback)
I have been following this artist for some time now and I am not disappointed with this book. One of my favorite aspects of Jacob Chabot's storytelling his is creative and brilliant use of contrasts and details. Remove one of the trio of the Skullboy army, and the whole concept falls apart. But as a whole, it is perfect. In addition, many of the subtle details appear on the re-reading of this wonderful book (watch for Number 2's relationship with birds) and one realizes that this is not just a bunch of fine drawings hacked together, but a fantasic work of art.
