fast service. Great bok.
From the editing team that brought you 'Comics Squad: Recess" comes an all-new treasury of comics devoted to the second most popular class at school- LUNCH! Fan favs such as Babymouse, Lunch Lady, and the Peanuts gang return from book one to in this very fun collection.
Of the eight stories contained in this anthology, seven were really good. My favorite was, of course, the Nathan Hale's Hazardous Tales adventure. I just am in love with that series.
Here, captured spy Nathan Hale recounts a short story set during the second world war. When an American naval ship runs afoul of a giant Japanese destroyer, they set out to sink the Imperial monster or be sunk themselves. As the battle rages in the Pacific, the American ship runs out of ammo, that is until someone gets the idea to start shooting bombs made of potatoes and other items from the galley. It's an all-true account of a food fight that helped save the free world!!!
Other really great stories in this collection involves the secret origin of Lunch Lady when she was a bullied child and Sara Varon's 'Worst Day Ever' about two rivals becoming friends thanks to lunchtime science experiments. Another great tale is titled Cave Soup. This yarn by Jedi Academy creator Jeffrey Brown involves two pairs of Neanderthal children. The older pair keep pushing off their chores on the younger while they goof around. But the younger cave-kids are one step ahead of their older siblings and are determined to make sure the big brother and big sister have to clean up.
The Case of the Missing Science Project by Meanwhile's Jason Shiga was my least favorite story. This choose-your-own-adventure type story should've been one of the best stories in this book but the idea just didn't translate very well in the graphic novel medium. Originally, a CYOA story has you given a series of options to choose from and then you flip to the corresponding page number
. While a few page numbers are given in Shiga's story, most of your choices require you to follow a snaking series of arrows that often get a little confusing to follow. I did enjoy many of the bizarre ways that the hero of the Missing Science Project met his fate. Those crazy ending were part of what made those CYOA books so fun to read.
Despite this one disappointing story- this was a fun read that any school aged child 13 and under should enjoy.
I want to thank the publisher for providing me with a copy of this book to read and review. Receiving this book for free has in no way altered my opinion or review.
I will be honest and say it's been a very long time since I read any comics at all. I remember getting the paper as a child and that was the only section I would read. And then in college I started getting the paper just so I could read the comics on Sunday while relaxing. So, I did what I thought would be best and sat down on a Sunday with my big cup of coffee and read through this cute comics!
I will say that it was really fun to see what the authors came up with. From food fights in the cafeteria, to history lessons about the World War II, these little snippets were funny and yet serious. Good lessons taught to all.
I truly enjoyed the Snoopy comic as it brought me back to my childhood.
I will say I had a hard time following The Case of the Missing Science Project. I liked the concept, but the arrows just confused me too much to read it. I think this one might be hard for children to follow, as well.
Overall, I really enjoyed reading these and I've passed them on to my kids to have fun with.
There are eight different comics in this book, all revolving around lunch! I don't read comics like I used to so I was interested to read this collection. They were all so different. I really enjoyed "Lunch Bomb 43" by Nathan Hale. He shares a true story from WWII about how potatoes were used to sink a Japanese submarine. I thought it was a clever way to share history in a book about lunch. "Cave Soup" by Jeffrey Brown was a fun way to show that we have more in common with neanderthal's than we sometimes think. "Lunch Girl" by Jarrett J. Krosoczka shows how a girl deals with a bully at lunchtime. "The Case of the Missing Science Project" by Jason Shiga uses the choose your own ending format. You follow the arrows and make decisions to see how the story will turn out. I thought "Babymouse: Lunch Table Champion" by Jennifer L. Holm and Matthew Holm was cute, too. Babymouse's lunch table was taken over so she turns to the story of Robin Hood to take it back. It turns into a mean game of dodgeball with a funny twist at the end.
This was fun to read and I did enjoy some of them more than others. If you love comics, this is a good one to add to your collection!
I received a copy from the publisher for an honest review. My opinion is 100% my own.
Funny and very well done 2-color format. Planning to use it for inspiration while teaching elementary schools comic book art.
