This comic was initially released last week but I wasn’t able to get a review of it up before I went away for the weekend.
This is the first of the Monsters, Inc series of 4 comics. Boom Kids is translating some of the Disney/Pixar movies into comic form. They’ve already done Toy Story and Wall-E is coming in the fall.
Each comic is a self contained story. This particular starts off with a commercial like introduction much like the movie. We then are reintroduced to the main characters of Sulley and Mike. Mike is now the top monsters for getting laughs, the new energy source for Monster City. He’s getting a bit to full of him self and the other monsters are not liking how self-absorbed he’s become. Sulley is finding that running the factory is very busy and stressful and he hasn’t got time for Mike or visiting Boo, the little girl from the first movie. So Mike takes it upon himself to bring Boo to Sulley.
That sets off a mystery as other monsters props and gags get stolen and Mike is framed for it all.
This is a great story that’s easy to read and has some good gags and laughs. Adults will also appreciate some of them. The art is colorful, just like the movie and drawn with emotion and care.
Is it Right for Kids? Sure is. This comic is good for all ages. There are a couple of panels with a little comic style violence but nothing to scary. Kids will enjoy seeing the characters from the movie back in a new story.
