Review Copy Reviews

coverThe Annotated Mantooth! by Matt Fraction, Andy Kuhn, and Tim Fisher: I really didn't like the comic much. The character didn't interest me, the humor was a little off for my tastes, and the story didn't hang together well enough for my perfectionism. But the format of the book, which includes the script on the left page along with notes and the comic on the right page, worked really well for me. It turned what would have been an "eh." comic into an "Ah!" comic. And while I don't think my humor will ever align with Mantooth, I did very much enjoy the experience of reading this book. It became one of those lovely dichotomies that are always fun to experience. Recommended. 4 starfish
