Reviews

Remarkable... a comic book that can be savored and admired by everyone from kids to the most sophisticated graphic-novel devotee. The award-winning creator of Bone recaptures the whimsy and wonder of Captain Marvel's earliest 1940s adventures with vibrant line work and snappy dialogue. Grade B+. Smith's art is terrific. His storytelling is spot on and really clear -- something that most super hero comics struggle to achieve. Smith's style is wholly his own, but he captures the squinty-eyed look of the wizard and Captain Marvel quite well. Grade: B+. Smith recasts the Captain Marvel origin story in a kid-friendly sci-fi/fantasy vein, making boy hero Billy Batson into an urchin on the verge of becoming another Harry Potter. Slick, bright, emotional and witty, The Monster Society of Evil is everything super hero comics should be. Grade: A-.
