I didn’t even know that the Angry Birds had a comic book!
But the stars of video games, action figures, clothes, candy, and more do and
this Halloween, they might end up as one of your Halloween treats.
I know that this is
the second Halloween ComicFest 2014 offering in a row of a comic based on a
comic. But I promise you, not every book this year is like that. This just
happened to be the luck of the draw. In
this exclusive mini-comic, one of the leaders of the pigs tells of a scheme to
get at the Angry Birds’ nest by creating a Franken-pig out of dead swine.
However, these pigs have no self-control and go absolutely bonkers. There are
also 3 one-page length short stories that star various birds and pigs.
Despite the fact I’ve played Angry Birds a couple of
times, I don’t know the red bird from the black one and until I read this, I
didn’t even know that the pigs wanted to steal the birds’ eggs, much less that
they had a king! So, if this book is as entertaining or fun as the video games,
I don’t know.
Now, what I read, I liked. Also, I thought the art was spot
on to what the characters look like in the video game. The stories weren’t so
bad. It was a little more suited for older kids than Plants Vs. Zombies. Would
I search this series out for more Angry Bird Hi-jinx? Probably not. But if I
received this book as a treat for trick-or-treating this year, I would be very
excited and not feel like I would’ve wanted candy instead.
Worth Consuming
Rating: 8 out of 10 stars.
