I’m a little mixed on
this book. It wasn’t bad but it wasn’t very Halloween-y either. In this mini
comic by Boom! Studios, you get 3 tales, one starring the gang from Adventure
Time, one with the Fraggles of Fraggle Rock, and the third is a small
collection of Peanuts cartoons. Only the Peanuts cartoons have anything at all
to do with Halloween in terms of setting or theme.
The Adventure Time story was a little confusing. I’m used to
Jake and Finn and that’s about it. I know there is an Ice Wizard and a
Princess. However, I don’t think the Wizard is a good guy for some reason. This
story starred somebody name ‘Stache’ who wakes up without his moustache.
Everyone thinks he’s an imposter and are out to get him. There is a small
element of horror but other than that, it’s just a story about a bunch of
characters I know nothing about. Even the art looked nothing like what I little
I’ve seen of the cartoon.
As for the Fraggle Rock adventure, its stars my least
favorite Fraggle, Mokey. She’s always so flighty and well, to be honestly, if
the folks dreaming up Fraggle Rock weren’t high enough, I’m pretty sure Mokey
was made from hemp and stuffed with hashish. In this story, the artist of
Fraggle Rock loses here ‘inspiration’ but as she explains how she lost it, she
finds that it never really left her at all.
Overall, not my favorite of 2014 Halloween ComicFest offers
that I came across. Will I still give this out to trick-or-treaters who come to
my door? Absolutely! It’s not bad. It’s just not very much in the Halloween
spirit, and it’s not my cup or tea. But it’s also something that parents
shouldn’t find objectionable.
Worth Consuming
Rating: 7 out of 10 stars.
