This is the first graphic novel in a charming new all-age
series. The idea behind this book is that 10 years ago a mad scientist hit the
hospital hit the hospital in which Daniel was being born with a silence ray.
Only, this ray was reversed and so instead of being the world’s most quiet
child, Daniel Boom is now the loudest. Now along with his sister and 3 other
children who were born the same day as Loud Boy, Daniel forms a team of super
heroes to stop this mad scientist and his cohorts of an international cabal
that hopes to make the children of earth seen and not heard.
Except for a couple of fart jokes, the premier volume of
this series wasn’t bad. Yes, as with most children’s books, the jokes were old
and corny. But the art was exceptional and I really liked the color palette. If
I had a niece or nephew, I’d think of giving this book as a gift for sure!
Currently, there are 3 books in the series. Each volume is priced
at $6.99 but you can find them on Amazon for less. With each book clocking in
at 96 pages, that’s actually a much better deal than most new comics released
weekly.
Will I be seeking out further adventures? No, I’m not hooked
on this series but that doesn’t mean I don’t know quality when I see it. This
just is a bit too young for me. However, ages 8-14 will love this series and
parents will too!
Worth Consuming
