I love Regular Show !! The graphic novel was even better than I could have imagined. Ugh 😩 so good !!

Nice addition for fans of the tv show like me but otherwise just your run of the mill comic. Plus, seeing the characters in paper is a bit weird.

I love this show. Needless to say I was thrilled to stumbled up this comic when I was in Chicago. I look forward to reading the other volumes.

A fun & funny read, but it definitely ends pretty abruptly & quickly. Will probably read more volumes eventually.

Some stories are better than others, just like the show. Artwork is well done. Never understood why Mordecai remained friends with Rigby - he can be such a jerk.

Boom/kaBoom comics continues to stretch their licensed Cartoon Network muscles with Regular Show Vol. 1. The comic, penned by K.C. Green, is a pitch-perfect replication of the television show, with some excellent and fun artwork by Allison Strejlau. The comic does not reach the same clever heights as Ryan North's Adventure Time books, opting instead to provide an experience closer to the familiar, than offer up a new spin on the material. What's on display is the usual stab at the hip, with the usual horror-esque antics of the park crew. Green's writing is spot on for the job, and the book reads exactly how a fan of the show would suspect, for better or worse.
The rest of the book is a collection of tiny short stories, with lots of indie talent on display. These range from cute to funny, without anything standing out as brilliant or offensive. Then there's the obligatory tome of collected variant covers which kaBoom like to provide at the back of each collection. There's some neat artwork in there, but it also makes for a lot of padding in this deceptively light trade. There's less than thirty minutes of entertainment in this book, between light dialogue and the measly two full issues collected here-in.
If you're a fan of the show, this trade will make for a good addition to your collection of RS swag, and you'll probably get a laugh or two out of it. Otherwise, it's not out to convert you, and an easy skip for the average comic-reader.

I'm trying to increase my collection of graphic novels in my classroom library. If I run across a student who really does not want to read I can usually get them to try a graphic novel. Some of my favorites are Cardboard by Doug TenNapel and Simle by Raina Telgemeier. My students enjoy them too. Regular Show was being sold through Scholastic, so I bought it using some points I've accrued. I love the vibrant colors used on each story, but I thought the stories where pretty... blah. The comic contains four short stories and none of them really stand out to me. I've never seen the TV show, therefore I had no idea who any of the characters were. I get the feeling that the authors were counting on the reader to already be familiar with the TV show. I hope my students will enjoy it more than I did.

Good, but not as good as watching an episode. The artwork and zany storylines are there, but I missed the voicework. Readers who haven't watched even part of an episode may be a little lost on its many charms.
Recommended for fans who regularly watch the show and want something to tide them over while waiting for a new season.

Oooooooh! Yeaaah huhh!!
Fans of the show will enjoy this comic series. Funny little stories just like the show, but it was a wee bit crazy to see all this on paper.
If you take a few lessons away from this, they will be... never throw away good food, never start a hippie mosh pit, never let a balloon head cut your hair and beware of the freegans!

As a huge fan of the show, the first couple comics were not quite as good as they could have been.

Actually, 3.5. I liked the two main stories: good draws and plots. But the four short stories, ones are better than others. The fanarts are awesome.

Illustrations are a li’l more stonery than the cartoon in a good way. Lazy eyes and rounder slack faces and bodies. Even funnier than the show w/ trash-gorging Rigby, easily thrilled Thomas, and self-assured Muscle Man trying to put on a better park concert. W/ impromptu moshing! The coloring in these panels is very cool, acidy washed-out Easter egg. The end of that story is especially funny and cute.
In the next ch/story Mordecai needs a haircut for a date w/ Margaret. This artist draws a bit too stiffly with a lot of hard wrinkle lines in side characters. Pops gives him the cut even though Skips warns Rigby. This color palette is more sucked-on bubblegum and I like the old-timey “villain.” That has more of a Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack vibe w/ a Dr Barber cousin-type and disturbing end.
The third story really diverges from the show art to make everyone Hat Man creepy w/ shadows and bulging eyes. It is cutely goofy when they tie Rigby’s Hellish face tight to make him look better in a roller coaster picture though.
There’s a pillow monster/Sand Man short about the guys pulling an all-nighter for a comic con signing like the Japanese coffee bean episode. It has a gag that looks like Rigby’s peeing in his mouth. Haha.
Glad the penultimate story has Eileen and big bro Don. The dialogue sounds kinda off like Invader Zim or there’s skipped implications, though it’s immediately obvious the pair’s true plans.
The last piece has a trollish trad comic art style. My least fav of the issue. In the back is a huge collection of special edition covers w/ tons of funky dress ups and stacked callbacks.

This show hooked me when it first came out. I’m not sure why, but because short clips hooked me, I have to assume it was the two main characters. I’ve always been a sucker for underachievers. I sometimes daydream about having less responsibility and just being able to work minimally and have fun. But I’m too high strung for that shit. I’m the gum ball dispenser in real life. So I live vicariously through characters like this.
The first volume of the comic was okay. You get those incredibly fast-paced stories that escalate at breakneck speed into surreal situations, that somehow everyone just shrugs at and knows about.
A slug demon with dog tits?
Yeah that slug demon comes around from time to time. Had moose tits last time though 🤷🏻♀️ We can beat it
After a while this formula gets a bit old, but I still like the characters. I’m not sure I’ll read more of this, but it was worth checking out the first volume.

Me ha pasado un poco como el comic que leí de Hora de Aventuras, que la serie está bien pero en comic flojea bastante.
Sin embargo, lo bueno que tiene esta serie es que al no tener una continuidad argumental, que los capítulos de la serie de animación son autoconclusivos y no tienen una subtrama, no se hace tan raro leer una adaptación como esta.
Aun así, el hecho de que en cada capitulo o sketch cambien de dibujante siendo en algunos completamente diferente a lo mostrado en los dibujos animados, desconcierta bastante y rompe el rito de la serie. Aunque en las cover variants me parece acertado la visión de otros autores.
En general es un comic destinado a los muy (pero que muy) fans de la serie y si quieres ver más historias de Mordacai, Rigby y sus colegas del parque.

Me encantó mucho, las historias son muy graciosas y fieles al programa. Y los dibujos están super lindos, con las expresiones y todo me hicieron reír tanto como en el programa.
No pensé que iba a quedar tan genial en una novela gráfica está historia, tampoco tenía grandes expectativas en si fue una compra impulsiva, pero me encantó mucho esta forma de ver o leer uno de los programas de CN que me gustan mucho. No puedo decir mucho porque es cortito, además que tienen que leerlo. Porque las ilustraciones lo expresan mejor que yo con palabras, también en algunas partes no tenían casi nada de diálogo porque uno mismo viendo la ilustración ya se imaginaba pila de cosas en esas situaciones, retorcidas y extrañas que se meten nuestros protagonistas tan cool 😎

I decided to use Comixology Unlimited to read several graphic novels that I was hesitant to purchase. As a fan of the show I thought I would give this a read.
The art style differs by issue, but overall captures the look and feel of the stories. This is essentially a quick read which provides stories for the fans of the TV show. The stories have humor and capture some elements of the series. However, if you have never watched the show, you probably won't enjoy it as much.

It Was Okay, But It Had A Lot Of Good Planned Out Stories.
Most Of The Graphics Were Very Detailed And Were Well Drawn Out.
I Liked Mostly All Of The Stories.
I Just Wish There Was A Little Bit More Entries In The Book.
Other Than That An Amazing Comic Of The Cartoon Network Cartoon Regular Show!
(And It Had An Entree Of Covers Which I Thought Was A Waste Of Time But They Still Looked Really Good!) 📚

As a person who likes cartoons, this was the perfect choice! I watched the Regular Show on TV when I was a kid and it was really fun to be able to have that TV time transfer to reading. This graphic novel would be perfect for students that maybe don't enjoy reading all that much, but are glued to their screens. Super fun book!
This also has some really cool art that might be inspiring to artists in the classroom!

I'm a huge fan of Regular Show. The stories in Volume 1 were fine but the artwork on a number of the issues left a lot to be desired. I get that with several different teams working on each issue consistency would be difficult but there were several times when the character in the book looked nothing like they do in the show.

The single most influential tv series (to me, of course) in comic book form! So much fun.
