I think this is the volume that I've most enjoyed. It's full of quirky jokes and totally crazy plots, but there are some massive typos and misspellings that annoyed the H out of me. There's no excuse for a book to have so many errors. Even the character's names were misspelled at least once. It might be an attempt at "a cute, little kid is writing this", but I hated it and it marred what would have otherwise been a fantastic read.
This series cracks me up every time. It's so outrageously funny. But excuse me? Where was PLUM?? She wasn't in this whole volume... not happy about that!
The part that I didn't really like was when Impossibear pushes Catbug out of the way to do his own drawing tutorial. I did like that it's about heroes, smooching, and fighting. My favorite character is Catbug because they're just so cute! The part that I think is funny is when they're at a magic show for a kid's birthday and Danny pulls a giant gun out of his hat. Also I love the kid in the background who can't talk, but he puts up signs and that's how he talks.
Would really like to see more character development for Plum, but maybe that's happening in the show instead of the comics. I really enjoyed the discussion of which group of Bravest Warriors was the evil one.
This is a nice collection of shorter stories. Comeau's writing in the comics series continues to tie in well with the show. I am so in love with Catbug I can't even put it into words. The story where Catbug draws the Bravest Warriors is pure gold.
This volume is a definite step back from the previous, primarily because there's no overarching story; each issue is its own standalone adventure, ostensibly focused on one member of the team for each issue. They're okay, but not great; the Die Hard take-off doesn't really go anywhere, Beth's hunt for smooches just goes off in a weird direction, and the Chess Blitz tournament is better in concept than execution. Wallow's story is at least mildly funny and goes off the rails in a humorous, if predictable way. Some of the shorts are okay, but nothing as memorable as the previous volume. This is one I'd say fans won't mind reading, but it definitely doesn't warrant picking up for non-fans.
This was my favorite volume so far. Unlike the first two which were longer, more involved stories, this volume was more a collection of shorter stories. This kept the humor more dense and that lead to it being funnier. I'm still giving this three stars, but it's probably more like three and a half stars if I could do half stars.
After two great volumes I this one didn't really click with me. The stand-alone stories presented here lacked the depth and call-backs that made the previous volumes work so well rather than relying totaly on the one-line type comedy.
A few of the shorts were quite good but overall this was a set of mildy humerious but ultimatly totally forgetable stories.
Surely less thematic than the previous volumes as in there is no bigger threat or a solid plot, these are nonetheless great and funny stories that flesh out the characters. As usual, the additional extra comics are fantastic and hilarious! Recommended!
