For the first time in over a decade, Monster High and IDW have partnered to bring out-of-print comics back to unlife for the fandom. Each short story from I Only Have Eye for You by Heather Nuhfer and Kellee Riley is back in a new format for fangs to enjoy. In Shock and Aww!, Invisi Billy wishes he could read Scarah Screams’ mind, but he gets a bit more than he asked for when a shock from Frankie Stein causes them to switch bodies! Billy and Scarah will have to work together, and learn how to control each other’s powers, if they want to switch back in time for the Fraidy Hawkins dance!
It’s a body-swap story with Scarah and Invisi Billy. Billy wanting to use Scarah’s mind-reading ability to find out what all the girls think of the guys, only to find out they do NOT think about boys all the time, was kind of ridiculous but I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s what some high school boys really think. There’s not much of a climax to this story, as it’s kind of just Scarah-as-Billy invisible hijinks and Billy-as-Scarah trying whatever he can to keep the girls from getting suspicious until they can swap bodies again. It ends a little abruptly. Sometimes, I can’t stand the way books try to convey a person’s accent in the text, and this was not an exception. Scarah is Irish but having read as much Shakespeare as I have that is all I could think about reading “‘twas” and and “‘tis”.
