The ultimate princess is here from writer Kelly Thompson (Mighty Morphin Power Pink, Jem and the Holograms) and Disney artist Brianne Drouhard! During Princess Maxine’s 10th birthday, her fairy godmother grants her the gifts of EVERY fairy tale princess, which…sounds a lot cooler than it actually is, in Max’s opinion. She doesn’t want to sing on key or feel a pea under 20 mattresses—she wants to be a detective! At least the power to talk to animals is cool, but her pony Justine is downright saucy. They don’t get along. When her little brother, Prince Robert VI (better known as Baby Bobs), goes missing, Max and Justine are on the case, and her new Mega Princess powers just might come in handy after all!
KELLY THOMPSON has a degree in Sequential Art from The Savannah College of Art & Design. Her love of comics and superheroes have compelled her since she first discovered them as a teenager. Currently living in Portland, Oregon with her boyfriend and the two brilliant cats that run their lives, you can find Kelly all over the Internet where she is generally well liked, except where she's detested.
Kelly has published two novels - THE GIRL WHO WOULD BE KING (2012) and STORYKILLER (2014) and the graphic novel HEART IN A BOX from Dark Horse Comics (2015). She's currently writing ROGUE & GAMBIT, HAWKEYE, and PHASMA for Marvel Comics and GHOSTBUSTERS for IDW. Other major credits include: A-Force, Captain Marvel & The Carol Corps, Jem and The Holograms, Misfits, Power Rangers Pink, and the creator-owned mini-series Mega Princess.
Kelly's ambitions are eclipsed only by her desire to exist entirely in pajamas. Fortunately pajamas and writers go hand in hand (most of the time). Please buy all her stuff so that she can buy (and wear) more pajamas.
Extremely cute! This comic is the story of a princess named Max who wants to be a detective, not a princess. She's accompanied by her rude, sassy pony and her punk rocker Fairy God Mother. The humor is hilarious, the characters are extremely likable and the art is beautiful.
Adorable and funny. Max gets a visit from her fairy godmother except Max isn't thrilled with the extra princess stuff she's given because she just wants to be a detective! Snarky horse included!
I had a really hard time getting through this book - however, I can see how it could become a hit for some kids. I felt the story was insipid, the adult dense and the illustrations too My Little Pony.
I like to read something more childish, occasionally. And I'm glad this was in bundle I bought because I giggle here and there. Nice jump from murders and robots - I know, but it is relaxing, funny.
