About the author

Hi, I'm Ryan! I was born in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada in 1980 and since then have written several books. You can read my Wikipedia page for more, or check out my author site at RyanNorth.ca!

I'm the author of the webcomic Dinosaur Comics (that's the comic where the pictures don't change but the words do, it's better than it sounds and I've also done crazy things like turn Shakespeare into a choose-your-own-path adventure, write a comic for Marvel about a girl with all the powers of a squirrel, or mess up walking my dog so badly it made the news.

I'm working on more stuff as we speak, hopefully it's good

I can say that there were once piles of these volumes sitting around the house, and (I just checked) three we purchased are still on the shelves (though some might still be under beds, under couches, I don't know). I read this because I am a fan of Michael DeForge's alt-comix and these weird little squiggly characters he seems to endlessly spin out of his head just basically for the hell of it, but I saw again when I recently reviewed his last book, Leaving Richard's Valley, that DeForge had logged in more than six years working for the Adventure Time comics group, and so I thought I would just have a taste of what he did there.

And I was not disappointed. DeForge's piece, "Bacon Fields" is pretty funny. There's a female character that wears bacon in her hair, and there's that field of bacon. Just because! Okay, nothing much going on here, but I began to appreciate the sort of endlessly juvenile appeal he might have to not just sophisticate hipsters but all ages. I saw how DeForge and Ryan North (The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl, which I thought was all right) might be linked in some ways of goofiness. North authors much of this issue I found it mildly entertaining.

So this would obviously be 2 stars for me but because my kids don't review here and they like it a lot still and because I am not the primary audience for it and it is widely popular still, I give it another star, so there.

The comic books starts to hit their stride here. The Lich is out and an usefull tool becomes a horrible weapon. Characterization and jokes are tighter than earlier issues.

The most action-packed one so far.

An interesting solution, one problem solved and another one arrives. B & C stories are entertaining enough as well.

the story arc this time was alright, not much happened over 12~ pages. the side-stories were alright too, one was pretty good.
