The Fellowship was fortunate enough to obtain a copy of 4 KIDS WALK INTO A BANK #1 from Black Mask Studios. Matthew Rosenberg writes, Tyler
Boss draws and colors, and Thomas Mauer letters.
Paige and her friends are kind of the outcasts of their
school. They’re all twelve, and they’re into board and roleplaying games, and
they’re not very social. And when four obvious thugs show up at her house,
Paige stands them off. Later she figures out how to track them down, and boy,
is she surprised to see who they’re having lunch with.
I think a lot of us can relate to the awkwardness of Paige
and her friends (I sure can). But it comes across as endearing and funny, which
is a testament to the clever writing in this book. It’s also hilarious how
these kids manage to really screw with a group of hardened criminals. And I
love how the art makes use of really small panels to add more story to the
story.
There is a lot going on in this book, and that’s totally a
compliment. And there’s a strong sense of reality here, even during moments of
unreasonable bravery. This book is going to be a winner.
