Emily the Strange finally has her own comic book series! After years of enjoying excellent merchandise revolving around Emily and her four kitties, yet mediocre books, Cosmic Debris and Dark Horse Comics have finally put out the beginnings of a decent comic book series inviting those willing into Emily's strange world.
Issue 1, "the Boring Issue," describes Emily's boredom and what she does with such time on her hands. With Miles, Mystery, Nee Chee, and Sabbath in tow, Emily sets out to find the cure for the common doldrums by doing things such as building odd devices, distributing strange sauce to her classmates, and playing croquet in a graveyard. Also included in this volume is a twisted take on Cinderella, in Emily's Scarytale Theater.
The artwork found herein is just as one would expect if you're at all familiar with any other Emily products, with lots of intriguing detail. The entire comic is done in black, white, gray, and red (with the occasional pink thrown in for good measure). Also included are two pages of Emily stickers.
My only complaint is that the comic is quite short, somewhat disjointed, and Emily's sarcastic, dry, witty comments seem kept to a minimum. However, that is the nature of comic books, as well as previous entries to Emily's short book collection. The artwork alone is still worth the cover price.
