  Weekly Comic Book Review - Matt Sargeson

  Nov 02, 2012

  I've been a fan of Monkey Brain Comics digital-only releases since their major push into the market in July through the trusty Comixology app. While they release some enjoyable on-goings like Edison Rex and Masks and Mobsters, one-shots like Kurt Busiek and Steve Lieber's Thoughts on a Winter Morning and now Smith and Ellis'The Stars Below make for some exceptionally well-crafted tales that lie a little off the beaten path. At 99 cents (all profit from which goes to charity The Hero Initiative throughout the month of November) you really can't go wrong. A beautifully illustrated fable that is sure to a spark a sense of wonder in children and adults alike, The Stars Below is a brief but worthy chapter in the annuls of Great Animal Comics and undoubtedly the first (maybe the last?) to make a hero out of a Pigeon.
