Johnny Monster #1

Johnny Monster shows promise. The first issue has a fistful of monsters, but could have included a little more action and a little less talking reporter. A book dedicated to giant beasts and monster hunters has bought Joshua Williamson a lot of goodwill from this reader, and Ill certainly be back to check out the next issue. And so, a hopeful three bullets for this first issue. I eagerly await more monster battles, monster hunts, and, yes, monster love. If thats not enough for you, dear reader, well take heart, because next issue promises a team-up with one of Images other monster properties, Phil Hesters Firebreather! Woo-hoo! Read Full Review

This book has some charm and a more than a little bit of potential but, for the most part, it is largely forgettable. Unless the second issue has as memorable a cover as this issue (I just checked and Firebreather is on the next cover) then this book might be overlooked. It is nice to see Image reaching out, however, and trying to do some more all-ages-friendly books, between this and "Amber Atoms." If they would just realize "all-ages" doesn't have to rely on predictability. Read Full Review
