I received a free ARC of this book from NetGalley for an unbiased opinion.

Brantz's comics are quick and adorable, and for me completely relatable. This book is definitely getting recommended to my friends as a pick me up and giggle book. From illustrations based on daily life to dating life to social interactions, she's included it all.

Destined to be a classic
I have never been a fan of Stephen King's works until I read the Dark Tower comics and now that I have read the book I am not surprised why he is a great writer.

Hilarious mystery!
I picked this book up from Newbury Comics... because come on I HAD to. I didn't expect it to actually be good! It has an enthralling story/mystery, and it has good humor!

"Full disclosure: I was the acquiring editor of this book for Pantheon, and back in 1999 I pitched it to the Random House sales force as ‘The “Ulysses” of comics.’ I think that description holds up just fine 18 years and just as many re-printings later."

Nickelodeon Pandemonium #1 by Eric Esquivel, Stefan Petrucha is a quirky comic that early teen readers will enjoy. This book was a quick and easy read. The book is full of puns, jokes, silliness and action. In this book the reader is given 12 different comics. Before the comic this is a short biography interview of some of the authors and illustrators. This book will be entertaining to readers to like comedy and graphic novels.

I give this book 4/5 stars.
I received this book from Papercutz via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

I have not read a lot of comics. I did get very into Valerian and Laureline and the new Labyrinth comic, but both I got into because of already being a fan of the story from the movie versions. Getting into this media, both of my brother (avid comic book readers) each suggested some comics for me. My younger brother suggested saga. I really enjoyed reading it. I found the story, style, voice, magic, and characters to all work great. I will continue reading this series soon!

A huge thanks to the author for sending me this book for an honest review through Netgalley.

I started read this book with no knowledge about the background of comics, especially for Canada. I have always loved comics, but never really read anything that speaks behind the scenes of how it started, what is the philosophy behind it.

I expected this book to teach me a lot of new things, and help me see the world in a different point of view, and I wasn’t disappointing at all. This is not a book that will deprive you from your sleep at night – in fact, it is one of those books where you read to learn, and it might seem boring at times, but that is only because it is full with information at all times. Wonderful read.

I received this book from Netgalley and I'm so happy that I did.

This book was so relatable and adorable at the same time. I think everyone will be able to get something from this collection of comics. The artwork is cute and the comic strips are great. We all have those moments in life that our heart and brain do not cooperate. This book shows those moments.

This book will have you bookmarking pages that you know describe you. If you're on the fence, just get it. You're heart and brain will thank you for it!

Love it
I own 3 Kindle Fires & one Kindle book reader. They all work perfectly & easily. My only complaint is the batteries on the Fires take forever to charge & run out fairly quickly. They are great for games & digital comics. The reader has hundreds of books on it & the batteries last a very very long time.
  
No new comics you can't find in the other collections, but it does contain some of the best from this comic strip. And Bill Watterson's commentary on the strips is priceless for die hard fans of the classic.
