Half-sized minicomic preview of Matt Aucoin's webcomic of the same title. This book presents sketches and writeups of the characters and unusual creatures that populate the world of Percy and Grimm. The characters and critters get stranger as the book progresses, eventually reaching Ethan the Enchanted Piece of Grass, and the ominous Gumdrop King. One character has a "licking problem". Another has a tendency to get bitten by things. The character designs are creative, and there's enough fantasy flavor to provide some familiarity with enough weirdness to keep the book from seeming derivative. There's no plot in this minicomic, but it was enough to get me curious as to what is going to happen when all of these oddball characters get together.

Rating: 7/10
