This Free Comic Book Day collection of all-ages friendly comics previews six different titles. First up is Roboy Red in a story where two siblings are debating the existence of the rogue robot title character. The older sister is so fixated on her opinion that Roboy Red is merely a "suburban myth" that she's oblivious to the actual battle that Roboy Red is fighting overhead. This was a bit predictable, but worth a couple of smiles.
There are two Patrick the Wolf Boy stoties here, which are both basically gag strips.
The Dreamland Chronicles is an epic high fantasy that evokes Peter Pan and the like. There are two scenes in the seven pages that appear here, which could have been better connected. This looked like a well-developed fantasy world with some fun characters.
Bananna-Tail is a humorous story about a monkey dream sequence that quickly turns into a nightmare.
Finally, ostrich Tybyrd Fearlessness tries to get himself a meal in spite of being flat broke. Like the other comedy pieces, this was pretty formulaic, but I liked a lot of the jokes along the way.
I was really impressed by the general attitude of this collection as it celebrated comics for all ages of readers.
Rating: 6.5/10
