Folded micro-mini. No staples needed.This minicomic features two sentient leaves, along with a mantis, a ladybug, and an aphid named Simon.
Patrick the mantis has bestowed the gift of cosmic powers on Simon, and Simon is preparing to get the leaves drunk on power before eating them.
The biology major in me couldn't help but point out that the ladybug (a carnivore, whose main diet is aphids) should be more interested in eating Simon than in eating the leaves, as was depicted here.
Other than that slight entomological inconsistency, this was pretty amusing. Cosmic-powered bugs acting all civil to each other makes for some good lines.
Rating: 7/10
