What a disturbing little book.
Seriously. The book isn't being cute on the back when it talks about madness and murder. Some major stuff goes down in its pages and I was severely unprepared for it. Sure, there's plenty of cute and funny moments to distract you, and the book has charm spilling out of all its panels, but Egg Story makes sure never to let you get too comfy before it's back to business.

The cutest, most entertaining comic book I've ever read. It is silly, cute, sad, dramatic -- great for a quick, entertaining read. But don't open it unless you have a sense of humor!!

This story takes you on a ride for some laughs with a stressed cracking egg, to a ninja egg and an egg that’s in love. Not everyone makes it in this free world. What a great silly book to get the kids creatively thinki...more

This was one of the most bizarre graphic novels I've read in a long time. Ths story of a half dozen sentient farm fresh eggs, escaping from a refrigerator, with the lead "good egg" deciding to become a ninja. (Ninja egg, yes that's weird!) I'm sure this is allegory and I'm sure everyone under 18 gets it. Or people on drugs get it.
I found the author's biography far more interesting; he is a fan of the movie "Sirens" (in fact that is what inspired him) which is one of my very favorite movies.
