Reviews

[Quentin Wallace]

My reviews of the Simpsons graphic novels are all pretty much the same. The art is house style, which is to look as close as the show animation as possible. It may be interesting to see different art styles used on the Simpsons, but really the familiarity of the show animation works. Also, while some of the stories are better than others, it's very much like the show in that some episodes are better than others.

Overall if you're a Simpsons fan that likes comics even slightly, you'll probably enjoy any of the Simpsons graphic novels.

Review-
All of the stories (too many to make a coherent summary) are very fitting for the Simpson's universe, minus The Return Of Truckasaurus. The artwork is perfect to the show, and the dialogue is also great. You get some wacky and cool adventures a longtime fan like myself love and look forward to. I can't wait to read the next one in my collection!

Trying times call for distractions. There's just about no better distraction to me than a comic book. But some comics still hit a little too close to home. Thankfully, that's not been the case with Bongo Comics' various titles based on beloved Simpsons characters.

In this collection of stories from the Bart Simpsons line, the spiky-haired dude gets into a bunch of hairy situations. My favorites included the resurrection of Truck-a-saurus, a hilarious tree house caper involving Milhouse, Ralph and an ancient text and the various stories devoted to that masked protector of Springfield, Bartman! The Professor Frink short was charming and that story in which Mrs Krabappel is forced to move in with the Simpsons was funny too. Unfortunately, I can't recall any other stories.

I seem to think that there was a Comic Book Guy adventure and one or two stories devoted to Itchy and Scratchy. But I can't remember.

Sadly, I didn't find myself laughing out loud that much. I don't think it's because I hated this book. I'm more afraid that the whole Coronavius thing has permeated everyday life so much, that my Ha-Ha distraction ended up being more Hoo-Hum.

Another funny comics book: the ten-inator is particularly wonderful :D One flew over the retirement castle is unexpectedly surprising :) The Return of Truckasaurus is strange!

A compilation of "Bart Simpson'" comic book issues. I have a few of these Simpsons Comics books and I'll be doing reviews of a few more, but this one is pretty good but not great. Some stories Homer creating a hamburger for a contest, Bartman defeating Dr. Colossus in a aging battle, Bart getting expelled, Mrs. Krabappel living with Bart and a bunch more scenerios featuring Bart. Some of the stories end in a way too cutesy to be given a Simpsons trademark but nonetheless it's still a pretty good graphic novel of one of my favorite TV characters.

Kids LOVE the Simpsons comics. Still. It's pretty amazing. This one was quick and light, and I think it's safe to assume that this is representative of all of them. But, the humor, for me, fell. Most of the jokes were just tired plays on the stereotypical natures of the characters (Homer's dumb and eats a lot, Bart is a deliquent, Lisa's a smartypants) but without any of the smart and witty nature of the show.

I have never been really into the show, but for some reason the comics appeal to me. Must be the bold colour and simple stories, though I will say that the authors manage to stay true to the voice of the show. Obviously not great literature, but you have to be at least a little cultured to understand the joke references, right?

[Joseph Young]

Enjoyable blend of short Simpsons stories that actually seem to be well contained, with more than just one-liners, using situational humor without feeling too contrived. There is a slightly longer story to end the book, which seems more like an episode. There are few unimpressive spots, but overall the consistency is pretty good, and much better than most adapted comics.

[Neko]

This round of Bart Simpson comics put into this trade weren't all that good or funny. Yes, this comic is really aimed a children but I usually get a giggle from it sometime but this wasn't the case with this collection at all. The last comic which featured Bartman I found to be really dull.
