'Angry Birds Comics Volume 1: Welcome to the Flock' proved two things to me. First, you can make a decent comic out of characters from an app, and second, that Paul Tobin can write anything, and he does it well.The birds are trying to protect their eggs. The pigs are trying to steal the eggs. The birds fly over to the pigs village to keep the pigs from having time to steal the eggs. That's pretty much the premise of the game. The pigs are pretty dumb, but some of the birds are too. When Bomb Bird gets the hiccups, he keeps blowing up anything around himself. Another story has the pigs trying to brainwash the birds with candy and propaganda to make them doubt each other. My favorite might have been the pigs building a theme park that had a lot in common with a certain California based theme park. There are other stories. There is even, I think, a flip comic that runs along the bottom pages of the book, but in a review electronic copy, it's a bit hard to flip the pages fast enough.It's all perfectly great fun for kids, which is great, since I learned how to play the game from my, then, 4 year old niece. Rather than being one-note like the game, it felt more like the old Coyote/Roadrunner cartoons. I hope there are more. This was fun.I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Diamond Book Distributors, IDW Publishing and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this fun graphic novel. (less)
Thatâs right, the game 90% of people play while on the crapper has become a comic â and a surprisingly decent one too!IDW have gone about the potentially godawful enterprise of adapting Angry Birds the game into a comic by hiring two excellent writers, Jeff Parker (Batman â66) and Paul Tobin (Bandette), both of whom have created some wonderful all-ages comics (particularly Tobinâs Marvel Heroes work).Together they craft some short and simple stories for the Angry Birds to have while the Pigs try to steal their eggs. An elaborate theme park, Piggyland, keeps the Birds occupied while the Pigs raid their nests; candy and cartoons attempt to subvert the Birdsâ friendships; a weather machine takes on the Birds; and fashion grips the Pigs as the search for the best wig is on!These are comics aimed at younger readers AND itâs based on a video game so expect the most straightforward, uncomplicated stories with the simplest characterisations. Theyâre very broad comics that Iâm sure the target audience of kids will like â older readers though? Ehhhhhh, no!That said, I read this out of curiosity to see how exactly Angry Birds becomes a comic at all, given that thereâs absolutely no narrative in the game, and I think Parker and Tobin did a fine job building what they did out of what little they had. And itâs certainly more readable than Tobinâs other game-related comic, the coma-inducing Plants Vs Zombies: Lawnmageddon.Is it an amazing comic? No, itâs Angry Birds, it was never going to be amazing! But itâs also not terrible either and fans of the game, especially younger readers, will find an ok collection of short comics in this volume.
My son is OBSESSED with these books. He loves them and I love them because he doesn't enjoy reading anything but these books. THey are actually surprisingly funny too and I enjoy reading them to him when he wants me to.
My 7 year old is a HUGE Angry Birds fan and he absolutely LOVES this book! We've already ordered volume 2 and pre-ordered volume 3. He's had us read it to him, he's been reading it to himself and he's even sat down and drawn some of the illustrations from the comics. I highly recommend this for any kids in your family that are Angry Birds fans.
My 4 year old is an emerging reader and rampant Angry Birds fan. Theset Angry Birds Comic books are his go-to bedtime book and inspire him to grow as a reader so someday he can read them himself.
I love angry birds, but I should have known that this book would cater to kids. Most of the comics are still funny, but some only elicited a roll-the-eyes half-smile. Art is good!
My grandson loved it. He can't wait for the next one.
This is so much fun. Great art, great story
