Score:

★★★★☆ (4/5)

QUICK REVIEW: LEGO has diversified so much that it's created a multi-media entertainment juggernaut beyond toys with winning books and animation. In its first collaboration with Skybound, the All-New LEGO NINJAGO Comic Book Series is an all-ages adventure that's exciting, approachable, and fun to read.

Tri Vuong conjures up a deep dive into Ninjago lore with a focus on Garmadon. His backstory is covered in the beginning allowing new readers like me to get caught up. The salty Garmadon is roped into a helping a village under attack and while it offers this well-worn plotline, Vuong infuses it with enough energy and charm to make it fresh and entertaining.

LEGO NINJAGO: GARMADON #1 is a delightful new adventure series created for new and old fans of all ages.

Score: ★★★★1/2 (4.5/5) There are certain comic book creators whose books I'll pick up without hesitation. One of those creators is Jeff Lemire.

Two years later, the USA responded with two monkeys, Able and Baker. These animals never returned. But, unbeknownst to everyone, they did not die in orbit...they were taken.
