Patrick's Reviews > The Boy Who Crashed to Earth

Despite the fact that I'm a big fan of Winick, I didn't know about this series at all until I stumbled onto it at NYCC.

I bought it and brought it home to my boys. But I read it first, partly to make sure it was something I wanted to pass along to them, but also because I wanted to read it.

It's fun, and both my boys love it. Part of me was hoping there would be echoes of Barry Ween in it, given the similarities in character design. But that's where the similarity stops.

And that's good news and bad news. Bad for me, as I loved Barry Ween as much as I've ever loved any comic ever. But good for my boys, as it means this is a for-real kids comic and I could enthusiastically hand it over to them without worrying about burning our their innocent young minds.

In conclusion: Fun comic. Great for kids. As an adult it held my attention, too....
