At the risk of an overused pun, Greek mythology is well, Greek to me. I know somewhere there’s a pillar of salt, a hydra, Hercules and Aquaman is in there somewhere, I think. Mini Myths is a new board book series of the classic Greek myths re-imagined as modern stories for toddlers. The words on these preschool books are big, the concepts are simple and the art will draw in young readers aged 1-4.

By now you know that we’re fans of Guardians of the Galaxy. We’re not purist fans that are true to the characters that originated back in the day. We’ve been following them since issue #1 of the re-boot comic- not that I’m pretending to be a purist or uber fan by pointing that out or anything. We were sent the Guardians of the Galaxy Milano Spaceship to play with, possibly review and imagine ourselves as Star-Lord, Rocket or Groot.

Big Blastin’ Rocket Raccoon is 10” of smack talking genetically modified plastic raccoon that moves when his gun fires. Press his leg or the button on this gun and his torso will shake forward while the gun lights up. This is a fun toy-and our kids love playing with it, but there is something about it that blurs my line between an action figure and collectible.

A month ago I said that I was going to get only one of the new Guardians of the Galaxy spin off titles. Star Lord was a good start and I them made some comments about Rocket Raccoon looking too weird and not really our style. Hello crow, I’ll have a second helping, thank you very much. Later that same week we bought Rocket Raccoon #1 and immediately couldn’t wait for #2 to come out. It’s very fun series that captures the humor of the characters while being OK for relatively young readers.

I don’t read Simpsons Comics every month. I know Matt Groening and Bongo Comics would love for me to, but I have to draw my comic budget somewhere. The reason that I picked up Simpsons Illustrated #12 is that A. It’s The Simpsons and B. It’s much thicker than the monthly book for only $1 more. I’m glad that I got Simpsons Illustrated #12 because it is really funny and a bit different than the regular comic.

Art is relative, but you know it when you see it don’t you? What I think is art could be totally different from what you like.

I am not just saying that Guardians of the Galaxy is the best comic book out there now simply because of the movie coming out. I tried to embrace Green Lantern prior to that movie, but the story and movie just didn’t hold my attention. I have high hopes for the Guardians movie and have been reading this incarnation of the comic book since it came out last year. Guardians of the Galaxy #16 continues with the team in shambles, spread out across the galaxy, trying to fight out of their situations and get back together.
