Banana Sunday [Jun. 16th, 2006|10:12 am] Banana Sunday  By Root Nibot (writer) & Colleen Coover (artist) Kirby Steinberg is having a bit of trouble fitting into her new school. Sure, there's the usual interest/antagonism associated with being from "somewhere else," but THIS time the new kid also happens to be the guardian for three monkeys. Talking monkeys. Through the miracles of science they have all gained the power of speech. Or have they? What's their REAL story? That's what Nickels, Kirby's new best friend and dedicated school reporter, intends to find out! Review: "This charming paperback collects four issues of Nibot and Coover's delightful comic book series, Banana Sunday. The story is brisk entertainment, not so dissimilar from Archie comics but with a decidedly hip, contemporary edge. Coover is a fine cartoonist — she has a light touch and a pretty line. Her characters have a full range of emotion, but retain a sense of elegance. Her work elevates what could have been a mostly silly story into an affecting, well-crafted comic. While clearly aimed at adults and kids, it might be teenagers looking for a solid, fun comic who get the most out of this. High school, monkeys and romance make an excellent combination."  --Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.) link post comment
