While most of the uneducated in the world believe that comics are a children’s medium, there have been very few new good kid books that can be enjoyed by both children and adults. This comic’s main character, Little Mad Skillz is a five year old black girl, who is in charge of writing wrongs and keeping justice prevalent for the children of her neighborhood. Her parents were both Champions of the Children and her older brother Junior Raw was also a Champion. Little Mad Skillz, her superpowered friends and her brother have their work cut out for them keeping the playground safe. I really enjoyed this book. It has great imagination, and it doesn’t talk down to you. I think that’s very important in a children’s book. This book has characters that have superpowers, but are still children. I think that the superhero genre is missing a book that has characters that are children and act like children. It gives kids characters that they can relate to and pretend to be like. The sibling rivalry and bickering in the book is sharply done and avoids being annoying. It’s a great book for children, and it’s an entertaining book for adults. I definitely think someone should get on the horn with Santa Claus and tell him that there’s a great new stocking stuffer he needs to look into, this book. The art in this book while black and white has great depth due to an innovative use of grayscale. The art fits perfectly with the stories. These guys are good you should go to their webpage and check out what they have up there, and pass the link onto Santa while you’re at it. http://www.ghostwerkscomics.com/index.html Additionally look forward in the upcoming months to an interview with Michael Lagocki.
