Wicked Epic Adventures

This book was so cute! It's filled with short stories of the adventures of Wallace and his friends Spud and Amelia (along with his mom and dad). The illustrations are filled with good clean fun and humor and allow you to stay interested in the story. I think this book is perfect for ages 10-13, and it caters well to that demographic. I would definitely recommend it to all of my mom friends!

I loved the traditional comic strip feel of this book. The characters connect much like the more traditional “Calvin and Hobbes” comic strips I grew up with. As a mom of some silly boys this book is perfect to grab and take one page at a time to discuss together without feeling committed to getting through a large chunk of book all at once.

A lighthearted, imaginative collection of colorful adventures featuring Wallace The Brave in the spirit of Calvin & Hobbes.

Starts out with a laugh out loud on the very first page. I haven't laughed so much with a comic since classic Calvin and Hobbes. Wallace is hilarious and sardonic with an outlandish fantastical mind.

A collection of comics about a group of friends with really wild imaginations, living in a coastal town and getting into all kinds of troubles. I haven't read any of the previous collections, but I've read some comics from the same author with these characters on comics websites before. This collection is better than the ones I've read online.

The art is cute and even though I found the humor just okay in some of them, it was overall, a very good collection. Funny and suitable for children and a good palate cleanser for adults.

I thank Netgalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for the digital ARC.

Okay, this was seriously hilarious. Like, I'm not sure I even knew what the plot was half the time other than the kids being silly and random and pranking each other or just causing general mayhem, but the one-liners were so funny that I was giggling every other page. It's very situational, with the kids doing something ill-advised every couple of pages.

It's a great set of comics if you're looking for a good laugh!

This books was absolutely fantastic. I've been seeing the author's comics on Instagram so I didn't hesitate to read the book.

I love the art style, it's not your typical "clean" art, which makes it so much more interesting.

I snort-laughed with every other comic in this collection and I found myself relating to the characters more than once.

The friendship between Wallace and Spud is great, Wallace pushes Spud to to do things out of his comfort zone but never pushes too far. Spud on the other hand stops Wallace from going through with the VERY stupid ideas. He unfortunately can't stop him from going through with regular stupid ideas.

This is definitely a collection one can go back to whenever one needs a pick-me-up.

Wallace is quickly becoming one of my favorite comics. All his adventures all so relatable. You either were this kid or you knew this kid growing up. I am eagerly anticipating new adventures.

I would like to thank NetGalley, the author, and the publisher for providing me with a copy of this ebook.

I love LOVE Wallace, his friends, and Snug Harbor. I have been looking for good and heartwarming comics after Calvin in Hobbes and this comes the closest. I adored the illustration style and I am going to get my hands on all the Wallace books.

As someone with a very...Wallace like child, I enjoyed this book. I could see her doing most of the things (she also has a very vivid imagination) that happen in this book. A nice collection of strips from Snug Harbor that take place throughout most of the year. They play in the ocean, hide in the woods, go to school, and just do what a lot of normal kids do. I really enjoyed it!

I have read and reviewed two other books by this author and this collection felt as good, if not better than the others.

Wallace and his friends lead simple lives with some lofty ideas at times. They live in a small town, with limited people who make appearances ( seagulls, and one in particular also participate). Since the previous collection, his parents have become less tired and both of Wallace’s parents show more of their daily life this time around. I still enjoyed Spud’s paranoia and random musings of Wallace’s as well as Sterling’s intrusions into the narrative. The pattern is similar to the last two visits but it still felt new and fresh. Theirs is a simple life and once I started I kept going, chuckling to myself till I set it down after having turned the last page (metaphorically, I had a digi-copy)

I received an ARC thanks to NetGalley and my review is entirely based on my reading experience with this and the previous two collections by the same author.

When I see Will Henry's name on a book, I'm always up for whatever is in store. Once more, as in this author/artist's previous work, I encountered colorful pages, clever story points, likeable characters, and an episodic narrative that was attractively illustrated. I recommend Wicked Epic Adventures for a wide range of readers, and can't wait to see what is in store next from Will Henry.

This graphic novel is for anyone who wants to start out finding what everyone loves about them. This is the life of Wallace. What he goes and does with himself and friends throughout the day. You feel like you are right there with him. The illustrations are wonderful and make you feel like you are right there in his daily life. I would recommend this to anyone starting out with graphic novels or just wants to see how a boy lives throughout his day.

Fun and fresh as always, Wicked Epic Adventures certainly lives up to its name in this comic book series. I like how the author/illustrator takes the time to bring out the distinct personalities of each character, emphasizing their differences and bringing the three dimensional aspect to the stories. Highly recommended for readers of every age.

A nice little collection of cartoons, a bit Calvin & Hobbes-like, but still different enough. As with any cartoon, it'll have to be the art that sells it, and the art here is very good.

Can't say every gag made me laugh, but most made me smile, and a couple are quite exquisite.

3.5 stars

Wallace the Brave is quickly becoming one of my favorite comic strips.

The strip features the adventures of a boy growing up in a seaside town whose life revolves around school, his family, friends, and his expansive imagination.

Though more of a make-you-smile than a laugh-out-loud strip, I consider Wallace to have successfully joined the ranks of Calvin and Hobbes, Foxtrot, and Cul de Sac as one of the best comics depicting an American childhood.

This title will be available March 23rd. Thanks to NetGalley, and the publisher for this delightful sneak peek.

That you to Will Henry and Net Galley for giving me an ARC to read in exchange for an honest review.

This book is hilarious. Very reminiscent of Calvin & Hobbes whom I miss very much.

I teach creative writing and this book is perfect to teach how to use the imagination. The unexpectedness of children's thinking is so much fun!

While Will Henry’s Wallace the Brave comics can be found on Instagram for nearly daily enjoyment, there is nothing like being able to spend pages in the town of Snug Harbor. The ink and watercolor art style is soothing, and the humor will leave you with both aching sides and a smile that will last for days. A perfect choice for those who hold fond memories of Calvin and Hobbes close to their heart.

Thank you to NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for this advanced copy which I received in return for an honest review.

This comic felt like Calvin and Hobbes meets Big Nate. The humor is irreverent and geared toward upper elementary. The humor was weird but weird in the way that kid humor is. I think readers of Big Nate will really enjoy this book.

A collection of a comic year of adventures with Wallace, his family, his best buds Spud and Amelia.

I absolutely love how Wallace’s mom and dad respond to his and his little brother’s misadventures. Wallace’s teacher is also pretty great. The things Will Henry dreams up for Wallace, Spud, and Amelia to get up to are endlessly creative and had me laughing all the way through. Highly recommended to any age reader looking for a laugh.

No content issues.

I received an ARC of this title from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I love the art style — it is both cute and beautiful.

This is a Wallace the Brave collection, which I didn’t realize when I requested it. But it’s very easy to pick it up without knowing Wallace as a character.

It’s very Calvin and Hobbes and Peanuts esque. Most little stories are told in one page, and they’re both slice-of-life and fantastical and weird. Not all of them are funny, but I did at least chuckle a bunch of times. A lot of kids will love this.

I loved the comedies of the two young men, Wallace and his partner, with their father. It seems like those adventures that young people have to enjoy their childhood as they want it. I don't know whether to put four stars or five

A great continuation in this funny graphic novel series! These books are great for a laugh and good to hand to a reluctant reader any time.

What a fun, classic newspaper comic. It's a mashup of Peanuts, Calvin and Hobbes, Nate the Great, and Gasoline Alley, taking the best arts of the fun and whimsy and craziness and heart from each of its sources. The main trio of kids is well developed and endearing and (rare for a newspaper comic) the adults are compelling and three dimensional and funny as well. I'm looking forward to reading this one with my kids.

Full review to be posted soonish.

I would like to thank the publisher and netgalley for providing me a free copy in exchange for an honest review.

A great tale of Wallace the Brave. The art style is wonderful and so much fun to read. I love the friendship between Wallace and Spud and all the whimsical and exciting adventures they go on. Highly recommend!
