Herobear and the Kid: Volume 1: The Inheritanceby Mike Kunkel
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Herobear and the kid. A nostalgic view of childhood, complete with new schools, bullies, true love, imagination, superheroes, and...a magic bear.
After his grandfather passes away, young Tyler inherits an old stuffed toy bear and a broken pocket watch. He soon learns that things aren't what they seem, and that you shouldn't judge a bear by its cover. Come remember your childhood, as Tyler remembers his. Review:"Much like Jeff Smith's Bone, Herobear and the Kid is a comic which can be equally enjoyed by kids and adults....If you're looking for something different, something that works on many levels, then I highly recommend Herobear and the Kid....Mike Kunkel has created a series which is a standout among today's comic marketplace. With a charm and character all its own, Herobear and the Kid serves as a perfect example of a comic with a heart." Wesley Craig Green, ComicWorldNews.com Review:"Kunkel's irreverent but sketchy style [stands] out as unlike anything else that we see in comics. The unfinished quality of his style works surprisingly well. It's as though he invites the reader into the creative process while nevertheless telling an enveloping story. The exaggerated detail in his work is impressive, and I still haven't tired of the flash of the one color element: Herobear's cape." Don MacPherson, TheFourthRail.com Review:"One doesn't need to go much more beyond the first page of Mike Kunkel's Herobear and the Kid to fall in love with this story. It has that one quality that doesn't come around very often — it's timeless." Joe Quesada, editor-in-chief of Marvel Comics Review:"Mike Kunkel's Herobear and the Kid is definitely a 'from-the-heart-feel-good' experience that made me feel like a kid all over again, and remember how great my childhood was." Chuck Gordon, producer of Field of Dreams, The Rocketeer, and October Sky Review:"Kunkel's experience in animation shines through every page — not only in the style of the renderings, but in the pacing and action sequences. In short, a treasure. A treat." R.C. Harvey, The Comics Journal and www.RCHarvey.com Review:"Kunkel's strengths as an artist are equally matched by his talent as a writer. Herobear is easy enough to follow for kids, smart enough for the mature comic fan, yet action-packed enough for the traditionalists — all due to Kunkel's greatest strength...characterization." Casey Seijas, staff writer for Wired Magazine Synopsis:This is the first collection of Eisner and Ignatz Award-nominated series Herobear & the Kid by creator Mike Kunkel.
