They're back! The Strangers of Paradise gang returns in their first all-new, full-color story since 2007 - as 6 year olds! Francine and Katchoo comb the neighborhood for a missing peanut butter and jelly sandwich, but Darcy bribes Tambi to find it first and every suspect reeks of PB&J. Meanwhile, the mysterious "Kissing Bandit" seems unusually fixated on Francine, and Casey launches an all-out attack on David's "No Girls" treehouse. Features colors by Steve Hamaker (colorist on the bestselling Bone color editions produced by Scholastic Books' Graphix line)!
SIP Kids allows Moore to tell more adventures of Francine, Katchoo, David and the crew without being beholden to their past, yet still respectful of it. Katchoo herself exclaims, "REBOOT" in one panel. If all reboots were done in this fashion of fun, humor and heart I think there would be fewer groans across the comic community. Read Full Review
If the reader is familiar with "Strangers in Paradise," "SIP Kids" #1 will be a deeper, funnier and more bittersweet read. It's not a bad debut issue for newbies, but this is really one for the fans, and it hits the mark. Read Full Review
I've read and loved every issue of SiP, and I have no clue what Mr. Moore is going for here. It's neither fun nor funny. It makes me want to go back and read the original SiP and forget about Kids.
