A testament to this book is that if you were to remove all the dialogue and text, you would still be able to understand almost everything happening and all the associated emotions for each member of the Great Warrior's party. This fact is what, in my opinion, cements the title as a fantastic all-ages comic, though I'll be the first to admit that I'll gladly pick up the next issue as an adult. Read Full Review

While I wasn't previously aware of Flores' web comic prior to reading this issue, I'm itching to learn more about these characters. Help Us! Great Warrior #1 ends on a bit of a cliffhanger, so I'm excited to see where the Great Warrior goes next. This is a great read for anyone who wants a fast paced, cheeky cast of characters with plenty of attitude and humor to go around. Read Full Review

Help Us! Great Warrior is one of those comics for people who just like entertaining comics. It shows that you don't need to always be dark and gritty to make good comics. Boom! Box has really cornered this market when it comes to creator-owned series. Help Us! Great Warrior is another title that helps take the negative connotation off the label of “all ages”.

"Help Us! Great Warrior" #1 a great start to an all-ages comic. Its irony and adult-pleasing subversive humor are reminiscent of "Shrek" and other reworked fairy tales, while Great Warrior is cute and heroic enough in her own way to get any reader invested. Read Full Review

The art is adorable. There's no other word for it. It's cartoonish and cute, which seems to be a perquisite for Boom Box titles. However, this cuteness is still brought over to the monsters. Yeah, Buckets looks pretty vicious, but at heart, he's just a big overgrown dog" With sharp pointy teeth and red eyes. Trillian Gunn's colouring is excellent. She adds a sense of urgency to the fight scenes, whilst still maintaining a pastel sweet palette. Gunn's use of a rainbow palette is super fun, and I love the way she colours Hadiyah and GW herself.

If youre a fan of adventure and magical girls, Help Us! Great Warrior may be your kind of book. The plot is one every fantasy fan has read before, but the characters that populate the universe created by Flores and Gunn are absolute cuties and never feel like one note in the short time we get to spend with them. The soft and rounded style and silly and touching humor added in with that make this book an absolute treat for the eyes and soul. Give it a look if you have a little warrior in your life or just need to get in touch with your inner one. Read Full Review

Help Us! Great Warrior doesn't have the strongest start if you're already a fan of the webcomic, but it does have a lot of promise. Comic strips and comic books are two very different things, and so a full-length book doesn't have quite the same punch to it that a strip does in setting up and delivering on a joke. That said, the book does have a lot of jokes, and while not all of them are Flores's best material with the character, they're still entertaining. Even better is the promise of seeing more of the world and characters, all of whom are fun, interesting, and worth exploring. This comic is worth reading, and it's nice to have another humorous and original female-lead comic on the shelves now. Help Us! Great Warrior is advertised as a "girl power" comic, and while the message may not be traditionally delivered, it's there. Read Full Review

Right now comics are in the midst of a turnover where women are finally getting the spotlight both as comic creators and characters in books. While work that offers complex portrayals of women is necessary, I also think comics like Help Us! Great Warrior have a great role to play in increasing the visibility of female comic book writers. An entirely female cast so far, Help Us! Great Warrior's loose premise and humorous tone add greater dimension and variety to the type of work women in comics can be regarded for. Not since Julie Wertz's Fart Party have I been this excited for a comic predominantly featuring body functions. Read Full Review
