WHAT IT'S ABOUT: Ever try to wrangle an illiterate, 30-foot tall rock monster away from his 5-year-old best friend? Or calm down a 400 pound muscle-man rag-doll during her daily temper-tantrum? For Dave and Terry, it's all in a day's work. As agents for I.M.A.G.I.N.E., they are responsible for keeping your imaginary friends in-line ... Little do they know that six-year-old Elli more
After reading this issue I am eager to see what Joines and Bachan come up with next, in terms of both plot and crazy awesome new figments, as the book quickly established itself as one of the most unique, imaginative books on the racks. Even though most of the issue was devoted to introducing characters and establishing the rules of the world, IMAGINE Agents #1was a great read that can be enjoyed by the entire family, and is one of the most entertaining debut issues of the year. If you remember what it was like to be a kid, and still hold onto the memories of having an imaginary friend that you wished was real then this book is for you. If you have a kid who enjoys comic books then this book is for both of you. Finally, if you are just looking for a fun comic book then this book is for you. Read Full Review

In "Imagine Agents", the men in black go from place to place managing the imaginary friends and impossible creatures that seem to exist only in the minds of children. What lies behind that deceptively simple concept is a story that can go from being goofy and over-the-top on one page, to breaking your heart on the next page. Read Full Review
Still the overall package is enjoyable. Imagine Agents is a nice surprise and is further proof that the comic book industry could use more all ages books. Read Full Review
I.M.A.G.I.N.E. Agents #1 started weak, looking like a M.I.B. clone, but threw in enough original ideas to make it stand on its own. Brian Jones has created a book with fun, humor and childlike innocence that comes with imaginary friends. Add on wonderful art by Bachan, Ruth Redmond's coloring and you get a standout comic. It's another great book from Boom! Studios that provides a nice alternative to guys and gals in tights. As long as the original ideas continue, and the M.I.B. similarities fade, I'll be sticking around. Read Full Review
