Overall, Id recommend Rainbow Brite #1 to any child or adult who has nostalgia in their hearts. Its an empowering story for young girls, and girls of color as Willow herself is a black girl, that I feel would be welcomed with open arms and hearts by the targeted demographic. Rainbow Brite is the sort of story we need to bring in new readers, and to invite children to fall in love with the source content like many of their parents did at their age, and thats a bonding experience that stays with you for a lifetime. A fun, humorous and adventurous epic, Rainbow Brite is going to be a wonderful success for Dynamite Comics and the creative team behind it. It goes on sale October 3, so try not to miss it at your LCS! Read Full Review

I do hope the stories get a little deeper than "Oh no, Murky and Lurky are sapping the colors from that field of daisies!" But I expect Whitley has plenty of ideas to explore, and for a first issue I wholeheartedly recommend Dynamite's RAINBOW BRITE to the all-ages readers market. Read Full Review
