  Comic Book Therapy - Cody "The Thorverine" Ferrell

  Jun 13, 2013

  Go to Comixology and buy this right now. I've read a lot of great stories on Comixology's Submit releases, but this is easily in the top three. I usually get a lot wordier in reviews, but it's hard to talk about this without spoiling the twist. Go read it and come back and tell me how right I was. There's a teaser for a new story, and I can't wait to read it. 5/5 Read Full Review

  Given the fact the mystery at the heart of the plot revolves around stolen dentures, I was a bit puzzled as to why McNamara and Ekedal play things a little on the serious side at times. Sure, Oscar's plight is a tragic one, but it seems this book should be about the joy he gets from flexing his intellect, from fooling the adults around him, from living. I don't thing danger or threats really have a place in this sort of story. I'd rather it was a little cuter, casting off the slightly gritty tone that creeps into the storytelling at times.
