Children's Literature
Stone Rabbit and his best friend, Andy, have a knack for falling into bizarre adventures, when they are not wasting time loafing around reading comics or insulting each other. So when their genius friend Judy creates a device that can turn any book into an alternate reality, it is inevitable that Andy would accidentally drop one of his comic books into the machine and transport his friends into a superhero world. The good news is that Andy and his friends are all superheroes, complete with costumes and cool powers. The bad news is that they have to fight an entire legion of super villainswho all want to corrupt Andy by playing on his insecurities. While earlier "Stone Rabbit" graphic novels like Pirate Palooza relied on non-stop hyperactive action to entertain readers, Superhero Stampede actually has a tight plot and several entertaining superhero parodiesAndy's Batman-esque identity of "Moneybags" is particularly funny. Overall it is a fun, fast read that can provide diversionary entertainment for both kids and older superhero fans. Reviewer: Michael Jung
