Sergio Aragones' the Groo Odyssey

It all makes for an exciting Groo Odyssey from the award-winning duo of Sergio Aragons and Mark Evanier.'

Customer Reviews

Graphic SF Reader

Ah, 'The Mendicants'. Or, 'The Singular of Which You Should Not Call Goo If You Want To Live Very Much Longer On This Earth. Here, Groo even causes long distance carnage, as the stress of him is felt from a distance. Much sword waving and going red and almost-swearing to be found in this volume of barbarian frivolity and hilarity.

Silliness and Mayhem

My third-grade son recently got into the Groo graphic novels and has read several of them. This book is very funny. There's an undertone of serious commentary on the human condition (my son was oblivious to this, of course). Too violent for really young children or the squeamish. If you've got an older kid or a teenager around your house who doesn't much like to read, you might try them on this.
