Review: Bone, Vol, 1: Out from Boneville

Bone, Vol, 1: Out from Boneville by Jeff Smith
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is delightful. The Bones are cute, funny, and a tad crude. The three that we get to see in this book were kicked out of their home town, which gets explained later in the book, and set out to explore the world. There are some pretty big sidetracks as they try to come up with a plan to return to their home safely.

I thought the supporting characters were all enjoyable too. The big thing about this book is that it gets to show off the world. There are a bunch of locations and characters that become the focus as our hero travels along. Eventually, the Bones get pulled into the situations they stumble into as they try to work it to their advantage.

The art is simplistic maybe? The characters are much more rounded and not as detailed as other books. That style works for the story though. It seems to match the mindset of our hero. This series is one that I would gladly continue.
