I began readin the Complete Peanuts book one today. This is fantastic. So much I have never read, you slowly see the evolution of the characters from what they were to what we know and love. Charlie Brown was a little prankster in the begining and it wasn’t until a little while intot he strip that he got his famous zig zag striped shirt. We start out with Patty and Shermy and Charlie and Snoopy, later we are introduced to Violet and baby Schroder. I also liked the foreword by Garrison Keillor.

The new comic book is out for the Transformers animated movie. It is a new comic done by new artists but it re-tells the animated movie from 1986. I think they should have worked a little harder on it. Now don’t get me wrong the art is fantastic and it is great to see a new book bringing a resurgence of interest in the movie, but they could have at least gotten the dialogue right. I read chapter one this morning and there are so many errors. Characters saying lines of other characters. One character even addresses himself because he has the wrong dialogue. I would have thought that more care would have been taken to make a quality book.
