Grimlock ♥ Ultra Magnus

Absolutely adorable!   Jeffrey Brown continues to impress me.   His illustrations have a charming simplicity that I can't help but admire, but it's his writing that - once again - really shines for me.   He has a knack of getting to the heart of a complex matter in a few panels, or a page without any panels but with few words, that is humorous, compassionate, and again just completely... charming.

And yes, some of it is funny because it's set in the Star Wars world, but a lot of this would be just as funny in an original context.   Brown understands human nature, and can poke fun at it without coming across as mean.   Instead, he presents things as are, and tries to make the best of the situations.  

I should note that at 160 pages, this isn't very wordy.   It's a quick, light read, but I needed a break from Harry Potter as the size of the Goblet of Fire was about to make me cry.   This was exactly what I was looking for right now, too.  

If there's a sequel, I'll definitely pick it up!
