Justice Society of America: Ragnarock, Volume 1 Book

Two word: Cuteness overload. Apparently, Jill Thompson's diminutive editions of Morpheus and Death that first appeared in The Parliament of Rooks had a huge following. I heard that lots of fans demanded to see all the Endless in their "chibi" goodness, and Thompson granted all their wishes in this little storybook.

Obviously it's a kid's book--they didn't even mention Death's name!--so it would be a tad criminal to point out its lack of depth concomitant with the graphic novel series. That also explains the being OOC (out of character) of the Endless save Del herself. The story's rather hackneyed maybe, but it's definitely something that a child would appreciate. I'd say it falls under my umbrella of good bedtime stories, one that I'd read to my future kid when he/she's still too young to understand the standard series. No reason to deprive the future generation of good literature, right? :P

Anyway, the story's about Delirium who thinks she lost her dog--Barnabas--when it truth it's the other way around. A portion of the story reminds me of a book I read back when I was in gradeschool, the one with the owl who's too scared to sleep because there are moving lumps beneath his blanket (it turns out that the lumps are his own feet).

Liked it. :)
