Customer Reviews

Great introduction to characters

I've enjoyed the individual issues of the comic book since day one, but suffered through long, L O N G waits between issues. As a collected volume, the story makes much more sense and the beauty of the art can be better appreciated. We are introduced to charming, imaginative characters whose storylines aren't completely wrapped up in the final chapter, promising further adventures. Unlike a previous reviewer, I don't consider the extra, "behind-the-scenes" artwork to be "bad news." Like my favorite DVDs, this collection of extras enhances my enjoyment and makes me feel like I'm in on the creative process. Buy the book. You can't go wrong with a polar bear in a red cape.

What Comics SHOULD Be!

This is the Comic book that more comics should aspire to be about! Mike Kunkel has really created a deep, personal and beautiful adventure that made me feel like a kid again reading it. As a lover of animation, the Penciled, sketchy style just sucked me in and kept everything moving across the page. The story is exciting, hilarious and thrilling all at the same time. I LOVE Herobear, and even though I bought all of the individual issues when they came out, I LOVE this collection. The Sketckbook pages are wonderful and really give readers a fantastic peak inside the creative process.

One of my favorite comics ever.

Herobear and the kid is a great, nostialgic book. I cannot reccomend it highly enough to anyone, from a parent who wants to give their child some good wholesome fun, to a jaded cynic who might need to remember their childhood (and pass it on).

Herobear is Magical

You?re ten years old. And your best friend is a bear. It?s not just any bear, mind you. It?s a stuffed toy bear that can magically transform into the stupendous superhero, Herobear. And he?s not only your best friend, he?s your ticket to exciting adventures. Throw in the fact that you have to prepare for having a secret, superhero identity, and still make it to school on time, and you begin to understand the complexities of Tyler?s life ? ?the kid? in Herobear and the kid.Mike Kunkel?s wondrous look into the life of an average boy (average for someone with a magic bear) is one of the best things to come along in a long while. Kunkel?s unique style (it?s almost like cartoons on paper) and his well-crafted stories and characters will have you reading ? and re-reading ? this collection many times over and for many years to come.

Truly inspiring...

Created by ex-Disney animator, Mike Kunkel, award winning Herobear and the Kid is the perfect bedtime story for children and adults alike. It's a simple tale of a boy and his best friend. Only this best friend is a polar bear who can fly. The story will move you, the artwork will inspire you, and the characters will live in your hearts forever.
