Dinosaurs and Fairies

Got a couple more good graphic novels in today:

Cameron and His Dinosaurs by Scott Christian Sava is really cool. Basically, an evil genius creates intelligent dinosaurs, but they don't want to work for him. (I giggled at the T-Rex telling the mad scientist to "seek professional help".) Instead, they make friends with a boy named Cameron. Meanwhile, the scientist still has to produce some dinosaurs for his more evil backers (bear in mind, some of this is firmly tongue in cheek). There's a lovely dino-vs-robot-dino battle, and all's well that ends well. Man, I hope there are sequels, though. This was great--no blood, just mashed metal, and the closest thing to sex was hand-holding (by adults). (IDW did a great job with the binding, too.)

Korgi, Book 1, by Christian Slade, is good in different ways. It's a sweet story about a "mollie" girl named Ivy and her korgie (a kind of dog/fox), Sprout. Aside from the introduction and a bit at the end describing some of the characters, the black-and-white story is wordless. Some of the monsters are scary, but Ivy and Sprout always come out right. I ordered this one after I read Book 2, actually, and wanted to add to the collection. BTW, mollies look like little people, but have wings. (More good binding, this time by Top Shelf.)
