Comics Squad #2

Comics Squad: Lunch! brings together an impressive roster of kids' comics talent — Jarrett J. Krosoczka, Peanuts, Jeffrey Brown, CeCe Bell, Nathan Hale, Jennifer L. Holm & Matthew Holm, Jason Shiga, Cecil Castellucci & Sara Varon, and more — all united around the deliciously chaotic theme of lunch. The cover says it all: Snoopy in a chef's hat brandishes a pan, a sword-wielding Robin Hood mouse faces off in one panel, a grumpy gorilla growls in a suit, two wide-eyed kids look utterly bewildered at their meal, and an anxious slice of bread goes running — it's a wonderfully absurd parade of food-related mayhem. Edited by the creators of Babymouse and Lunch Lady, this 2016 anthology is a genuinely fun all-ages gathering that proves lunchtime has never been so entertainingly weird.
