Grrreeny #1

Midam's Grrreeny bursts onto the scene with this first volume, subtitled Vert un jour, vert toujours — "Once green, always green" — and the cover sets the tone perfectly: a wild-eyed, spiky green creature strikes a triumphant pose atop a jungle pedestal, flanked by two bewildered, bug-eyed animal companions amid lush tropical foliage. The vibrant yellows and greens pop with cartoon energy, promising the kind of fast-paced, irreverent humor that MAD Fabrik delivered so well in 2012. If you enjoy anarchic animal comedy with a splash of jungle adventure, this one looks like a very good time.
