Jump #18

Jump #18 — "Het brein van Brains" — brings Charel Cambré's energetic series to a gloriously messy boil. The cover says it all: a group of wide-eyed kids crowds around a bubbling, slime-spewing brain mounted in a bizarre mechanical contraption fitted with treads and a television-screen head, green goo splattering everywhere in spectacular fashion. It's the kind of chaotic, wonderfully gross visual that makes this Belgian all-ages series such a treat for readers of all ages in 2014.
