Les Pixels #1

Three kids and their small animals come face-to-face with a towering, sharp-toothed black creature on Wasterlain's lively cover for this opening volume — and the young monster hunters look equal parts startled and determined. Les Pixels: Chasseurs de Monstres sets up an adventure-comedy premise with plenty of charm, pitting a spirited trio of children (plus a cat and a little critter) against creatures far bigger than themselves. Published by Mosquito in 2010, it's a fun-looking series opener that should appeal to younger readers and anyone who enjoys their adventures with a dash of cartoon menace.
