Milo #3

The third volume of Milo arrives from Standaard Uitgeverij with a cover that puts the sport front and center — a determined blonde girl leaps to shoot a basketball while two boys and a second girl crowd the court around her, all caught mid-play in Steve Van Bael's clean, expressive linework. Writer Nico De Braeckeleer and artist Steve Van Bael bring plenty of competitive energy to "Starstruck," and the intensity on each player's face suggests the stakes on the court are anything but casual. A fun, sporty Belgian comic that feels welcoming to readers of all ages.
