Minions #1

The cover of this 2015 Dupuis album says it all: a lone, wide-eyed Minion clutching a banana charges toward us in a panic while an enormous, chaotic horde of his yellow brethren — armed with plungers, gadgets, and all manner of mischief — surges behind him in a gloriously overcrowded stampede. Subtitled Banana!, this first volume written by Didier Ah-Koon and drawn by Renaud Collin channels the anarchic energy of the beloved characters into a European comics format that feels perfectly suited to their brand of gleeful mayhem.
