Title: Road Trip
Series: Bone #14
Author: Jeff Smith
Rating: 3 of 5 Stars
Genre: Comics
Pages: 25
Words: 1K



This had just enough comedy to keep things from getting too dark, but between the massive storm, the rat creatures attacking Lucius, Smiley and Phoney and Fone and Thorn comparing their dreams, this was probably the darkest part of the story so far. It has fully leaned into its “epic fantasy” storyline and I think the standalone community stories are done.


It's tough to tell if I thought this was so much better or if I'm just over-correcting for the previous 13.5 non-story comic. Either way, I was happy to have read this issue and I think Smith is doing a good job of juggling everything without letting things smash into the ground.


★★★☆☆
