This was a direct sequel to the previous comic where Groo gets the All Powerful Amulet and makes very bad choices with it, despite the Sage desperately trying to help him NOT make bad wishes. I laughed so hard at this that Mrs B told me to just give this 5stars. She was right.
I’m including the three pages that I found the most amusing. Even thinking about them right now makes me grin and a chuckle begin to well up.
The rapid fire change just goes boom, boom, boom and for it to end with the wizard being turned into Groo is just priceless. I don’t know why, but man, it totally struck my funny bone.
It all works out in the end with the Amulet ceasing to exist. I think Aragones had stretched out the story for all it was worth and I applaud him for knowing when to end a joke.
★★★★★
From Bookstooge
Groo’s adventure with The Amulet continues. He continues to make ill-informed wishes and eventually Arba and Dakarba wish the Amulet to themselves. They in turn torment a wizard by turning him into various animals and then into Groo. Groo regrets some of his wishes and goes on a quest to recover the Amulet and make good. He does and in a fit of total stupidity, wishes that the Amulet didn’t exist. It ceases to exist much to everyone’s relief!
