Huge blinking neon caveat: I am not the target audience for this comic. I've played Plants vs. Zombies a few times but I tend to get bored with most of those kinds of games after a couple of months. I doubt many non-players will pick this up, and I normally wouldn't bother, but I needed something to read and my second grader left it in the car.
And it was okay! Funny enough, with humor in the same vein as The Powerpuff Girls, I think. It's a silly story with easy-to-follow plot and panels, and the art's great, a good match for the story. It helps to know a little about how Plants vs. Zombies (the game) works but I think most kids who have an interest in the story but haven't played the game would be able to catch on.
So only two stars for me because it's not really my thing, but if my seven-year-old were rating this -- based on the time she's put into reading it and the number of lines she's had to read aloud because she thought they were so funny -- I think the stars would be way higher.
