3.5
Adorable and fun story that features teleporting Lockjaw called on a mission that will involve checking in on his siblings as he comes closer to confronting the big bad. Along the way he picks up D-Man who is pretty much hitting rock bottom and a morose mess after his break up with his boyfriend, and who is the perfect character vehicle for the reader, as he stumbles along in some bewilderment in this adventure that Lockjaw has got him caught up in - starting with being attacked by talking hamsters in saucers and leading to dimension hopping and acting as a emotional support human to Lockjaw. Of course among all this there is some good old fashioned comic book fighting - it just occasionally happens to be mixed with some entertaining silly premises.
The 3.5 rating is because, while overall this was a graphic novel that held my attention and had some definite moments where the humour sparkled, it was not tight all the way through and the concept could stretch a bit thin in places. However, the majority of the Lockjaw's story was definitely a very good, good boy story. And the absolute icing on the cake was one of the wee mini stories at the end: Wolverines and Lockjaw's story and the planet of kittens, just melted my heart and made me grin my face off at the same time. Shared it with a friend afterwards and he made all the delighted grin expressions too.
