A review by gohawks
Joe the Barbarian by Grant Morrison

3.0

So there are plenty of stories out there, especially written by Grant Morrison, about alternate realities. But this is a fun concept. A diabetic kid going through a hypoglycemic episode during a major storm imagines himself a medieval warrior against forces of evil which includes his toys. Only problem with this 8 issue series gathered in graphic novel form? At least two issues too long. It gets repetitive. But the art is fun with a hard edge to it. Sprinkled throughout the panels are the boys toys as soldiers in his world - Batman, Optimus Prime etc. OVerall, almost four stars. Just needed to be a bit shorter to trim the fat.
