I'm doing two reading challenges this year. One is the diversify your reading challenge, which I had previously posted about. The other is in a facebook group I'm a part of. I wasn't going to do posts like this for that second challenge, but then I realized I may as well. Writing these is kind of fun and makes me think a little. Anyways, lol...
January's theme was a book you were gifted over the holidays. I didn't get a lot of books this time around, and I definitely picked this one out for myself, but it worked. I read Scrooge's Quest, a Ducktales comic by Marv Wolfman and drawn by Cosme Quartieri.
This comic is a tie in to the 1987 Ducktales series, and it's really consistent in tone with that show. It was a fun little adventure and honestly the art was gorgeous. A lot of reviewers on Goodreads marked it down basically for not being Carl Bark, but it isn't trying to be. It isn't claiming to be. There's a lot of heart here and a lot of fun, even a few laughs. I enjoyed it! More thoughts here, in my Goodreads review.
I read this book between January 14th and 18th. Quick read, but I wasn't spending a lot of time on it (because I was doing other things, not because I didn't want to).
Would I recommend this? If you like 1987 Ducktales and/or Duck comics, yes. It's not Barks or Rosa, but that doesn't make it trash.
