While Greg’s positive about the move, he’s not completely uncaring about Rowley’s action.
#Starfall reviews Patch
Left with only enough inheritance to patch and repair the exterior of the house-and with the school’s dismal standardized test scores as a final straw-Greg’s mom steers the family toward moving, opening up house-hunting and house-selling storylines (and devastating loyal Rowley, who doesn’t want to lose his best friend). Once the professionals are brought in, the problems keep getting worse: angry neighbors, terrifying problems in walls, and-most serious-civil permitting issues that put the kibosh on what work’s been done. Before bringing in the construction crew, the Heffleys attempt to do minor maintenance and repairs themselves-during which Greg fails at the work in various slapstick scenes. Greg’s mom calls a family meeting to determine what to do with their share, proposing home improvements and then overruling the family’s cartoonish wish lists and instead pushing for an addition to the kitchen. When Great Aunt Reba dies, she leaves some money to the family. The Heffley family’s house undergoes a disastrous attempt at home improvement. Despite this, with its propulsive momentum, episodic feel, and high-octane battles, this reads like a Saturday-morning cartoon brought to life. Although the action rockets along, his narrative occasionally falters as it moves awkwardly between past (signaled by a muting of the palette) and present. Loosely based around the animals of the Chinese zodiac, Torres' tale is nonstop action that propels both a race against time and the struggle between light and dark: tropes that should resonate with comics fans. Torres, a quietly prolific writer with a sizable oeuvre of comic adaptations of animated shows, truly demonstrates his strength for pacing and timing.
Will the warriors defeat their leporine foes and save their ailing master? Vibrantly colored by Laiho and organized into neat panels, Howell's art is expressive and kinetic. The stars are the remains of a celestial blue dragon, whose place Master Long should have filled, and without their light a legion of evil bunnies has emerged from the moon also seeking the powerful fallen luminaries. In Gaya, a world populated by anthropomorphic animals, dying dragon Master Long calls for his 11 warriors to join in a quest to bring him fallen stars that he hopes will cure him. Animal warriors band together to fight a faction of evil moon bunnies.
