review:

'Bad Machinery #2: The Case of The Good Boy' is a strangely named volume since there are no bad machines (though this is the name of the webcomic), and I'm not sure what the case might be referring to. What you will find, is a charming collection of hilarious characters that live in a world where occasional strange things could happen.



There is a series of disappearances and a strange large beast lurking in the woods. There is a magic pencil at a fair that must be won. Apparently whatever is drawn with the pencil comes true. When Mildred draws a strange picture of a dog, it seemingly shows up at her house. Combine a strange new pet, a series of mysterious disappearances, young love, and some really funny dialogue and you have a quirky, fun story.



John Allison's writing is fun. It took me a few pages to get into the rhythm of the dialogue, I really enjoyed it.



I was given a review copy of this graphic novel by Diamond Book Distributors and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this fun graphic novel.
