review:
'Banana Sunday' by Paul Toin and Colleen Coover with art by Rian Sygh is a fun story about a normal young woman and her three extraordinary primates.

Kirby Steinberg is going to a new school and she announces it on a Sunday. The reason she does is because of her three talking primates. Chuck is an orangutan and whip-smart. Knobby is a spider-monkey who is in love with love thanks to the love poems he has read. Go-Go the gorilla is small, kind of simple, and indestructible.

Kirby meets a new friend, a reporter named Nickels who wants to know the story behind Kirby's friends. Kirby also makes a new enemy in Skye, the school snob who is out to smear Kirby's name. Can Kirby survive her first week at her new school?

It's an early collaboration from Tobin and Coover, and it's not as good as others. It's still kind of fun, as long as you don't scratch the surface too much. If you do, there are things that don't seem to work so well. I liked the art too. It's bright and the lines are clean.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Oni Press and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
