review:
'Bob's Burgers Volume 1' collects five issues of the comic book series. I don't watch the show it's based on, so take my review as one not as familiar with the show.

Each issue has a section devoted to one of the characters from the show. Tina gets a section called Erotic Friend Fiction, which has stories about horses or frankenstein (or, in this case, franken-butt). None of them are remotely erotic, but seem to be focused on the rear of a boy that Tina likes. Louise's section is based on unsolved mysteries, like a giant fort out of cardboard boxes or Louis becoming invisible. Gene Belcher gets a section devoted to musicals where everything is supposed to rhyme, but doesn't really. The parents get a bit shorted. Linda is left with a letter that she writes to promote a product or idea that she has, and Bob is left with a page of burger of the day ideas.

The Unsolved Mysteries section worked the best for me. The rest range from occasionally funny to not funny at all. The art was not bad, and the covers were actually pretty great. There's even a cover gallery at the end with alternate art. But good covers don't make for good comics, and that seems to be the case here.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Diamond Book Distributors, Dynamite Entertainment, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
