review:
'Mickey Mouse: The Mysterious Crystal Ball' is a fun Mickey Mouse story that feels like a classic one.

When Mickey goes to a carnival, he meets a strange fortune teller who seems to know a lot about the future. In reality, he's in league with criminals and trying to get Mickey to mislead the cops away from crime scenes. One step ahead of Mickey is famous detective Shamrock Bones.

Backup stories feature Goofy and his pet crow, Ellsworth. There is a story about Mickey getting involved with some missing explorers, and one featuring Mickey with his nephews. A special treat is a one page story from 1933 called The W'angler featuring Mickey getting creative in catching a fish.

I loved the art in the main story by Andrea Castellan. I liked the art in most of the rest of the material. Some feels a little uneven and out of line with the rest of the art, but it's all ok. The stories feel like the books I read as a kid, and I think today's kids might enjoy these stories.

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