review:
'Tim'rous Beastie' is a graphic novel edited by Amanda Lafrenais. The stories are about animals that must find bravery in strange circumstances. The title is taken from a poem by Robert Burns called 'To a Mouse, on Turning Up in Her Nest With the Plough.' This poem is used as an inspiration for the stories.

The stories range all over the place. Some are funny. Many are more frightening. There is a mouse in a tea tin in the ocean who is rescued by a seagull. There is a pig being lowered into hell. There is a society run by mice that forces frogs to fight against toads in the gladiator arena. Some stories take place after men are gone. Some are on the edges of societies with men.

The art styles as well as the writing vary. There are stories I didn't like that much, but with 18 stories, it's easy enough to find something likeable.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Iron Circus Comics in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
