“Mwumba: Preview” By Bruce Brown & Lizzy Brown & Eduardo Savid Review

10-Page Preview! Mwumba is the story of a little girl named Cassandra; the ruler of the jungle Mwumba. Everything in Cassandra’s world centers on her, and that’s just the way she likes it! For the first time, a mysterious monster has come into her jungle and is not only breaking sacred Mwumban law by eating vegetables, but worse yet, is taking all of the attention that rightfully belongs to her!

Let me start this review by saying that this one is just a preview for the entire comic book. And I read it because I wanted to see if the full comic book was worth the money and time I would spend on it. And I’m gonna give you the answer for that at the end of this review.

This preview introduces us to the imaginative world of Mwumba, a place filled with creativity and charm. Which I found to be very interesting and fun to read.

The concept of this preview is delightful, capturing the essence of a whimsical adventure. Which made me give this preview some extra point for doing. 

The storyline of this preview is engaging, but it has a lot of moments where the story goes down heal. Because of how introductory it feels at times which didn’t help with me wanting to read the full version of this comic book. Because it left me wanting more depth and more details. 

The characters in this preview are introduced to us with personality and potential. But the personality aspect here is pretty weak, we see the glimpses of the characters’s personalities but its not like the personality aspect is always presented for the characters. 

The main character in this preview is pretty likable and has hints of a rich inner world and motivations. And easily the main character is my favorite character in this preview.

When it comes to the side characters in this preview they show some glimpses of them having something which would make them standout. But for the most part the side characters feel pretty one-dimensional and flat

The artwork in this comic book is pretty vibrant and lively which was my favorite thing about this comic book. Because of how perfectly the artwork is complementing the playful tone of the narrative.

The artwork in this preview bring the whimsical world to life, enhancing the overall appeal. And in a way it had drawn me into the charming setting of this preview.

This preview tries to give us the themes of imagination, adventure, and self-discovery. Those themes are present in this preview, but at times those themes feel pretty underdeveloped at times and those themes aren’t fully explored as I wanted them to be. But at the same time those themes offer us both entertainment and substance.

So will buy and read the full version of this comic book ? Yes I will. It might take some time for me to actually read the full version of this comic book because I have been way too optimistic when creating my TBR list for this year and I don’t know if I get the time to read the full version of this comic book this year. But I will read the full version of this comic book at some point in time.

I Give This Book 3 / 5
