Yet again we are talking about another comic book in the “Monster Me” comic book series. I gotta admit here that Ive already read a few comic book in this series and I start getting tired of this series. So after I read this comic book I decided to put this series on hold for awhile. Without making the introduction longer than it needs to be lets get in the review of this comic book.

The story in this comic book is of course about the protagonist of this series, facing new challenges tied to the metaphor of body chemistry and transformation. Which was okay for the most part. But I gotta admit here that this comic book gotta be the weakest comic book in this whole series in my opinion of course.

The narrative of this comic book feels very scattered and at the same time it lacks cohesion in a way. Because it jumps back and forward in the storyline which made me very confused while reading this comic book. 

At the same time some of the plot points in this comic book felt very underdeveloped and unexplored because at times the plot points were very shallow and it didn’t go into details of this plot points but barely mentioning them.

The characters in this comic book is still relatable as in the previous comic book in this series I talked about in the past. But in a way his character development stoped in this comic book, because he didn’t seem to improve as a character or grow as a character since the previous comic book I’ve read in this series. 

The side characters in this comic book just the same as in the previous books I’ve read in this series. Which means that the side characters add some humor and charm to the storyline of this comic book. But the side characters are still largely one-dimensional and without any personalities which would make them standout for themselves. 

Overall the characters in this book (and in the whole series in general) feel very superficial, missing opportunities for deeper emotional engagement. Because of how flat and shallow they seem.

The artwork in this comic book is very good because it is vibrant and colorful. The artwork also captures the whimsical nature of the storyline which takes place in this comic book. 

However the artwork at times feel very clustered and distracting from the the storyline of this comic book. And the artwork as good as it is, it still doesn’t compensate for the story’s shortcomings. 

This comic book gives us the themes of self-discovery and change. But I gotta admit here that those themes feel very unexplored and somehow underdeveloped. 

I Give This Book 2 / 5
