I did like the fact the houses were all build on poles (I guess because the water can rise at any moment?). The map was a nice addition, though I feel it could have been more detailed. We see enough parts of it, but until the map at the end I never could connect all these parts together in one picture. I would have loved to see more of the town the characters lived in. Wallace and his imagination, oh good lord, that kid should write books/make comics. The parents were great, they were fun, interesting. I was happy to see that his brother was a weirdo, but not an annoying weirdo, like so many other little brothers are in books/comics. The characters were pretty decent, I especially liked Wallace and his family.

I love both those comics, but to see someone try to combine them and make something new? It just didn’t fit. The art was definitely C&H, the story was a mixture of Peanuts and C&H.

And I so did want to finish this one, plus I had hopes that this one would get better (spoiler: no).Īlso this just felt like Peanuts x Calvin and Hobbes. I got to page 40 and then I was already already looking at the page count and dreading the fact I still had 140+ pages to go before I was finished. But sadly, it was also terribly boring, and it tried just a bit too hard to be funny, and failing at that. There were good moments, oh yes, there were.

The blurb and the cover did shout: “Read this book!” So I obliged, though I wish I hadn’t. I never heard of Wallace the Brave, but I was curious when I spotted this book over on Netgalley. I received this book from Netgalley in exchange of an honest review.
