BOB’S BURGERS #1 Review

Do comic translate well from television shows? Especially if they are comedies? Read on to find out more.

A new series from the hit TV show “Bob’s Burgers,” created by Loren Bouchard! All right! The very first Bob’s Burgers comic book, a new series from the creator of the hit TV show, created by Loren Bouchard! Now you can read about the Belcher family (parents Bob and Linda, and their children Tina, Gene and Louise) in brand-new in-canon stories created by the TV show’s producers, writers and animators creating all original stories appearing exclusively in this comics series. Each comic includes hilarious installments of: “Louise’s Unsolved Mysteries,” “Tina’s Erotic Friend Fiction,” “A Gene Belcher Original Musical,” “Letters Written by Linda” and “Bob’s Burgers of the Day.” Bob’s Burgers is an American animated sitcom that airs on Fox television with other hits such as The Simpsons and Family Guy!

Dynamite Entertainment has something pretty special with the new series, “Bob Burgers” based on the hit television show. At first you might be thinking that it is silly to make a comic book based on an animated show, I know that I was, but you will be pleasantly surprised by this comic. The comic is split up into five parts, each one taken on by different writers and artists. The stories deal with individual characters and their own quirkyness. The writers, includes, Rachel Hastings, Mike Olsen, Justin Hook, Jeff Drake, and art by Frank Forte, Brad Rader, Bernard Derriman, Tony Gennaro , Liza Epps , Tyler Garrison , Kimball Shirley ,Anthony Aguinaldo , Hector Reynoso . If you like “Erotic Friend Fiction”, musicals, and unsolved mysteries it is a must read. 

The appeal of this comic is that it is very similar to the television show. The humor is witty, fun, weird, and just plain hilarious. It really works as a comic. The artists take the words and run with them. They add their own style and mix to the stories, while maintaining the look and feel of the television show. It is a feat that is not done easily but they all do it flawlessly.

Bob’s Burgers #1 is a great start to fun series base on a hit television show.
