mr_stuffins_1I know, what was I expecting?  I’m a sucker for a good “teddy bear coming to life and running around with a gun” story.  Problem was this one wasn’t good, but it did have a talking teddy bear with a gun.

The story was reminiscent of a bad 80’s kid’s movie.  I predicted almost every moment of this book, as it played out like a bad formula for a straight to VHS movie.  Here’s the plot: a guy has some high tech disc.  Bad guys are chasing him; he runs into a toy store.  He puts the disc in a talking teddy bear, marking the box and hoping to return.  A boy is shopping with his dad and buys the bear.  He gets the bear home and it starts talking about a secret missioon and grabs a gun.  Crazy!!!

The art is better than the story, but that’s not saying much.

I thought Boom! Studios wouldn’t put out something so trite and perceptible.  I assumed that Mr. Stuffins would offer something unique, worthy of $3.99.  See what happens when you assume?  I still like the title and the cover.
