I 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.
