Comic Review: Animal Jam #1 (Dynamite)

From the creators of the online world comes issue one of animal jam and it’s the perfect companion.

We get two stories featuring a moral tale about peer pressure and a little ancient Greek history, not what you would expect from a comic aimed at little kids. The peer pressure tale teaches us that it’s ok not to bow to it and we don’t have to do dangerous or stupid things to be liked and also a little touch on karma as the bullies get their comeuppance and Cosmo gets a serious reward for his kindness.

The Greek history is the classic Trojan horse tale or in this case Trojan elephant. Cosmo, Peck, and Greely are exploring new depths of the forest for phantom activity and they come across a carved elephant so take it home to study and *spoiler* its full of phantoms! The trio do end up saving the day and clearing up their own mess and readers get a little taster of some Greek myths so all good.

The characters are all really cool and have their own quirks and the morals are nice but not cheesy or too sickeningly obvious, its a nice little comic to go along with the online world
