Costume Quest: Invasion of the Candy Snatchers by Zac Gorman

Hot on the heels of the freshly announced video game COSTUME QUEST 2, Oni Press presents an adorable Halloween-themed graphic novel from Double Fine Productions (BROKE AGE, PSYCHONAUTS) and comics superstar Zac Gorman (MAGIC GAME TIME)! Klem and his pals aren't the most popular Grubbins in candy-starved Repugia, but Klem's hoping that will change once he brings a hoard of candy back from the human world. After all, it's Halloween, so there's candy everywhere! Unfortunately, there're also bullies everywhere, ready to steal all of Klem's sweet, sweet loot. Will he and his friends make it out alive, or are they doomed to an eternity of sugar-free torment?

Halloween is around the corner and Klem wants to party with the cool monsters. Monsters love candies so he and his friends, Sellie and Brolo jumped into a portal to the human world to get some treats as tickets to the party. Throughout their quest, they got a lot of candies and encountered bullies while searching for Brolo who was lost among the humans. They also met new friends.

This is a fun story and it gets me in the mood for Halloween.  I really like the fact that even if the target audience are children, I had a great time. The story didn't feel too juvenile and the humor worked for me. I also love the character design. It's wacky without being too cutesy. I want to have stuff toys of these ugly+kawaii  monsters. 

This graphic novel is something both children and adults who love cute monsters can enjoy. Highly recommended! 

P.S.

I like the cover.

I received a copy of Costume Quest: Invasion of the Candy Snatchers from Oni Press via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
