I can see kids enjoying this as they read comic panels whose story flows well with bright, detailed illustrations that exude a sense of fun and action. There are dinosaurs and aliens, how can this not be fun? There’s a good mix of characters to appeal to a wide audience and situations kids can easily see themselves having to face. That youngish middle school crowd will surely eat this up with the targeted humor, jokes that will make adults shake their heads, and questionable science that is crazy enough to make them wish it could be true. As a parent I liked the story with it giving the bullied kid a chance to gain some self-confidence to take on the world. Doing so using dinosaurs, aliens and a good supporting cast will just make that theme all the more fun. What kid hasn’t wished they could be a dinosaur? nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Ralph is just trying to get home from school without getting picked on by the local bully. He's not trying to run smack into that bully. He's also not trying to wake up hours later in the body of a Tyrannosaurus Rex. And he's DEFINITELY not trying to do battle in an alien arena in order to save Earth from the evil Cloberus Crunch. Unfortunately for Ralph, this is exactly what happens. Armed only with a new body (with very tiny arms) and his wits, Ralph is expected to not only defend himself and his planet in hand-to-hand combat with ferocious aliens, he must also navigate a new world filled with all sorts of creatures Ralph has never imagined, in which it can be difficult to tell friend from foe. This zany, hilarious story will appeal to anyone who loves dinosaurs, aliens, and adventure. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

Ralph is not thrilled at being suddenly expected to fight all sorts of terrifying aliens, especially when he realizes he's up against even bigger bullies than he was on earth. But to save earth, his new friend Joona, and himself, he's going to have to find some courage somewhere and fight back.
Splashy color and wild hijinks abound on every page. There's plenty of cartoon violence, but no real gore, even if there's a lot of serious issues going on. The wacky aliens and Ralph's horror at being forced into a sort of Luchador fighting suit are played for laughs while Joona is sexually harassed and threatened by the evil alien general and admits to having been outcast and abandoned by her people because of her differences. Although Ralph wins out in the end, the story isn't over - he might get pulled back to fight at any time - and he has some pangs of conscience about scaring off his bullies on earth by being a bigger bully.
Overall, however, everything is played for laughs and it's the kind of adventure that Captain Underpants fans are sure to love. As an adult, I find the "average or wimpy boy saves the day" trope to be annoying and overused, but at least Ralph is not white. The humor is mostly pretty childish and while the threats against Joona and earth are definitely mature, they're likely to go right over the heads of the target audience for this, which is definitely below the Pilkey Line.
Verdict: Add where you have lots of fans of Captain Underpants and other gross and silly comics.
