By Jeffrey Brown. Published by Top Shelf.
Softcover, 144 pages, Colour, 2007
“This pocket-sized volume is to The Transformers what Avenue Q is to Sesame Street -- a mocking, fawning, idiotic, adoring paean to a pop culture phenomenon inseparable from the artist’s person. Although allegory without substance, all action and no moral, it’s delightful fluff.” -- Library Journal
“It’s all wonderfully silly and, except for a few pungent expressions, genuinely childlike and playful, radiating an aura of being made up as it goes along. Just plain delightful.” -- Booklist
“Incredible Change-Bots manages to find the perfect balance between nostalgia and self-aware fun.” -- MTV Splash Page
“Robots shooting lasers is one thing. But add a well-placed ‘BEW BEW BDEW BEW’ and it’s magical... Incredible Change-Bots may look like it’s made for ‘boys’ who grew up in the 80’s. And it is. But it’s so much fun that everyone will appreciate it. ” -- Playback:STL
“Brown is a master at lunkheadedly awesome sight gags and wordplay ... I found myself wiping away tears and laughing out loud in inappropriate public places more times than I would like to mention while reading this book.” -- Ink 19
Far away in space, there is a planet populated by machines able to change from robot form to vehicle form --- the Incredible Change-Bots! Leaving their war-torn planet, the Change-Bots arrive on Earth, where their battle continues -- BUT AT WHAT COST?!
Part parody, part nostalgic tribute, part moral fable, with Incredible Change-Bots Jeffrey Brown re-invents the shape-changing robot genre into a goofy action comedy that's full of romance, melodrama, and epic battles! The first FULL-COLOR graphic novel from Jeffrey Brown is an all-ages friendly (only one guy and some robots die) explosion of sci-fi fun. -- 144-page full-color softcover with french flaps, 5" x 6.5", Diamond: MAY073774
