The Big Book of Barry Ween, Boy Genius/Judd Winick

The Big Book of Barry Ween, Boy Genius by Judd Winick; graphic novel; 376 pages

This omnibus collects the adventures of Barry Ween, a foul-mouthed ten-year-old with a 350 IQ. Barry builds an array of cool gadgets that get him and his friend Jeremy into a range of bizarre situations, each crazier than the last. Over the course of this book, there's aliens, time travel, cloning, secret government agencies, and high tech special ops. Barry generally remains unruffled through it all, and, like most ten-year-olds, Jeremy thinks near death experiences are really cool. This is an hilarious comic and a really fast read, despite its length. Now I just wish there was more...
