 Hi everyone. This is Chicho. Welcome to my channel and welcome to another comic book live stream We're doing a live stream right now. It's August 20th. I believe Sunday and we're gonna be doing a couple of readings and I picked out these readings because we're cute other Fun reads and the first one we're gonna do is a silent issue and This is one of the comic books I picked up Year and a half go a couple years ago from a comic book retailer in town that was dumping like a ton of comics for 25 cents a pop so I picked up this comic for 25 cents and It was in the boxes. I picked up a few hundred boxes of comics that I picked up and I ended up reading this like a few days ago and I Thought it was a super cute read very well done Artistically because it's a silent issue the imagery really has to tell you the story and it does a fantastic job telling the story Now this isn't put out by an independent publisher called here. Let me take this out of the box So we don't get the glow out of it or on its okay This is an independent publisher called whoop. Let's see if we can get this thing to focus their logo is pretty cute Monkey suit press right and they put out a graphic novel of this character of this or if this Comic book. I think it's the first one they put out and this is issue number two and It's called Rover by Michael for app right for end and I really couldn't find anything on him personally Monkey suit press the first comic they put out was in 1999 and It was literally Papa monkey suit trade paperback. I don't know. There's five issues in it. I don't know what's there Aside from that they put out a handful of comics from 1999 with monkey monkey press monkey suit trade paperback And then they had the big problem with Marshall in 2002 adventures of Maya in 2003 2004 and then they had Rex steel nazi smasher graphic novel in 2004 and then Rover from 2002 to 2003 with issue number one and two and then survival machine trade paperback came out in 2003 those are the only Issues comics that I know that they put out. Okay, so That's what we know of this and one thing I I liked is that the back cover There was a bunch of reviews that Was were put out by different people saying, you know The artwork is really good. It's a silent comic telling story without words is really Interesting, so that really intrigued me. I was looking forward to reading this and it was very pleasant pleasantly Surprised Okay, now what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna read this little bit to give you a little intro to this I believe yeah, I'm gonna read this little bit And these are the three main characters that we're gonna Come across in this title where Rover is the main character and then we got Zep is his best friend and supposedly I'm assuming an issue number one. We figured out that fub was Sort of adversary of Rover, but that doesn't really come across We don't know what the story is of that part. Okay now as far as the intro to this issue goes Follow Rover down into the dark caverns to help him save his new friend Zep Who has been kidnapped by the devil moles to save him? Rover is forced into an uneasy truth with Fub his one-time rival Can't Fub be trusted to help get Zep back? Discover the peculiar and dangerous things waiting in the deep in this charming and addictive series, right and I found it sort of sad that there was only two issues of this comic book put out, right? Because It had huge potential It had huge potential So this is volume number one issue number two of Rover They came out in 2003 by Michael Foran Published by monkey monkey suit press monkey suit press is Pat Giles Michael Foran Chris Mcmick lock Miguel Martinez Joffron Prentice Rollins special thanks go out to my beautiful wife Sarah Sarah Michael and Shannon Cobb and Rico Casa Rosa Bill Pressing, Nick Demayon, Damayon Mom and Dad, Ellenwood and the five crew at Noodle's noodle soup productions copyright 2003 Michael Foran No part of this book may be reproduced without the expressed and written permission of Michael Foran except for Small excerpts for purposes of review any similarity between characters persons or institutions in Rover and those of any person living or dead is purely coincidental and Unintentional first printing November 2003 sent inquiries and correspondence to monkey suit press 1 170 West End Avenue Suite 30D, New York, New York 10023 Letters to Michael Foran or Rover Become the property of Michael Foran are assumed Intended for publication in a whole or in part and may therefore be used for those purposes Okay, as far as the the copyright thing here I think these guys would be super cool with us doing this reading giving them a little bit of exposure, right and appreciating their their Efforts for putting out a fantastic comic book that Has a comic book collector goes for me. I was very very pleasantly surprised with right So we're gonna go quiet. This is a silent comic book and we're just gonna appreciate The artwork and the storytelling Okay, okay. I hope you like I thought that was a fun read I thought that was is cute. It was very cute Actually, these characters had huge potential like the way the storytelling was going It's unfortunate that The series only had two issues and I don't think they've appeared again But Nice artwork. Here's Rover number one and you can pick these up on the cheap premier issue Right So I might try to track this down Just get one and two together and you can buy it on ebay fairly easily and inexpensive In search of monkey suit and this is the graphic novel they put out I think the first story that they put out very cool very cool Just to read these guys Just the reviews the pages are Try triumphs of comic format format the complex structure makes reading worthwhile The more so because it's more complicated to describe than it is to read and understand in practice It works beautifully to flesh out the world Jonathan Draper Carson comics worth reading Not many cartoonists can tell Compelling story without words, but for an does it cleverly and with great deal of personality Chris 9th art Rover is so far in a class with only a few other comics accessible to accessible to and enjoyable from for beginning readers and Not English speakers This is a comic field too little explored the mind tale accessible to readers of all ages a promising adventure Comic buyers guide. I agree. It was a promising adventure and this thing really reminded me of bone Jeff Smith bone I Really don't like doing the comparison in that sense, but the monsters specially Okay, so I thought that was super cool Super cool Glad to have this wouldn't have had it if it wasn't for the comic book store dumping You know getting rid of thousands of comic for like 25 cents a pop, right?
