Book Reviews Of The Month – Donald Duck: Feathers of Fury

Donald Duck: Feathers of Fury
Boom Studios
Multiple writers and artists

This was an interesting for me. I’ve grown up watching cartoons, all sorts of them, including the Disney characters. Well this book put them in a different feel. Most of the stories in this trade were about Donald Duck and the last was Goofy and Mickey. Each story focused on something dealing with martial arts. The thought of Donald or Goofy studying any martial art frightens me and after reading this, that fear is reinforced. But the stories were meant for fun and that’s what you got while reading them.

Now, the art was different for each story and each had a good feel to them, almost like it was cartoon art put into a comic. That I enjoyed. If you’re taking a cartoon and converting it into a comic, have the art look the same for us fans. All of the characters kept their accents (except Donald, do you think they could take that voice and put it on paper and have you understand it?) and when they went to different lands, the accents matched where they were going. In all of the stories, the panels were easy to follow and would work for any level of comic book reader.

Now for what I think, really, I wasn’t the audience for this but I still enjoyed myself enough to keep reading. Also, for me, these stories weren’t as enjoyable as others that I’ve read for the age range from this company. But again, that may be just me. In my humble opinion, if you have children and are looking for something to either read to them or for them to read on their own, this would be good. Or if you’re a fan of Donald Duck, this may be something for you. For everyone else, you might not want to pick this up. I give it 2 caps out of 5.
