How (Not) to Head-Butt a Monster!

September 08, 2015 by Chris Bolton in Blog, Webcomic

The newest page is up for our weekly webcomic, "Monstrous!"

Each week we present a new page and they're all free to read! (Although, if you want to help us make more comics, your support on Patreon is always appreciated.)

We recently heard from a fan who worried that reading "Monstrous" would spoil Book 2. Not to worry! The webcomic is all-new, online-only material that will NOT be in Book 2 and doesn't spoil a single surprise -- we promise! So, feel free to read "Monstrous" as you please.

And iust a reminder of how critics feel about the book:

School Library Journal:

[A]n action-packed crowd-pleaser….The full-color artwork is full of kinetic energy....Smash pays homage to the genre while adding tweaks that make it all feel fresh. This is sure to be a draw for superhero fans and reluctant readers alike.

The Horn Book:

Mixing humor with action makes for a winning combination; a vivid palette and classic comic book-style greatly enhance the graphic novel package.

2014 Children’s Choice Book Awards:

The comic book art and fast-paced story hooks readers in the first of a new series.

Good Comics for Kids:

Kids and adults can enjoy this superhero title that’s filled with humor, action, and art that makes it a fun ride for everyone.

100 Scope Notes blog:

There’s no shortage of superhero graphic novels, but Smash: Trial by Fire is more well done than most….[I]t’s full of drama, humor, and seriously thrilling action sequences. To summarize: kids are going to love it.
