The Amazing World of Gumball Vol. 1 Kindle & comiXology

My kids love this book. It's really cute. I'm sorry I missed when they were originally released. Now it's hard to find them. But I was able to find a pretty good used copy with this one.

Thank you.

This collects issues 1 through 4 of the Gumball comics. My son loves the cartoon, and he loves comic books, so this collection was a big hit with him.

It is lovely

Kids love it

These comics are absolutely adorable a real treat to read. if you enjoy the show regularly I whole-heartedly recommend these awesome comics. The story and narrative aren't as impressive as you might find in a MLP Comic. But this is more down to earth and overall each comic is like reading an episode form the show. :)

I can’t tell you how much I love the cartoon on Cartoon Network. Now The Amazing World of Gumball is in comic form. The comic brings the same irreverence, idiocy and poorly thought out decisions to the printed page.This volume covers the first 4 comics in the series. It includes all the alternate covers for each comic as well. It has 6 stories, 4 longer stories and 2 shorter stories.The 6 stories are: Cool, Karate, Tag: The Betrayal & The Black Out as the long stories with The Pants and The Amazing Journal Comic of Darwin as the two shorter stories.Cool follows Gumball as he tries to out do Tobias who makes everybody think he is driving a car. Gumball decides he must learn how to drive too and promises Darwin that he can ride Shotgun if he helps him.In Karate, Gumball and Darwin are playing a fighting video game and decide to try out their Karate skills outside. Their mom comes home and finds them not getting into trouble so decides to reward them with something they want to do. They both agree on wanting to learn Karate.In Tag: The Betrayal, Gumball is in an argument with Jamie. Gumball pulls out all the heavy hitters in the argument to win, including the dreaded IT in a game of Tag. Unfortunately Gumball has tapped into the dark secret of Elmore and has opened a can of Tag worms that he will regret opening.The Black Out follows Rocky who feels disrespected as the schools cafeteria lunch server, janitor and school bus driver. He demands to switch jobs with the other staff in the school so they can see how it is to be him. Things don’t go as he hoped as he finds out just how critical and important he is at his roles.Sadly, the comic does have DRM, so I have to subtract a point for that.

Will review each story seperately, but overall this is better than Vol. 2. Mostly thanks to "The Blackout" and Mr. Dad's cooking incident (so hilarious!)."Cool"****In the first story, Gumball and Darwin decide they need to be cool. And to be cool, they want to drive. Mr. Dad straps on some training wheels, gives them helmets and sends them on their way. Their mom has different ideas about this, and the boys must seek other ways to be cool.Their mom's face when they drive by and the result is hilarious."Karate"***Mom signs Gumbo and Darwin up for karate, with unexpected results.Ok. It's just utterly forgettable between the driving episode and a later story."Tag: The Betrayal"****Gumball decides a game of tag is the perfect way to settle a dispute. Little does he realize how seriously the town takes tag.I don't think I'll ever look at a game of tag in the same way. Kudos to the writers & illustrators for taking a normal topic and making it epic."The Black Out"***** (I'd give this more if I could.)Not feeling appreciated, Rocky, the school's bus driver/cafeteria cook/janitor decides to convince the school staff to swap roles for a day. It's an unforgettable day, but the inedible school lunch will have drastic repercussions. Why? Well, when Gumbo and Darwin come home starving, Mr. Dad breaks the rules and decides to make a little snack. Snack time results in a major blackout and riots. Thankfully, Rocky, realizes his true calling in time to save the day before it's over.Oh my goodness. The scene where Mr. Dad makes a snack was unforgettable comedic genius. I laughed so hard I cried. I had to re-read this story just to get a second dose of that scene. (And subsequently I pretty much forgot all about every other story because they pale in comparison.) IF YOU DON'T READ ANY OTHER STORY IN HERE, READ THIS ONE. So funny."The Pants"**Gumball tries to give Darwin pants, but they don't work. So Gumball tries other ways to make Darwin feel like everyone else.Disturbing (though thankfully Gumball is a cat/rabbit/thing so it isn't horrible)."The Amazing Journal Comic of Darwin"***Darwin has to keep a journal for a week as a school assignment.Moments of great humor, like Darwin bemoaning his lack of fingers, eating fish sticks, declaring Mr. Dad his role model, and swim lessons.

It has really developed my son's reading habit. We have used it as a transition from constantly asking to watch the programme on the TV to getting a good habit of reading. It is working well so far.

Bought for my son's 11th birthday. Bought a collection of them and he likes them a lot, Gumball being his favourite because it was funny and contained jokes as well

So funny! Just like the show and the artwork is amazing. Went and bought vol. 2 as soon as I'd finished. Can't wait to read more!

Really fun stories and the artwork is superb!Must buy for any Gumball fan.

Piaciuto molto a mio figlio, divertente
