Weapon Kosher is a pickle accidentally infused with super powers. Though he was an accident, the powers that be are using him to fight the Brotherhood of Evil Produce, a surly group bent on world domination. Strangely, the lab in which Weapon Kosher was created is below the bedroom of Jo Jo Wigman, who is a firecracker of a little girl. They meet when Weapon Kosher blasts through her bedroom floor, and they team up to fight the Brotherhood of Evil Produce together.
I love the absurdity of the premise of this book. Weapon Kosher has a great personality, too - he's super-serious about fighting crime, but he has these hilarious ditzy moments. Come on - a ditzy anthropomorphized pickle who doesn't know he's ditzy - what could be better than that? I also love how Morse drew him - his face is always shrouded in a dark shadow, which adds to his mystique. The one thing I didn't like about the drawing style was the blank, Barney Rubble-esque eyes that Morse gives to all the characters. I thought it just made them look vacant and freaky. Otherwise, though, a very quick and entertaining read. Probably one of the better kids comic books out there.

Better than many graphic novels for kids, but not much actually happens. Better for younger kids--like my 6-yo.
