I don't know how to rate this graphic novel. I picked it up for nostalgia, and although the artwork was very well done, the overall two story lines just did not live up to what I thought it would be. Hoping to like the next volume more.

love
I love the Rugrats. Huge fan !!! This comic book however, the drawing wasn’t like the movie and maybe because I’m an adult reading it but it didn’t compare to how the tv show display the personalities of the rugrats.

Too modern
Everything is from today. If i didnt grow up watching rugrats i would like this. It felt off with the parents using drones and cell phones.

Artwork was a little 'eh'.
And also, am I supposed to feel bad about the babies being monitored so heavily?? These are the RUGRATS, man; it's a wonder they've stayed alive as long as they have, with the crap they get into. I'm not gonna dump on their parents for finally choosing to guard against the insane things their kids tend to get into.

I liked how the language was reminiscent of the language used in the show, although there were times they talked a bit too maturely for their age. The art style was a bit weird at first, but I don't expect it to look like the show. Although that would have been cool if it did. The story was fun. Much more modern than I expected it to be. Was it a bit weird seeing phones and words like "DM's" in a book based off a show from the 90s? A bit. But overall, it was fun and nostalgic. But I'm not hard to please, even with Rugrats stuff.

This was really fun! The first (and main) story was compelling and a nice, if a bit unfamiliar, update of the Rugrats for the modern time. The art style was nice, even if I found Chuckie’s head to be a bit oversized. The energy of it matched the show really well thought. The second story was less to my liking with the plot not as well constructed and the art style too crowded. Overall a nice read especially for fans of the original show and/or movies :)

This was... weird? That's sort of the only way to describe it. I was really excited going into this, because Rugrats were a huge part of my childhood. And that's definitely what this is playing off of - they expect to draw a lot of people in with 90s nostalgia. But it just felt so strange to read. The art style was close to the original show in some ways, but very different in others. Tommy looked so, so different to me, and it was hard to get past that. And it was also hard to see all the parents using current-day tech, like nanny cams and drones, but still have the babies as babies. There's some sort of disconnect there, what with moving the setting to now but not aging anyone from the show.
Also, I would've really liked to see Dil, Kira, and Kimmie in this, at least. It felt weird to leave out established canon family members in what feels like a pseudo-future from the old show. That time jump is really throwing me off, okay? It feels WEIRD.
I don't know if I'll read anymore of this. It just didn't quite come together to a cohesive unit for me.

(3.5) Read it because I love Box Brown and Lisa Dubois (also I grew up with this show), it was fine. The story wasn't anything spectacular, felt a little weird having the Rugrats deal with nanny-cams and cell phones, the Cynthia doll story felt much more timeless and at home with the old show. It also got annoying that the baby talk from the show like "'sponerbilities' = responsibilities" gets a small editors note box; after the thirs time in an issue wouldn't you assume the audience gets the bit? I don't know who the audience is for this, would younger kids enjoy it, it's not super exciting as an adult fan... I could probably recommend it to a few people but it just doesn't hit the mark like the Rocko's Modern Life Comic did.
