Full disclosure, I've never written a review of a graphic novel before. I’ve never really read many graphic novels or comic books, but i like dumb things in general, so like, whatever, it’s all basically the same thing. Video games, music, graphic novels, the fantastic 4, I get it. The big trick is just not to post spoilers or give too much of the plot or thematic elements away, and you got a pretty good review cooking up, simmer it for a bit, maybe some meta hints of some kind like how i’m going to actually be very humble and also pretend to be the smartest person that could have possibly written this, and BAM, once you read what i’m reviewing, this will make sense, and it’s not a spoiler so i’m basically a genius. Dial P for peanuts is an “all grown up” thing about the peanuts characters thrown into a murder mystery genre story. This one sentence should be enough for you to make your decision as to whether or not you should buy it or skip it, but i’m a writer, not a quitter, and nobody said that writing meant just telling people things quickly. The bait and switch, and switch again, of the story works perfectly on the expectations of the reader, building up our lovable goof-ball failure hero. The everyman, the reader represented in text, is abused as always, giving the reader a self to both root for and learn from. And yeah, sometimes we hate ourselves.
