### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Wonderful and thrilling
  

*by N***M on Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2012*

The charm offered by Joe the Barbarian is enough to draw you in, but it's the hypnotic effect it has on you that will make you stay.  Written by the great Grant Morrison, Joe the Barbarian finds our young teen protagonist Joe in some dire straits.  He's an extreme diabetic, he's home alone, and he seriously needs to get his sugar up.  Making matters worse is the storm outside that kills the power inside his house, which really exacerbates the vivid hallucinations he has involving his action figures and his pet mouse Jack.  It all sounds like a ridiculous mish-mash of non-sense that wouldn't work with any other writer, but Joe the Barbarian shockingly manages to do all just that.  Morrison weaves a gripping and inventive tale, while artist Sean Murphy draws us such a gorgeously brilliant world that it becomes hard not to become trapped in it yourself.  All in all, do yourself a favor and pick up Joe the Barbarian, you'll be glad that you did.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Thoroughly fun and enojyable even if you don't like Morrison
  

*by B***N on Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2016*

This is one of the more upfront and approachable stories I've read by Grant Morrison aside from WE3. The story does hinge on one twist which provides the setting and explains some of the fantasy elements (without giving anything way) but the delivery is not convoluted at all.Sean Murphy's art as always is spectacular with incredible detailing and world building. Overall a very enjoyable fantasy adventure comic with a solid delivery and ending. If you despise Grant Morrison's writing like some do, you may actually enjoy this and everyone else should love it. I repurchased this in hardcover since I loved the art so much.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Terrible binding, fantastic story
  

*by S***Y on Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2012*

I like what Morrison does about half the time, and I have yet to love anything he has done.  This changed that.Really, the only thing holding this book back from the 5 stars is the terrible, lazy binding.  The binding is glued, which is fine for a thin volume, but the binding was not pressed all the way into the cover before letting the glue dry.  It looks like the whole inside will pop out of the cover.  Its a shame because I want to enjoy this book till the day I die.The story is about Joe's journey through his imaginative fantasy realm as he struggles to navigate through his house to save his life from a hypoglycemic coma.  It all seems to be a hallucination but that is the great thing about Morrison, he leaves just enough to leave you to think about it and decide.The book is fun.  Its fun, it has depth and it is drawn so well.  Morrison tells a great story about letting the fantasy realm parallel Joe's fears and obstacles, allowing us to take an analogous look at death, fear and courage and explore the idea of how our tendency towards escapism and imagination help us to resolve and make sense of the world we leave in. This is all made better because it lacks the confusing story telling methods Morrison often adopts.The only drawback is that it could have benefited from another issue to engage and build one or two of the other characters better.  But that may have done more harm then good considering how great the pacing is.This will remind you of the 80s wonderment stories where imagination and adventure took the pilot's seat.
