Okay I am going to do a quick review of the first 3 issues of IDW Littlest Pet Shop. I will do a quick recap of the plots, and than an overal review.

Issue 1- the main story is Mrs. Twombry and Blythe ate talking, they got feedback notes from the customer, they like Blythe's style, but one complaint is the pets don't look very exercised.  We cut to the pets who are lazily watching television. Blythe play a Cluemaster riddle game, though Vinnie it would  interfere with his plans to sit around and do nothing line. Russell volunteers to be the cluemaster, and has a power hungry look, Blythe suggest Penny Ling be Russell's in order to let this power go to Russell's head. They divide into two team and go around Downtown city trying to find items or tressue. This was a fun story, I liked we got to some new human extra design, on the show we have limited number of extras, so nice to see new people. I loved the part when they bumped into the Biskits, and they bought a $500 toothpick and bought it online saving the trouble of going into the next room.  

The art work ont eh pets are excellent, but the human character specificly Blythe and Sue not so good. Sue looks like her creepy stocker person we saw in "Russell Up Some Fun", I don't that is the intention, but the art work makes her look creepy, when Blythe lives her apartment, the artist has Sue make a lunge move at Blythe.  But it was a fun story.

Than there is a short story, about pet rocks and the pets being parinoid but it turns out it is rocks that Roger as part of a joke. Not to much say, but there is a Russell Indiana Jones fantasy that is awesome.

My review is 8.5 out of 10

Issue 2

Okay the main story has two plots, one Blythe plot, on pet plot, I will talk about the pet plot because is much simpiler to explain. A store called Scratching Post opens accross the street from LPS, and the pets think is is another pet store that will put LPS out of business. So they decide to go there and sabatage it. Turns out it is a coffee shop. This was a funny plot, yeah it reminded me a bit of "Books and Covers", but that is okay. This plot didn't get a lot of screen time, which is a shame, but I liked the other plot more anyway, and the pets were featured in the Blythe plot than there own plot, being in Blythe's fantasy this time.

The Blythe plot, is Youngmee ask Blythe to be her partner in a duel monster card game tournament. But Blythe is hesisdent because of her past in which she was a competitive person, ironic because that is one thing Rainbow Dash and Applejack have in common, very competitive. And I love how Youngmee makes her entrance, she is hiding in the dumbwaiter, which reminds me of the Youngmee we saw in "Mean Isn't Your Color", and hiding in the dumbwaiter, she has to learn Blythe's secret. When it comes to the supporting human characters at least Blythe's peers, all of Shannon Chan Kent characters are great. They stop by a comic book store and hanging out there is a certain comic book reviewer that knows a thing about bad comics, Linkara who is probably going on a long rant about something to this red haired lady.  I am a big fan od Yu Gi Oh, so this fun to watch LPS paroding it, two of my favorite worlds coming together.

We than have a mini story about the pets protecting LPS castle from Russell.

I thought issue 2 is an improvement over issue 1. I liked the Yu Gi Oh, and Youngmee's entrance was great, and of course the Linkara cameo, but mainly I felt the art was better. And all of the comics artwork are by the same person, I guess the artist can improve as we move on.

My review 9 out of 10

Issue 3

Blythe grade point average is in jeopardy when she has to work on a class projects with the Biskits, meanwhile Sunil makes a new snake friend. There are two plots, but they are connected, the pet plot are the pets looking for Blythe's notebook, Sunil accidently falls into the fish tank and meets a snake named Trey. It is a nice little Sunil story, Sunil fans will love it.

Now for the Blythe plot is her having to do a group report about the book The Great Gatsby with the Biskit twins. Something we don't see enough on the show, Blythe and Biskits having to co excist, we saw some of that in "Books and Covers" like to see more of that. Blythe tricks the Biskits into helping, we see traps them in the class room which was pay back for '"The Nest Hat Craz" I guess. Blythe finds out the one thing the Biskits liked about the book was the cloths, so she uses that for the project. They get some help from the boys at the drama department, and one of the boys might look familar, he is someone that appeared on the show, he was in "What's In The Batter", he was the boy that jumped into a girl's arms when the pets were revealed to be at the Biskits birthday party. They make a hillarous movie starting the Biskits, and I loved the Biskits outfits in this movie, and Brittany got to ride Blythe's scooter. So people that have driving Blythe's scooter besides Blythe, Youngmee, Discord, and now Brittany.

The short is about the Downtown Parade in which Littlest Pet Shop and Largest Pet Shop apart of. The Biskits twins are bored and not bothing nobody, for some reason that ruins the parade and Penny Ling has to teach them a lesson. I don't get it, I didn't like this one, they just pick on the Biskits for no good reason. They looked bored, so what, let is go.

I really liked the main story, didn't like the short story, the art continues to be better.

My score is 9 out of 10.

So that is my review of the first 3 issues of Littlest Pet Shop IDW comic book series. I will review issue 4 next month, and issue 5 the month after, so look for that. Tell me what you think of the comics in the comics. Have a great LPS day.

Wow, didn't even know IDW was doing an LPS Comic series! I'm glad you did this review because now I'm considering getting these, but I've got a couple of questions first.

1) About how long did it take to ship to you from the ordering date?
2) What kind of packaging did they use for the actual comic book?
3) Will this be a strict 5-issue only thing, or will there be more issues later on?

Thanks for doing this, Zfunk!
