Review Clue #1

Calling all murder mystery addicts! I'm a huge fan of mysteries, and there's nothing more indicative of the genre than playing the board game Clue.

Honestly, it's way more fun to play as an adult than it was as a kid. Trash-talking adults exhibit some serious cunning in trying to throw you off the trail, while kids have a more straight-forward approach to the game. My best advice is to get together the crazy group of friends you play Dungeons & Dragons with, order take out, select your favorite cold beverages, and settle in for a game session that will make you laugh till your sides split.

IDW Publishing has a great track record of producing comics based off stalwart Hasbro properties like G.I. Joe, Transformers, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. So it shouldn't have come as a surprise that IDW would get around to a comic based on Clue. The iconic property inspired Clue, the cult-classic 1985 film (which, interestingly, didn't make back at the box office the $15 million it cost to produce). Writer Paul Allor and artist Nelson Daniel have done an excellent job with the first issue, and you're going to love the character updates.

I reviewed it for Broken Frontier, and you can read the full review HERE.
