'Wrapped-Up Vol. 1' by Dave Scheidt with Scoot McMahon and various artists is a graphic novel with a series of stories about a young mummy who really likes pizza.
Milo, a young mummy, lives in an unusual family. He's got a best friend who is a wizard and an older sister who looks out for him. In the series of stories, Milo has to find an enchanted pepperoni, battle an army of cats, and fight off a kaiju while on a field trip with his class.
I had fun reading this graphic novel. The stories are short, but imaginative. There are lots of characters, but they are all managed pretty well. Various artists are used, but the book has continuity in the look is has.
I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Oni Press, Diamond Book Distributors, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.

Score: 4/5
It's a collection of comics about this zombie kid named Milo and the weird things that happen to him.
Artwork and easy to read fonts. It consists of spontaneity that upper elementary/middle school kids will like. A neighbor who does not have boundaries and breaks your house and makes life miserable but also goes with you to fix things. Small amount of bathroom humor.
Diversity in the side characters in some of the comics. It's fun, interesting and definitely would be liked by kids who like random, odd, and some small gross moments in this.
Whacky neighbor who bothers the family. Destroys their house with a Gorilla busts through window for pizza. Kid steals Dad's card and goes to town eating pizza without permission. Bathroom humor.

This was a sweet, cutesy children's comic I borrowed on a NerdBurger recommendation. I loved how the main character was a little boy who also happened to be a mummy. He had to deal with divorced parents, step siblings, and the woes of school. I liked most things about the comic except for the dumb wizard next door who kept messing everything up. He didn't serve much purpose except to create drama. My favorite chapter was about the evil babydoll and I couldn't handle it. Evil babydolls (except for Annabelle) are such a cool trope to me where I get excited rather than scared. Oh well. I may not continue with this series but it was fun to venture into children's comics.

This was a lot of fun. The art is reminiscent of Tiny Titans and the stories fall in the realm of Dog Man, Captain underpants Etc. We follow Milo in his everyday life as a mummy. He is one pizza eating wrap of bandages. My favorite strip in the book is the one in the library where they are trying to find the smelly book. Lots of characters and humor for elementary graphic novel readers.
