The Flintstones Vol. 1 by Mark Russell
4.0
Overall, a good read. I always enjoy consuming media that has a firm grasp of reality. Each issue tackled a new theme: consumerism, mortality, the aftermath of war, etc. This darker side of The Flintstones adds depth and relatability to the characters we grew up with while remaining true to Bedrock.
As with many first installments, The Flintstones Volume 1 contained a lot of introductions. By far the most enjoyable part was the character development. Many new character concepts and back stories were introduced in this graphic novel but all of them came off as well thought out and complete.
My main gripe: (especially in the first few issues) transitions between panels were sometimes unforgivably jarring.
Also, be warned: Alien Spring Break. Wut.
