Where do I start? MR. STUFFINS is one of the reasons that people should go out to a comic book store. This book leaps off the page with heart. From the creative duo behind EUREKA —Andrew Cosby and EUREKA writer Johanna Stokes—comes one of the best books of the year.

The comic reads like a high concept movie. When a scientist succeeds in creating artificial intelligence, he discovers to his horror that the government plans on making it a weapon. On the run, he hides the program inside a mechanical toy bear named MR. STUFFINS. An unsuspecting father buys the toy bear for his son Zach. Zach soon discovers that his new best friend will change his life forever. The artwork is by comic book artist Axel Medellin, and is solid and pops in the right places as Cosby and Stokes deliver great moments and great characters. Boom Studios also has a variant cover By MOUSE GUARD's David Petersen, showing that they are bringing in the best for the launch of this mega-title. Hit the jump for a preview of Mr. Stuffins...
