 Liberty Meadows #1January 1999 Writer/Illustrator: Frank Cho Colorist: Mark Wheatley Summary: We are introduced to the new incoming animal doctor, Frank and Brandy, the resident animal psychiatrist. Liberty meadows is a sanctuary for animals who lost their natural habitat to man. Upon first glance, Frank is smitten and head over heels for Brandy. We are also introduced to Ralph, the midget circus bear and the bullfrog, Leslie. Both are practical jokers, as Frank found out. Then there's Dean, the pig who is in the facility for detox. There's also Truman the duck whose feathers are coated in petroleum due to the worst coastal petroleum accident. We get a glimpse of life at Liberty Meadows. There's Brandy's group therapy session with the animals. We get to see the animals interact with each other and their hilarity ensues. Frank gets his dream girl as Brandy agrees to go out with him for dinner. Frank gets into a confrontation with a hulking figure of a man whom Brandy dumped. Brandy called the cops to save the day. Meanwhile at Liberty Meadows animal hilarity continues as they all do idiotic funny things like shooting out of a cannonball, playing a combination diving dodgeball game, and various other mind-numbing activities. Near towards the end, the owner of the facility, Julius, who is an avid fisherman, encounters Khaan, and oversized catfish. We get tones of Star Trek TOS in Julius' confrontation with Khaan, catfish. Comments: This is a great comic book. I wish I've seen this before. Each character is well done and has a depth to him, her, and it. The animals are great. Each one, hilarious in his own way, with mind-numbing activities to enhance their hilarious situations. Each one is eccentric and they all grow on you as a reader almost immediately from the start. With the Lynda Carter-like beautiful Brandy aboard, you get an eye candy to boot as well. Frank Cho's illustrations bring this whole work to life, and the contrast between people and animal being able to communicate with each other is pure genius. |

 Liberty Meadows #2February 1999 Writer/Illustrator: Frank Cho Cover Colorist: Mark Wheatley Summary: More honest to goodness fun. The goofiness continues with the Animal characters in this comic book. And Frank continues to be so head over heels in love with Brandy, which leads to awkward funniness to the max. Comments: I love Ralph, the midget bear, and Dean, the obnoxious pig. There's all kinds of comedy available for everyone. There's a stand-up style, along with a slapstick type of comedy with a modern take to it. The Animals are in various situations and sometimes you can't just help but smile and laugh. The human characters are entertaining as well. The Brandy and Frank interactions are cool romantic comedy style scenes. Definitely a great read on a boring day.   |

They're in collected editions available in Amazon. Brandy's a good girl, but the situations and scenes are hilarious. The Animal characters are some of the most entertaining characters I've seen in comic books/graphic novels. |

This was a really fun series. I definitely agree with you. It can be read and re-read many times over, and it never gets old. |

Always been curious, never got around to reading it. When it launched, the little press always focused on Cho's ability to draw women; so, I passed it up as cheesecake. I heard good things; but, there was always something else more pressing, when I was buying.
