I think someone recently said something about wanting to see ...more about comics in this group? Well...thoughts from my review of Imagine Agents Volume 1 TPB. Has anyone else read any of this series? Or have another trade or single-issue ongoing that they are into that mirrors this off-beaten path storybook or adventure comic approach? Trading Pages: Imagine Agents, Volume 1 - Welcome to Trading Pages, the entries where we post the months trade paperbacks that caught our interest. - I elected to pick up Imagine Agents Volume 1 on a whim. Collecting all four issues of the mini-series published by Boom! Studios back in 2007, it is a quirky take on one of the biggest common phenomena of human childhood. The answer as to why some kid halfway around the world had an imaginary friend just like many of us eludes people to this day, and Imagine Agents takes on at least a small part of that mythos... ...The series opens with these (blatant?) similarities kind of in your face, although they do seem to taper off and become more subtle as you progress towards the end of the series. Overall, the setup is this: imaginary friends are real. While humans below the age of eight make them coalesce out of some undisclosed form of energy, once corporeal, they can cause real damage. The truce between mankind and the figments is loose and there are frequent violations by figments, which then seem to always result in them serving time in the imaginary friend clink, run by the titular organization. Imagine Agent Dave Slatern is one of Imagines top agents. Recently assigned rookie agent Terry Snowgoose, Slatern is out to track down the figment that killed his childhood imaginary friend.
