Nana

Veteran creator Mark McKenna has published a couple of delightful “Banana Tail” children’s books over the years, and now gives his creation, a monkey with a banana for a tail, a true comic book treatment in the form of “Boonana Tail Halloween Special.” This anthology consists of five new stories featuring his character and his cast of friends all with mild and innocently spooky themes, which missed Halloween by a week but can be enjoyed mostly by children, but also by their parents to a lesser extent. Other comic veterans like Jim Calafiore and Fabian Nicieza are among the dozen or so creators all contributing to this special that carries the same kind of delight as McKenna’s past books. Leadoff story “Boo!” by McKenna and Calafiore is the comic’s longest and strongest entry, and features Banana Tail, Reena and Tic Tac getting lost in the woods after a scare, getting split up and finding themselves in an even scarier situation. The trio is scared, sure, but the scenario isn’t genuine
