Book Review #49: Bone: Rock Jaw (Volume 5)

Bone: Rock Jaw (Volume 5) 1998


Written and Drawn by Jeff Smith
Colors by Steve Hamaker

Bone: Rock Jaw Volume 5 takes place entirely on a cliff on the outskirts of the Valley. Here the story centers on Fone Bone and Smiley Bone's quest to return the Rat Creature Pup back to its family, only to run into Roque Ja (Rock Jaw), a Tiger. From here all sorts of troubles await our lovable duo as they meet a host of other characters that help them escape from Rock Jaw and Kingdok

I was kind of surprised that the majority of the Volume was basically one story set in one setting. It does take on the feel of Lord Of The Rings with their quest...or lack of. No Phoney Bone here gives it a lesser rating. Hey, nothing wrong with the story itself that's being told. But I wanted some crazy antics of Phoney Bone to pop up somewhere.

Rating: 4 Stars out of 5
