KaBOOM!; $14.99

As part of the partnership between BOOM! Studios and Nickelodeon, the publisher recently brought everyone’s favorite wallaby back into the spotlight in an all-new ongoing series! Now, as the series continues to thrill ’90s kids and the next generation alike, BOOM! has released the first volume collecting Rocko’s Modern Life #1-4. 

Rocko, Spunky, Heffer, Filburt, the Bigheads, and the entire cast of O-Town are back! Unfortunately, the town is facing job shortages and Rocko is forced to combat unemployment, a terrible living situation, and increasingly slim job prospects. Rocko eventually find himself in the employ of Radvertising, where he must work overtime to fit into the digital age. One viral snapshot later and Rocko’s dog Spunky is an overnight sensation! But with millions of followers online, does Spunky really need Rocko anymore? Grab your copy and find out!

These issues also feature a bonus short story by KC Green where Ed Bighead finds himself in the dentist chair of Dr. Hutchison, as well as a story from David DeGrand that sends Rocko and Heffer to O-Town’s very own comic convention.

Writer Ryan Ferrier continues to capture the many voices of Rocko’s Modern Life, while still giving O-Town an updated vibe. Meanwhile the cartoonish imagery by Ian McGinty brings the entire story right off the page.
