Kid Cosmic \/ Netflix \/ Premiered: 2 February 2021<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Living in a desert in New Mexico, Kid fantasizes about becoming a superhero. He finds five cosmic stones of power dropped from a crashed spaceship which allows his fantasies to become a reality. He fights alongside a diverse team of superheroes to stop the evil Stuck Chuck from taking the cosmic stones.<\/em><\/p>–Summary by Vic’s Review<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

I wouldn\u2019t have considered taking up this show had it not been for Craig McCracken being the creator. Having created Powerpuff Girls<\/em>, Foster\u2019s Home for Imaginary Friends<\/em>, and Wander over Yonder<\/a><\/em>, I\u2019m glad to see he\u2019s still in the animation industry and making new shows. Even after watching one episode, I\u2019d say he\u2019s continuing his successful streak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Awesome Artwork!<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Even though this show is not in CGI, I\u2019m assuming this show was hand-drawn digitally. I like how digital drawings can be emulated to look like classic 2D animation.  Though the show designers were going for the retro comic book art style, to me it\u2019s like the illustrations are out of a children\u2019s book. Though Kid looks like the main character of a children\u2019s book, Jo\u2019s design is definitely in McCracken\u2019s art style (black choker reminiscent of Frankie Foster (Foster\u2019s Home…<\/em>), Sylvia\u2019s (Wander over Yonder<\/em>) mouth shape). The aliens are in the same McCracken style used in Powerpuff Girls <\/em>and Wonder over Yonder<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s Going to be Good<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Yes, I probably just assumed the quality level in the post-sparkle of watching episode one. The other day I was wondering what Craig McCracken was doing these days. My question was answered while scrolling through Twitter where there was a link to an interview where McCracken talks about this show. I really liked Foster\u2019s Home…<\/em> and Wander over Yonder<\/em> and I expect the same level of excellence from Kid Cosmic<\/em>. I can use another superhero cartoon in my life and I have a list of shows I’d like to watch for the first time using streaming services and review them. I can\u2019t wait to watch the other 9 episodes. It\u2019s so tempting to watch another one now. Maybe tomorrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I watch the credits until the end for the closing logo. It’s as classy-looking as the show itself. I love closing logos and this one is now one of my favorites.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
