Lilo & Stitch #2 brings some adventure at a comic con in New York! Re:cap - Lilo & Stitch #1; Lilo is encouraging Stitch at his artwork telling his story. She later finds that the drones of the Cluster Sovereign have kidnapped Stitch! Lilo chase after him with Jumba and Pleakly in their ship. Stitch manages to break free and lands in Central Park. He walks and finds out that he is at a comic convention! Nicoletta Baldari provides the cover with Stitch on top of a skyscraper with a his picture of Lilo and himself. Greg Pak is the writer and Giulia Giacomino is the artist.
At the house in Kaua’i, Nani goes looking for Lilo and Stitch, she finds a track from a ship. In New York City, Nani contacts Pleakly asking about Lilo, but he pretends to know nothing. Nani threatens him and Pleakly explains everything, funny! Lilo is on a street light post using one of the Dr. Jumba’s binoculars, a man rolling a hand truck with boxes bumps into her, and finally detects the robotic drones. The shark-like drones at the cosplayers, Stitch-Captor 2 likes that they are having fun. A robot cosplayer compliments Stitch-Captor 2 who is gleeful. I like the dangerous looking robot is fun, turning an enemy to an ally is the greatest accomplishment.
The man pushing the crates, Mike, working for K-29 Kawaii Koalas looks at his box and finds a strange order. He looks Asian with a red t-shirt and top knot. "Kawaii" means cute in Japanese. One koala has five arms, this still might sell at a comic con. Stitch turns to see a drone. Stitch hurries to the Kawaii Koala booth and the worker is surprised when Stitch jumps into the booth! The drone pushes through the crowd and grabs Experiment 626! He opens his hand to find a koala! It tears the stuffie apart and Mike says he should pay for it. The drone gumbls and walks off. There should be con security checking out the situation.
Stitch says, “Tanks” to Mike. A woman with her baby and her baby in a stroller are drawn to the booth. She finds that the koalas are horrible and wants to buy one. There are Ugly Dolls and Fugglers. I hope to see a Kawaii Koala at a comic con. The baby happily holds the koala. Alone, Mike tugs on Stitch’s ear and he returns the gesture! He realizes that it is not a costume. A drone says it is searching for Experiment 626 and the cosplayers love the dramatic speech. Stitch hides among the koalas and tells Mike that he is now Kawaii Koala. Mike likes the idea. Stitch-Captor 2 meanwhile is getting a sketch of himself.
At the Kawaii Koala booth, Stitch is making faces and sketches which brings in a long line of cosplayers! Sketching is a big part of comic cons and the theme of loving something that might be different is great! Stitch-Captor 2 is about to ask for a sketch and notices it is Stitch. Lilo notices the blast of energy that sends the rest of the con attendees running! Stitch dodges the plasma blasts and Stitch saves Mike throwing him into the Kawaii Koalas! Stitch dodges the plasma blasts of the two Sovereign drones. Still, he is hit with a blast. Lilo comes to the rescue throwing a koala and Mike joins in throwing off the drones. Stitch knocks into both drones and Lilo and Stitch are reunited!
Lilo slaps a wrist communicator on Stitch’s wrist. Still, he is grabbed by a Sovereign drone, but Mike leaps on top of it and the robots flies away! Lilo checks on Stitch and then we find her tearfully picking up his drawing. Wow, wacky adventures and a little emotion! We see a page of several drawing of Lilo and Stitch spending time together, love the crayon like artwork! Nani followed by Jumba and Pleakly find Lilo. She brings up the meaning of ohana. Lilo shows her the drawings and says Stitch is her kuleana, responsibility.
I love the themes running in the comic along with the fun. Nani says Lilo left her behind and that Stitch is also her kuleana. Jumba works on the fallen drone, Stitch-Captor 2, taking away his Cluster Sovereign programming. It says that it is looking for DNA samples from Stitch to make the drones more dangerous. Pleakly has found the drone’s sketchbook and loves the drawings. This is perfect depiction of some of the fun of comic cons. Giacomino's artwork is very kawaii. Lilo & Stitch #2 has fun with the classic characters, adventures at a comic con!, and filled with heart!
Five Plasma Bombs out of Five!
