Amazing issue, Dennis used his beloved, much missed catapult, pea shooter and water pistol! Hooray! The Menace is back in town!
Minnie the Minx was very funny, Laura's style looking amazing once more and really suiting the story, wouldn't of been as good if it was by Ken Harrison...
Ball Boy and Meebo and Zuky were both 100% funny, fantastic artwork with laugh out loud stories!
Other great stories this week included Fred's Bed, Ivy the Terrible and Billy Whizz...
And now over to the part which was a great surprise, me featuring in the Beano V.I.P.! It was my review from the issue about two or three weeks ago, they featured Roger the Dodger, Meebo and Zuky and Billy Whizz, the only thing that annoyed me was that they changed my comments slightly, cutting off parts, nothing *too* major but still a tad annoying...
LEGO City annoyed me, not only was it a reprint of the story the issue before, but they also got rid of Diego's signature, altered the strip removing the backgrounds, stars and the 'E!' from 'RELEASE!' for some odd reason...

Dennis and Gnasher - 10/10
Billy Whizz - 9/10
Minnie the Minx - 10/10
Ball Boy - 10/10
LEGO City - 9/10 (story-wise)
