1) Paperback Book All the Rage: The Boondocks Past and Present (Boondocks) by Three Rivers Press. This is a compilation, like the previous works by Mr. Magruder, but it retains its vitality and insight. Although his work continues to show a liberal bias, he doesn´t hesitate to point out the fallacies and misrepresentations of all sides in the political and social arenas. Worth buying, reading, and keeping.¤

2) Paperback Book All the Rage: The Boondocks Past and Present (Boondocks) by Three Rivers Press. This is the final installment of McGruder´s Boondocks comic strip. It´s a bit weaker than the other two large volumes, but still very strong. There were some strips from the first collections scattered throughout, and not necessarily in order. That threw me off here and there. There´s a large section of articles and interviews which are quite interesting. And finally there is an anticlimatic "controversy" section. We´ve seen these before and McGruder adds nothing new. Still, even though this is a weaker collection than we´ve seen before, it´s still worth reading.¤

3) Paperback Book All the Rage: The Boondocks Past and Present (Boondocks) by Three Rivers Press. All The Rage covers the different formats that Aaron McGruder´s comic has undergone as it transitioned from a newpaper strip to animation. In this reviewer´s humble opinion, some of his very best strips are included in this volume. I own all of the Boondocks books and this is by far my favorite.¤

4) Paperback Book All the Rage: The Boondocks Past and Present (Boondocks) by Three Rivers Press. I love the strip and I´m sad that it´s over.
That being said, this pieces all the "best of" non-comic moments together. I read that it was 200+ pages, and thought, "Wow! That´s a lot of comics!"
Well, the current comics comprise about 1/2 of the book, 1/4 goes to interviews, and 1/4 are "controversial" strips. Ooh, controversy!
These are great. If you have seen the first or second season of the shows, you will recognize some story arcs a little too well, even down to the line. Awesome.¤

5) Paperback Book All the Rage: The Boondocks Past and Present (Boondocks) by Three Rivers Press. All the Rage: The Boondocks Past and Present is more than just the latest collection of the politically charged, African-American culture-centric newspaper comic strip - it also gathers a massive assortment of interviews with comic creator, writer and cartoonist Aaron McGruder, and even prints some of the most controversial strips for the first time. Young, unsmiling radical leftist Huey gives his cynical take on everything from McDonald´s ridiculous attempts to emulate hiphop culture to high-level political hypocrisy, while his gangsta-wannabe little brother Riley represents the aspect of modern rap culture that is blindly obsessed criminality: "Man, I´d never steal music off the internet... it´s easier to just steal it from the store." No cow is too sacred in All the Rage; there are jabs galore for the more questionable aspects of black and white culture alike. The interviews reveal a passionate side to McGruder, embedded in his desire to do more than make his readers laugh; he also wants to make them think, and in that All the Rage is a resounding success. Highly recommended.¤

6) Paperback Book All the Rage: The Boondocks Past and Present (Boondocks) by Three Rivers Press. Here are the latest, greatest, and last of the daily and Sunday strips; banned comics that have never been seen before, with Aaron McGruder’s commentary on them; and interviews and profiles of the man behind the rage. All the Rage is a must for any true Boondocks fan.¤
