review 1: This wasn't the usual graphic novel I would have picked up but I was pleasantly surprised. The book itself is lovely and the artwork is really good. It is a collection of stories all tied together about a group of dogs and a few cats that save their town of Burden Hill from supernatural beings and happenings. Although it started out slowly for me, by the last story I wanted to read more so I highly recommend it. If you like talking animals that kick supernatural butt, you'll love it!
review 2: I've been a fan of Evan Dorkin since his Milk and Cheese days - he's one of the few comic creators who's work survived the moving-house chuckout. This is some of his best work and I would dearly love to read more of this story. I am a huge sucker for animal stories an... mored urban fantasy so it was natural that I would gravitate toward this collection of fables about a gang of neighbourhood dogs (and cat) that know about the supernatural underbelly of Burden. This book isn't for children - the violence can be confronting and one story in particular is an animal lover's worst nightmare. The artwork is warm, expressive and beautifully rendered. less
