BEASTS OF BURDEN Evan Dworkin writes, Jill Thompson art. Where has this comic been all my life?

Animal wizards, sometimes with human partners, sometimes in loose packs or groups, fight the forces of darkness. The stories are well paced, the characters are wonderful (there's a cowardly doberman, an english sheepdog who's basically Gandalf only more badass, a husky who's faced a werewolf, a cat who's a satan worshipper's ex-familiar...). They face a haunted doghouse, free ranging vampire heads, demons, giant spiders. The art is glorious, able to keep the animals cute but show them in full bloody gory combat with a tribe of goblins.
Four good sized collections, all worthwhile.


Say less. This sounds awesome!


Just Finished the last collection, and yeah, absolutely worth a look. It's definitely an adult book (zombie dogs ew) but it hits all the best notes of an aged up childhood story, friends backing each other up, evil villains, cowards overcoming their fears, enemies become friends, apprentices learning magic, and the art is just perfect... the cats and dogs are all distinct characters with distinct expressions and movement. I may have to look into a hardcover set for this.


sigh... despite my visceral annoyance with Dark Horse shafting their digital customers magnificently, I note that they're releasing a BEASTS OF BURDEN omnibus....


https://www.darkhors...den-Omnibus-TPB

....that is probably exceptional and worthwhile.




Have i mentioned how annoyed i am with Dark Horse? How they're assholes and no one should give them any moneys?
K good cuz i folded like a cheap 90s flipphone and bought this and it's great. Dammit.
At least it's pb, not hb so they didn't that that much of my moneys!

Pre-ordered the audiobook The Malevolent Eight, the sequel to The Malevolent Seven which is apparently out in a few days! Going to interrupt my Malazan listen through in order to listen to that one!

Damnit, I think we have a later release in the States for this one. I preordered it but it's not due to arrive until August.

Abyss you seem to know things, is there any word on the next Aaronovitch full length Peter Grant novel?



How many organs is it worth to you to know?

Well hang about there's a novella coming out next year called the Masquerade of Spring. Put those sharpened melon spoons away!

It's not quite another novel but it sounds good... https://www.amazon.c...0a-e7b36e15ddc2


see? a little googling and you kept both kidneys!
Also, if you haven't yet, the comics tpbs are worth a look if you need a fixx



MASQUERADES OF SPRING novella, $7 and change on audible, Nightingale solo novella.... yes please thank you.

Apparently the audiobook is hitting before the physical release. Might have to get some more credits to tide me over until renewal in August.
