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....

....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!
