2 posts | 4 read
This eight-time Eisner Award-winning comic book series blending fantasy and humor features the adventures of paranormal pets investigating the horrors of Burden Hill. A heroic pack of canines known as the Wise Dogs sets off on a mission to clean up a Pennsylvania corridor plagued by seemingly unrelated occult disturbances that include a fire salamander and a horde of mutant lurkers. A link is found among the various disturbances, leading our heroes to a mountain village inhabited by a survivalist witch-cult who have discovered the existence of a "Blood Lure" attracting occult forces, creatures, and many more terrors to Burden Hill! Award-winning comics creators Evan Dorkin (Milk & Cheese) and Ben Dewey (The Autumnlands) come together to share the lives of some unlikely heroes. This volume collects the comic-book series Beasts of Burden: Wise Dogs and Eldritch Men issues #1-4, published by Dark Horse Comics.

Possibly surpassing the regular series in excitement and likable doggos, this Beasts of Burden spin-off adventure is a gory treat for the goodest bois.

This is beautifully illustrated and has good background information that answers questions that the first collection left open. It doesn‘t pull on my emotional heart strings as much as the first one, but in a way that‘s good. I don‘t like crying much. I think it‘s a bit more filler foe the series than stand alone, but definitely worth the read. 3.5/5 stars, read if you enjoy animal heroes and light horror. Note: NO graphic pet deaths.
