really liked it

Me: This concept sounds dumb.

Dog: 1 Protect

Me: Fuck....FUCK!

Okay hold the horses here. We got a Grant Morrison book here. You all know my feelings on him. I dislike a lot of his shit. Weird doesn't even cover what he mostly does. However this time we get a book about 3 animals who work for the government as special units to take out scum and the story is very very straightforward. Almost to a point it might be a little too "safe"

So why the high rating? BECAUSE IT HITS YOU WITH FEELS.

For some reason animals like dogs, cats, and even our cute little rabbit feel so innocent despite them being able to fuck up an entire drug cartel. You got Dog, Cat, and Rabbit and then humanity at it's worst. They used these poor animals for their dirty work then wanna get rid of them. They escape and tus a chase begins.

The art is fucking stunning. I expect nothing less from Jupiter's Legacy artist. I mean the fights, the emotions, the multipanaled big splash moments are stunning to say the least. Everyone gives the emotional draw each and every panel. The art is truly the highlight.

The story itself is simple and predictable. However all the emotion put into these moments. When Dog (1) protects Cat/Rabbit (2 and 3) it's so damn awesome. Not to mention when they work as a unit they are fucking badass. You get to see morals questioned and what's right and wrong, which I always enjoy.

A very pleasant surprise to say the least. This is easily the best I read from Grant and just wished he'd write more like this. Damn it Morrison just write fucking normal stories you obviously can do a good job!

Donovan Thing about Morrison is, there are a lot of normal stories already. That's why he writes crazy shit, just to be different. They're not always accessible, or even easy to understand, but he obviously doesn't care. That said, he does occasionally write a "normal" story but still makes it great. All Star Superman is also great and more normal.

Yeah I just dislike that he tries too hard to make "crazy". Like feel try hard.

Donovan Oh I totally get it. It's basically what you call overwriting. He tends to overwrite like crazy. But I figure if I still enjoy it then who cares : )

Yep, that's all that counts.
