It is a unique title and it suits Dark Horse to see it through with an excellent presentation of Thompson's work. I agree with Sarah--the cutesy stuff mixed with the dark, gory paranormal plots is excellent. Kudos to Dark Horse for putting out the book, and to Thompson and Dorkin for these great comics in an otherwise slightly slow season. I loved the first and second issue of Beasts of Burden.

It reads quickly, but forces the reader to focus on the artwork, which in this case is a good thing. The dogs and cats are humanized, a fresh perspective not often seen in this medium. While I enjoyed the characters, it left me wanting to delve into each of their histories, and hungry for the next issue. A supernatural story with dog and cat detectives? What's not to love? Thanks to Mr. Dorkin and Ms. Thompson for releasing a magical tale. After hesitating to read this issue after two weeks I’m glad I was finally able to.
