A light-hearted fantasy, by which I mean it's got Putin controlling a puppet Trump (until he loses both his hands, that is). Apparently this is a thing, and an ongoing series at that, but this was quite a reasonable jumping-on place, with the last Barbarian – sorry, Cimmerian, sorry, whatever he is – and his back-story forcing just one more fight, a fight his friends and loved ones don't think he will win. Cue a lot of controlling nature a la Poison Ivy/Swamp Thing, a baddie with all the colouri...
If you like your sword n' sorcery tropes well skewered (or just plain skewed) and liberally salted with pop culture then you should read Battlepug! Hilarious and addictive!
Ehhh. Thought it had potential but it really failed to live up to it. Battlepug is essentially a parody of Conan the Barbarian-styled stories with a huge powerful scantily clad man engaging in violent battles. Except this one's got a gigantic pug that he rides around with as a steed. As a premise it's positively delightful but in execution I felt like it was lacking.Problems begin immediately in the first issue with the introduction of a minor villain who bears a striking resemblance to one Vlad...
lolwut?Kinda just the ridiculous shenanigans I needed right now.
Nothing wrong with having a little fun, especially if it accompanies a giant pug. After the events of the main Battlepug series, the Conan-pastiche looks like he might have peace. For all the world ending threat there's plenty of fun to be found with all of the surreal things. For every serious situation like a maniac looking to conquer something, you find that their plans and the means to get them are the right combination of feelings of humor and tragedy if it comes to the mundane. Because wit...
Mike Norton's Conan knock-off and his boggle-eyed steed return in an uneven outing which, much like Pullman's Book of Dust, confirms the difficulty of trying to tell new stories in a fantasy world that was built as the setting for one specific tale. The original Battlepug had a structural neatness (the narrator and her two small dogs, the hero and his one large one) and also a thematic unity, where the big threats tended to be destructive leviathans, but also really cute. Now, the narrator has b...
This is my first exposure to the Battlepug universe. It was fast-paced and fun. It took some interesting twists and turns and had me laughing out loud more than once. I plan on going back and reading the original five volumes of the series. I suggest reading them before getting involved with this War on Christmas as I was a bit lost at times not having done so.
Störtskön serie som jag aldrig har hört talas om och som jag helt i blindo köpte på årets bokrea hos SF-Bokhandeln enbart för att albumet var så billigt, hade ett coolt omslag och för att hela premissen var så skruvad att jag helt enkelt inte kunde låta bli. Väldigt bra handling med fokus på klassisk fantasy, humor och inslag av både SF och skräck. Väldigt bra skriven dialog och ännu bättre tecknad. Jag har redan via andra alternativa vattenhål hittat dom serier som föregick denna julspecialare
