I admit that I'm crazy about dogs. I've had four in my lifetime, each one a treasured family member - so this story, loaded with humor and a genuine affection for "Man's Best Friend" makes for a heckuva treat.
It follows a young man named Andy who's struggling with the bad decisions in his life - but then he adopts Hank, a Welsh Corgi, and he life begins to change.
The changes are both small and large, as he finds (through a mystic mishap) that he's able to merge with Hank, so they becomes a small but powerful super-hero.
It's a sweet story from Kurt Busiek as we see how a friend - even a tiny one - can change a life.
The guest artist is Mike Norton, and he was born to craft this kind of down-to-Earth, street-level tale of adventure and affection.
I just kept smiling through the whole story - so of course I wasn't prepared at all for that final page, which any dog owner can relate to.
What a fun issue - one of the year's best! Highly recommended!
