Yes, from this cover its true- The Dreadnoks are not nice to doggies. In this issue Junkyard and Mutt and Law & Order (the only 2 Joes with Dog sidekicks and I know what you’re thinking but Timber doesn’t count, he’s a wolf) are on the hunt for a suspected Dreadnok hideout in Jersey of all places. I’ll admit, I had to peek ahead and make sure Junkyard didn’t die. He does get seriously hurt, but not killed.
Anyway, that plot was
engrossing. The secondary plot about Zartan’s siblings running a Ponzi scheme
as real estate moguls is ludicrous! True, they are masters of disguise, but
really except for putting on business suits, the duo have their hot pink hair
and war paint on. There’s an old saying “you can put lipstick on a pig, but it’s
still a pig.” Maybe the artists are showing the siblings as they really are but
everyone else sees them like Donald Trump a la Quantum Leap so we know who is
who. That’s my “No Prize” solution. Let me know if I am wrong.
I really didn’t enjoy
this book. From the cover to the next to the last page, I hated it. I did like
the final page that reveals that yes, Junkyard survived and that Buzzer gets
his just rewards from Mutt for hurting the dog. Still, it didn’t save this from
being worth consuming.
Not Worth Consuming.
Rating: 4 out of 10
