In a land like ours, but much more fanciful, a curious chihuahua (okay, he's a mutt) and an adventuresome cavy (okay, he's really a muskrat) find a mysterious baby creature, they take it to their council of elders. There, they learn that they baby, named Yet by the chihuahua, is from a race of ancient creatures. Over time, these creatures retreated to the great tree positioned in the center of these magical lands. Taking upon themselves, the intrepid pup and rodent are going to take an airship to reunite Yet with his people. Just whatever you do, don't call the ancient ones dragons! Call them Yets!
The opening chapter of artist and writer Mike Bocianowski's 2003 series was a heartwarming tale. Full of adventure, laughs, and myth, Yets! is a series that I think had it been published by a more well known Indy publisher, it would have been a beloved series amongst fans of works like Bone and Castle Waiting. I've never heard of publisher Airwave Comics and I think that's why this book is relatively an unknown entity.
I got lucky finding this book (and it's two sister issues) in a bargain bin. And they were all autographed too! I can't wait to read the other two books. If they are half as fanciful and fun as this issue, I am in for a treat!
Worth Consuming!
Rating: 9 out of 10 stars.
