This book is a great graphic novel standalone. It asks a moral question, has plenty of action, and makes you feel emotional.

Well drawn and the story moves along like the best action film. At the same time, the story itself was so sad. It reminded me of the film Project X.
My first Morrison, and jeez, what a way to start. I might need tocry my eyes out for a couple of days.
I think this could have used 4 issues for the audience to really feel the impact, but it definitely worked as is.

This was a very good graphic novel. The characters were all engaging on an emotional level and the writing was clever and balanced, bringing a sense of tragedy in a story about furry animals without ever veering into schmaltzy storytelling.
One of the most interesting aspects of the novel is how Grant Morrison plays with time and space within the graphic layout. Most scenes are told from an animal's perspective so not only do we get tight human mouths and crotches but time itself is altered. It is more complicated to explain than it is to see but the effect is fascinating. Using the backdrop of a simple chase story, Morrison, through his use of alternating time perspectives, orbits certain signifiers of meaning (e.g. "home," "gud") and calls them into question.
I could go on. There were quite a few ideas packed into this little story both visual and intellectual which stemmed from a fundamental meditation/reinvention of several signifiers (war/peace, animal/human, time, identity, ownership).
I definitely recommend this book, especially if you like your cool factor violence mixed with postmodernism.
