Review of 'Dogs of War' on 'Storygraph'

3 stars

Pretty much the first graphic novel I've read.

The stories were meh, I definitely enjoyed the last one the most. I feel like the plots were a bit predictable, and some of the characters didn't remain consistent. But it did do a good job of being a nice, quick introductory book to the topic. Left me wanting to learn more.

For the most part, I enjoyed the illustrations. There were a few parts that left me a bit confused. Not sure if that was intentional to simulate the confusion of war or whatever, but I didn't entirely understand what exactly was happening during some parts. Although I will say, the dogs were all adorable. Especially little Bouncer. I want Bouncer.
