BONUS REVIEW by Kevin Healy
 Beasts of Burden is a fairly long running series of stories from writer Evan Dorkin (Dork, Milk and Cheese, Eltingville Club, Predator:Bad Blood. No, really.) The premise is simple-there are monsters in the world, there are animals who are aware and fight those monsters, protecting not just their humans but the Earth itself. These are not tales for the family friendly audience. They are instead horror stories for a modern age, with love, loss, betrayal, and sacrifice. Much is done for the greater good. Many results are based around the lesser evil. Normally, Jill Thompson would be here to paint some lovely artwork. She's missed, but Benjamin Dewey steps in and steps up, keeping the tone w/out missing a beat. Recommended for fans of WE3, Red Rover Charlie, and especially Hellboy. I give it 8 out of 10 Grahams VERY FINE/NEAR MINT
