ACTION LAB: DOG OF WONDER

ISSUE #1

PUBLISHER: ACTION LAB ENTERTAINMENT

WRITERS: VITO DELSANTE, SCOTT FOGG

ART: ROSY HIGGINS, TED BRANDT

Over the last few years I have found that some of my favorite indie Titles (Dry Spell, The Final Plague, Southern Dog, Strays, Ghost Town) have been put out by Action Lab. In fact they also publish Charles Band’s Puppet Master and Trancers (Yeah!). Action Lab has produced such quality work, that I usually pick up the first issue of each title they release, just to check it out.

So, when I found out about Action Lab: Dog of Wonder, I had it put on my pull list.

The title is written by Vito Delsante and Scott Fogg with art by Rosy Higgins and Ted Brandt.
Simply put, this is a Wonderful title. Pitch Perfect in fact. I can help but stating this here:

ACTION LAB: DOG OF WONDER IS REQUIRED READING!
REQUIRED!!

Action Lab: Dog of Wonder is about a Labrador who comes to the help of others dogs in need. In this issue, he rescues a former bait dog from a country Animal Control Shelter who is scheduled to be put down because he is considered unadoptable.

The story is great, the right blend of action, humor and drama. Even though the artwork is not my favorite style and a little soft, it suits the story.

While it may appear this is a children’ comics, I would call it more all ages. At least this 41 year-old Ace Masters loved it.

The best part about the book is it touches on a few tough issues and still remains kid friendly.

FINAL THOUGHTS:
If you love comics, read. If you love and/or have dogs, read. If you have kids, read with them.

REQUIRED READING! REQUIRED!!

RATING: 8.5
