The Doberman, one of the world's greatest heroes, has been killed...but by whom? And where has his former sidekick, the Rottweiler, been? Will he avenge his mentor's death
STRAY #1, available now on ComiXology, is a thoughtful and soulful feast of visual storytelling. The art is gorgeous beyond anything we've ever seen for an indie project, and the writing reflects a rare combination of care and imagination. Read Full Review
Running 25 full-color pages for only $0.99 (0.69 in the UK), Stray #1 is ridiculously great value. It provides a strong spring-board for what promises to be a fulfilling series and, although it suffers a little from its unoriginality, there's enough room here for Delsante to put a new spin on a worn tale as the series progresses.

Stray #1 demonstrates that if the book can continue to handle its use of flashback and present day storytellingwe're in for afun and interesting ride. Read Full Review

The true test of any first issue is if you'd be willing to come back for more. I would, and I think you will to. Stray #1 has a ton of intriguing elements, a slick and likeable main character, and a mystery that I'm sure will be revealed slowly and painfully. So while Stray unashamedly reads like Nightwing at times, it uses an amalgam of the character to develop its own mystery, and one that is, if not original, at least intriguing. Read Full Review
I enjoyed the story for what it was. The situation between Doberman and Rottweiler reminded me a lot of Big Daddy and Hit-Girl in Kickass. Definitely enjoyed the artwork from Khary Randolph (Tech Jacket, Justice League Beyond 2.0), Sean Izaakse, and all the others. Hey! I was initially skeptical because of the dog motif, but the storyline has potential. Read Full Review
As a concept, Stray has enormous potential and I wanted to love it, but it this issue feels too familiar and doesn't bring enough of it's own spin to this familiar tale. Read Full Review
Stray does some things well. When showing its Justice League analogue, there's a female Asian superhero and a black superhero, which, it's always nice to see some diversity. The story itself is good, and is an interesting one to follow, if the book can move past its influences and become its own thing. I'll pick up the next one to see what's what, but I can't say I'd recommend the first one to anyone looking for a new title. Read Full Review
