Sixpack and the gang are ready to accompany Dogwelder to the tombs of the pharaohs in search of his true mission. At least, that's what John Constantine told them they're doing, and he's pals with the Justice League, so he oughta know a thing or two about missions. Dogwelder, unfortunately, has other plans, some as mysterious as the Sphinx.
Delving deeper in Dogwelder's past proves to be an awkward experience, which I suppose we could have expected. But we don't just take a look at Dogwelder the man, but Dogwelder the institution! With gorgeous artwork that captures expressions and gross-outs with equal skill, it's not tough to see why I read this book first every month! Read Full Review
It's good though not great. The humor is lighter than previous issues with much of it being visual gags rather than clever bits of dialogue or commentary on superheroes. It does progress the plot of Dogwelder well and is entertaining none the less. Read Full Review
Russ Brauns work continues to be wacky and crisp at the same time. I like the energy in his work. He can do super heroics but also wacky comedies featuring regular people and backyard swimming pools. The cover is by the late Steve Dillon. Always a pleasure to see his work grace some comic. For years he was only within the pages while Glenn Fabry drew the cover all of his Hellblazer comics.

As a fan of Ennis, I was really hoping that this book was going somewhere. I am really rooting for it go somewhere. I thought with the Dogwelder stuff it was heading down a road to somewhere. I am not sure it is on the road. There is a lot of tongue-in-cheek stuff happening that is absolutely brilliant, but then there are pages and pages of nothing happening with dialogue that is not fun or clever. Read Full Review
