Anthropomorphic animals like you've never seen them before. It's Chinatown meets Animal Farm and just like the George Orwell classic Lunacek and Juren's animals are an allegory for today's world.
Private Investigator (and giraffe), Immanuel Diamond - Manny to his friends - has been asked by his uncle - an influential judge -- to track down a prey fantasy movie.

This was a fun read put together by two very talented creators. They managed to transport us into an old time detective story with a unique twist to it. This opening issue introduced some great characters and their world in an entertaining manner. Hopefully this is just the beginning of what could be a delightful series. Read Full Review
A first issue of any new comic is interesting. The writers need to establish new characters, place them in the setting, establish the tone and the themes of the comic, and so on.This is different in that the writers are not only doing that, they are building an entire new world in which to tell their stories. This is a fascinating effort from two incredible talents. It will be worth following to see if they can maintain this level of quality. For the time being, head out to your local comic shop this March to pick up the first issue and see how you like it! Read Full Review

Hopefully Lunacek and his partner Nejc Juren can hammer out their characters' voices and take the series down more interesting avenues. Read Full Review
