Moon Dogs #1 is an awesome read, with not only a great story, but also a great message. Tananarive Due mixes in the very real world message of being treated differently and less than because of being "different with a really good werewolf tale. The message is intertwined so well into this story that it never is over bearing, but at the same time it is ever present. A true masterful work. Read Full Review

I loved the writing and the world building and the general plot. The characters are easily likeable/hateable and well defined. The story is well developed and efficient. I would definitely pick this up every month if it became a regular series.
My one complaint is the art. My god it was atrocious. Looked like a child's doodles. Some of the worst art I've seen in a comic from a main publisher in a while. Luckily the writing and story made up for it, because this was one ugly book.
