Wow, this one starts off surprisingly dark. I was actually a little worried for the first third, until our plucky heroine and her adorable sidekick intervened. Again, this is so much better than you might think - it's not just cute, and it resembles Bone in the best possible way. Even though this one is a little darker than the last, I still think it makes an excellent all ages book, and another triumph for the dialogue less graphic novel. Christian Slade is really impressive.
This was an imaginative graphic novel. It is set in a magical woodland where little hobbit-like folks ride around on Welsh Corgi's. This story focuses on a misguided alien and his stash of robots who goe around shooting off the magical fairies' wings. Never fear, Corgis to the rescue! Definite appeal to: dog lovers, graphic novel lovers (the illustrations are remarkable) young fans of Lord of the Rings. and fantasy lovers in general.
The charming illustrations are an absolute delight.
However, unless the Korgis' world is populated by only naturally stub-tailed specimens, I do wish the artist would have let her corgis keep their beautiful, foxlike tails.

One Sentence Review: I enjoyed this more than the previous Korgi graphic novel, probably because the alien collector was so out-and-out WEIRD that it bumped the book up from "normal and sweet" to "omigod what the heck is going on?????".
I enjoyed the science-fiction/fantasy combination of this volume. Nothing like an alien and his (her?) robot army invading the land of sweet fairies and fire-breathing corgis. Can't wait for the next installment.

This is TERRIFYING!!!
And awesome, but mostly terrifying!
This shouldn't definitely be older kids or incredibly brave toddlers.
It is incredible how much of a narrative can be established with just illustrations.

This is a great story. What makes it really good and fresh is that there is NO dialogue, NO text; the story is told entirely through sequential illustrations.
The illustrations simply could not be any more delightful. And I already have a soft spot for corgis, since we had one for a pet as I grew up.
3.5. Um, what? Fairies stalked by creeptastic alien? Preferred the first, but see the appeal. Still love the art.
In this second Korgi book, we have more of Slade's great artwork. This one introduces a rather Lovecraftian villain.
Scarier than the first I think--all those tentacles! Good stuff.
Great unexpected direction in the second book.
Now there are robots? WTF?
I was enchanted by the first Korgi, and this one was no different. The art is still mesmerizing in its sweetness, and as a lover of dogs and fairies, I can't resist it. This wordless graphic novel is a must-read for anybody who, like me, treasures beautiful art.

I don't know what the alien was doing, stripping wings from the mollies (vicious and childish, ick), but the alien was seriously creepy and made a nice foil for the adorable korgis.

So cute! My grandmother got it for me for Christmas. I know it doesn't have any words, but that's half the fun!

Oh, this was so beautiful and wonderful and adorable and the best book about fire-breathing dogs, winged girls, aliens, gnomes, sea monsters, and robots I have read all year.

As a boy growing up in New Jersey, Christian Slade carried his sketchbook everywhere he went. It was said that he sometimes lived in another world, and it was this other world within the pages of his sketchbook that inspired him to draw from his imagination and the world around him. After thirty years, not much has changed. A former Disney animator and currently a full-time freelance illustrator, ...more
