Excellent. Blain is a great choice as artist on this stuff, and the combination of the darker tone and the wacky action really works well.
Surprisingly sexually explicit, or maybe not "explicit" but there's a lot more sex than you'd expect from the run of the mill "funny animal" book (though I think that Dungeon transcends that genre in almost every possible way).
Another plus is that these "early years" stories escape the overly-complex chronolo...more

Daaang dude. This is just what I needed. It does jump forward a lot from the first Early Years book. And then jumps again. But it's easy to figure out.
Is it weird that I dig these anthropomorphic sex scenes? Not in like... a furry way. Like a Maus kind of way. Uh.
Anyway. Something about this book was perfect. There seemed to be more action, more sex, more of that blunt Trondheim/Sfar humor, and more of the Dungeon Keeper's origin story.

This one covers a lot of time, and sort of jumps the story forward a bit. I kind of wish it had moved a little more slowly, I would have liked more adventures of the Night Shirt. That said, this is still great stuff, as we start to really see the tragic events that lead to Hyacinthe's rise (decline?) from vigilante hero to master of the Dungeon. (What, it's not a spoiler, you knew that was coming, right?)

This had a lot more adult themes than I'd expected. Hyacinth "The Nightshirt" gets a social disease, rescues a fair mare(?) from some lawless rabbits, is rescued by his lady fair, and smokes all kinds of substances to enhance his powers. Hyacinth definitely loses some innocence points in this installment.
The authors skip years (if not decades) of the Keeper's life between the two stories, but in doing so, we lose out on his transformation. Too much left unsaid.
They like to lull you with all the volumes that are funny and clever and charming, only to spring on you with the occasional sad or upsetting ones!
More wonderful convoluted adventures with colorful art, humor and great characters! For mature readers. ;)
Sfar & Trondheim can't return to the Early Years timeline soon enough.
man, I really dig that Christophe Blain!
Being greedy for more of these characters and their evolution, I wish there wasn't the big jump in time in the middle of the book. It's great to finally have some more of this story.
