Most of its taken up with the Bubba/Rage saga, book-ended with a couple of shorter but very enjoyable stories. Wulf gets an origin story, Johnny goes on a galaxy-wide rampage, Alan Grant's writing is at its best (the humour and grit are perfectly balanced) and its all brilliantly drawn by Carlos Ezquerra! <br/><br/>The bonus material is comprised of the usual below par annual stories, but hey, its bonus material.

Highly amusing, although heart-wrenching in parts, it is a wonderfully gripping story that you and your children will want to read over and over again. In fact, this brilliant book has all the ingredients to make a great classic movie. You read it here first.

There is plenty of practical advice about the needs of the dog as well as interesting history on the breed. Watch out though - if you haven't already got a Bernese, you will want one once you've read this book and seen the inspiring photos. Don't bother buying this book if you live in a flat.

This is some of the best stuff 2000AD ever did, and a contender for collected edition of the year. Like all the Strontium Dog stories, it's wildly imaginative, mad, violent, hilarious and absurd; and this one is occasionally chilling too. If you enjoy comics, you NEED this, I can't stress that enough. <br/><br/>After you've read it, a fun thing to do with old Strontium Dog is to give it to a kid and observe their consciousness expanding.

Who else could do justice to descriptions like, 'The Forest of a Thousand Sniffs', and 'Kennelworth Castle, a vast mansion who's walls are made of sausages'. <br/>Our hero may only be a humble black labrador, but as he bravely battles against the odds, he portrays all the noble qualities of the bravest, toughest action movie star. <br/>Maybe Jack will have a romance with a cute brown labrador in the sequel? It makes you wonder what their puppies will look like? I'm panting in anticipation.<br/>Roll on Jack 2. This is delightful and just begs to be made into an animated movie.

Alan Grant continues the galactic adventures of mutant bounty hunter Johnny Alpha and his Viking partner, Wulf Sternhammer in a collection of brilliant stories. Once again, Grant’s stories are original and exciting, and Carlos Ezquerra’s trademark artwork is spectacular.

Included in this Volume are fantastic stories such as “The Slavers of Drule”, “The Incident on Mayger Minor”, “The Ragnarok Job” and “Rage”.

Every story in the book is great, but the stand-out ones have to be “The Ragnarok Job” and “Rage”.

“The Ragnarok Job” is a time-travelling tale where we are told the origin of Johnny’s long-standing partnership with Wulf (and which culminates, in a bitter twist, with the Viking’s death at the hands of the evil mutant Max Bubba, who Johnny was contracted to travel back in time to capture).

“Rage” is the follow-on, where Johnny hunts down Bubba’s gang to carry out a terrible and ruthless revenge. (You can almost feel Johnny’s anger and hatred at Wulf’s killers!).

If the book had a weak point, I would say that it is the final story, “War Zone”. It’s a good idea, but the story is way too short and could have done with filling out some more.

Personally I prefer Volume 2, which includes some of my favourite stories, but this is still superb.

I expect that Volume 4 will be the final one, and I can’t wait to get my hands (or should I say paws) on it.

This is Strontium Dog at its very best. Alpha fans will not be disappointed!

]]> Comment on Raw Dog Food: Making It Work for You and Your Dog by Fiducia http://www.dogworms.co.uk/raw-dog-food-making-it-work-for-you-and-your-dog/comment-page-1/#comment-71 Fiducia Thu, 06 Aug 2009 14:03:24 +0000 http://www.dogworms.co.uk/raw-dog-food-making-it-work-for-you-and-your-dog/#comment-71 </div> This is one of two books that I bought on raw feeding. The author has researched the subject extensively and uses her own dogs/experience as evidence of the diet results. Its nice to have a book that shows the raw diet being put into practice and was useful to read her experience of converting her dogs from a conventional diet to the raw one and gives tips along the way. I highly recommend this book to anyone considering the diet especialy if they have an older dog who has been on a conventional diet for a while and they what to change to raw.
