The illustrations and witty banter are what make this story a delight to consume. Watch the facial expressions and pay attention to side conversations and you will enjoy this graphic novel for more than the main story line, which is relatively predictable. Allow the absurdities to take you away and enjoy giggling with nearly every page turn.
This comic features a barbarian warrior riding a giant pug, and a village destroyed by a rampaging baby seal the size of a small mountain. There's really nothing I can add to that.
Sometimes you just want something simple: and the naked lady tells a story about Conan and his giant pug seems like a simple story.
Its a pug.In battle! So it's a 4 star.
HA! This graphic novel is simply great! The cartooning is fantastic and who doesn't love a story that involves derpy dogs and REVENGE! I think the story is fantastic, but it skips forward in time too fast! I want to learn more about the hero and his heritage and his JOURNEY! One page he is 12 years old and the next he is grown. One page he is in the north of the land, and the next he is in the south. Looking forward to reading part 2 tonight!
this has been a roller coaster ride for me, and not in the fun sense. I bought this because, like most people, the phrase "Battlepug" brings with it all kinds of wonderful images. I bought it online, so didn't realize until it arrived that a third of the cover has a random naked lady on the cover, which usually puts me off. I swallowed my pride, and read it.And it sorta sucked. The story itself is a Conan-the-Barbarian type thing which pulls all it's laughs from the horse-sized titular pug, who,...
I've been meaning to read Battlepug for a while now, and it took our discussion of this on our July webcomics episode (http://comicsalternative.com/webcomic...) to get me to finally get to this. What a fun series!
Why's the french bulldog gotta be so mean?
ARC provided by NetGalley Our story beings like every great story does, up in the cold north where a young child whose village has been destroyed by a giant seal is rescued by an evil elf overlord. The child grows up in captivity but becomes strong till the day he wins his freedom and seeks revenge on those that destroyed his village. The young child, now a barbarian warrior, is adopted by a mighty battle pug and a Scribbly. Together they begin an adventure like no other as they seek out the evi...
Amazingly the BEST EVER I LOVE BATTLEPUG!
Very well drawn, but I don't find its affectations affecting. Maybe my general lack of interest in barbarians and dogs predisposes me to a lack of caring.
The story only picks up toward the end, and I have no idea why a naked woman is telling this story to two sentient dogs. Still, I did like that Santa is an evil despot forcing propaganda about himself to be circulated via his slaves.
Cute! Simple but beautiful artwork and adorable characters.
I have always suspected that baby harp seals were capable of a vicious brutality that certainly merited clubbing. Those big black eyes are pools of pure evil. Battlepug has proven my suspicions correct as it is a giant baby seal that merrily lays waste to an entire Arctic village, leaving only one survivor: a child hellbent on revenge against this monstrous beast. The child grows into a warrior and, as all warriors need a noble steed, it is not long before he discovers the brave animal who will
One of the dumbest things I have ever read.Bit of a "dead dove" moment though, not sure what I was expecting.I do admit some of the ridiculous frames with the adorable baby seal going Godzilla was pretty funny, and the creators are pretty spot on about the inherent ridiculousness of pugs, but the joke is not enough to sustain the painfully cliché and spectacularly boring plot which seems to have walked right out of some boilerplate beginner's guide D&D campaign. It's not worth the read.
I own a pug! So naturally when I discovered there was a graphic novel with a pug as its hero, I had to buy it. And not just an ordinary pug, but a massive pug, a Battlepug!! This was very cute. The plot is pretty typical: Battlepug and our warrior fight baddies. But I love any and all pug imagery. Naturally I will continue with this series.
This was surprisingly hilarious!!
To start - the drawing style is great. I really enjoyed the detail and though some characters are unabashedly cartoony (Scribbly, for example) the realism of even the most outlandish ones (the giant killer baby harp seal, for example) is terrific. However, the story itself is pretty silly. Why is Moll, the narrator naked throughout the entire thing? No reason that I can tell other for the T. and A. factor. Maybe that will be explained in later volimes? Also, why is it that Mingo, Colfax, and eve...
The story is interesting so far, I'm curious to see what happens next. I love the art style, the dogs are cute and the size of the main character's feet compared to his body makes me laugh.
