Science Dog Vol. 1

I picked this up because it had Robert Kirkman’s name on it; The Walking Dead anybody.  Unlike Bryan K. Vaughan not everything Kirkman writes is gold with the exception of The Walking Dead.  This story reads like a missing chapter of a larger story & for that there is no real payoff to this story.  The main character is actually kind of cool & his origin is explained early on is the story but everything he does is for selfish reasons that don’t really seem fleshed out enough.  If you like a good time travel tale that is simple & straight forward then you’ll like this, but don’t expect much depth or character development.  I found out after the fact that this is spin-off of Kirkman’s Invincible series, maybe this will make more sense if I read that series as well.
