Stray Dogs #5

Looking forward to the trade paperback edition of this and I would buy a physical copy of this for my collection, something that I rarely do as shipping times to Australia are so long and I have no idea when it actually comes out here. Read Full Review

This series caught me totally by surprise if I am honest. The mix of cute dogs and tense and scary situations wouldn't normally float my boat; Yet Fleecs, Forstner and crew have delivered a book that has made me laugh, gasp, smile and cry. Put simply, this has to be one of, if not the best series of this year! Read Full Review

Forstner delivers some beautiful art throughout this issue. The animation style of the art was always disarming and brilliant considering the subject matter, but the final issue manages to keep the charm of the character design while mixing in some exciting and suspenseful imagery.

Stray Dogs has been one of my absolute favorite books of 2021, and it delivered all the way to the end. Read Full Review

'Stray Dogs' ends as only it could. It's a satisfying conclusion to one of the most riveting comics of 2021. It actually lived up to the hype going into the series and surpassed my expectations redefining what comic book thrillers can look like. They took a clever twist and wrung out every last chilling element to create a hard-to-put-down, pageturner, full of menace, and thrills. This is one of those series that should be cherished in a trade, shared, and gifted to everyone you know.  Read Full Review

Stray Dogs is honestly a series that came out of nowhere, and I would've been so sad to have missed out on it's brilliance. It is a series that grabs your attention and holds it. Brava on such a wonderful end. Read Full Review

As we know from the movie All Dogs Go To Heaven and let's hope that one day Forstner shows Earl, Victor and the other canine victims playing in their final reward. It's a very satisfying conclusion and if you don't put the comic down at the end and pat your own dog immediately perhaps you are as much of a monster as Master? Read Full Review

Stray Dogs #5 is a solid ending to the series. It wraps things up nicely with an emotional rollercoaster that at times tugs at heartstrings. But, the issue doesn't quite stand on its own. It feels like returning to a film “after the break” and in ways is a little unsatisfying as a stand alone issue. Yes, it's part of a single story but it's a single story broken up in issues and in this case the issue itself feels a little thin. But, it works so well as part of the whole. If you haven't read the single issues, it's a story that sticks the landing and will be a collection that's well worth picking up when released. Read Full Review

Stray Dogs #5 is a nail-biter right to the end, especially if you are a dog lover. The dogs are sympathetic and heroic without ever losing their dogginess. The ending is well-crafted and doesn't cheat the story. Even better, there is a hint of a new Stray Dogs book to come in the future. Read Full Review

This series is a masterpiece in storytelling. It’s ok if you cry. Can’t wait for the next series

Jeez, this is going to make me cry. It's a strong ending with equal parts tragedy and rejoicing.

This book surprised me drastically. The art style is very Disney-esque, some wonderful drawings that make it seem like it would be a reasonable pick up for younger readers (It isn't!) However I think that charm is what makes the darker moments seem mortifying. Imagine watching 101 Dalmatians, but instead of the wholesome happy ending, the owners were killed and not all of the dogs make it out alive. This issue finishes off the story wonderfully, the suspense built over the few months finally has its conclusion, after thinking of the countless directions this could have gone, the writers hit home and leave a positive note in the readers mind.

Yea im with everyone else. This is great. Very simple sorry but haunting. Not for the faint of heart especially animal lovers with pets of their own

OH gods! I hate this book, the subject may be interesting but I don't have the stomach to read it, it is a book with art for children and a rugged subject such as the mistreatment of animals. I feel sick. Maybe I'm being unfair, maybe I shouldn't have touched this comic, but I can't give more rate , not when I have rescued animals of monsters who burn them, beat them or throw them from a third story by falling on the roof of a car.
