![]() ![]() ![]() Returning for all but one issue is Beasts Of Burden originator Jill Thompson, whose beautifully painted pages are the lynchpin that holds the series together. The Presence Of Others is probably the strongest story since it has the most pages to expand, but there isn’t a bad tale in the bunch. ![]() Whether it’s the witches Familiars in What The Cat Dragged In or the fresh perspective on the Beasts that Hellboy offers in Sacrifice, there’s a lot to enjoy here. With the release of this third hardcover, all of the Beasts Of Burden stories that currently exist have been collected, and I couldn’t be happier.Ĭollecting all of the one-shots between the original series and last year’s Wise Dogs & Eldritch Men, as well as the two issue The Presence Of Others story from earlier this year, this collection can feel a little disjointed, since it’s so many separate stories at once, but the overriding theme (that humans are stupid and should stop messing with things they don’t understand) is prevalent throughout, and the shifting focus across the series’ many protagonists makes for a varied reading experience as well. ![]()
