review:

'Apocalypse Bow Wow' is a series of comics about a couple of dogs, Brownie and Apollo, after the apocalypse has hit. It's a very fast read with lots of white space on every page, and while the subject is a bit morbid, it's not inappropriate for younger readers.



The end has come. Humans have simply vanished. We don't know how or why. Two housebound dogs don't seem too concerned, at least at first. Eventually it dawns on them that they might need to go look for food. How they get out of the house is pretty funny. As is how they form alliances in this new world order. There are standoffs in grocery aisles and fights with intruders, but all told in a kid friendly way.



It's a very fast 224 pages, with many pages only having only one panel on them. Each page has a lot of white space around the images, but it's currently under 7 bucks for the kindle version, so you'll have to decide if it's worth the money. It's a grim set up, but it's handled in a very kid friendly way. With the current craze on survivalist/zombie/post-apoc for the grownups, it was only a matter of time before something showed up for the kids. As long as yours aren't going to feel bad that the humans are gone, or the dogs have to fend for themselves, they might get a kick out of this.



I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Bloomsbury USA Children's Books and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
