![]() ![]() ![]() Recasting Dog Man and his feline ward, Li’l Petey, as costumed superheroes, Pilkey looks East of Eden in this follow-up to Tale of Two Kitties (2017). ![]() Though a strong first installment, this lacks a bit of the charm his last few books ( Tommysaurus Rex, 2013 Cardboard, 2012 Ghostopolis, 2010) have had, though it certainly doesn't lose any of TenNapel's trademark brilliant imagination.Ī promising first offering now let's see where it goes. With this first in a new series, TenNapel has seamlessly transitioned his webcomic into print and masterfully blends just the right amount of exposition and plot to effectively hook new readers. Transformed by his ingenuity, sheer will and a bit of his own magic, Herk ventures out into the unknown to avenge his family. Change comes quickly for Herk when one day a savage band of Lizzarks-a fearsome race of lizardlike creatures-descends upon his home and his village. ![]() However, Herk's legs are a bit too small, and he can't make it out of the water to walk on land with the other Nnewts. Herk lives a happy life, spending his days with his beloved mother and magician father, helping them watch over their eggs and playing with his dear sister, Sissy. In a richly imagined amphibian-vs.-reptile world, Herk, a small, but plucky Nnewt, must face the viciously villainous Lizzarks after they destroy all that he holds dear. ![]()
