Graphic novel review: Strontium dog - The Kreeler conspiracy by John Wagner and Carlos Ezquerra

Genre: Sci fi / Adventure, British comic from publisher 2000 A.D.

This book collects 3 Strontium dog adventures from the 2000 A.D. comic series. The progs are 1174-1180, 1195-1199 (1999-2000). The subtitle of this collection, The Kreeler conspiracy is the first of three stories in the collection. The middle story is in black and white while the rest are colored.

The first story - The Kreeler conspiracy has a functional story, nothing innovative or new here. The art is above average.

The second story - Roadhouse has a pretty loopy story which I find is kind off a trade mark of 2000 A.D. stories. The story is again pretty average. I liked the black and white art in the story which I thought was excellent.

The third story - The tax dodge is again typically loopy and I think it is the best of this collection. It is not great but is above average. The art in this story is good.

All in all the collection is pretty average. If you are a Strontium dog fan, get it. For the rest of the folks I don't think its a good enough introduction to the Character.

Rating: 2.5 / 5, Average - Only fans of Strontium dog should consider getting it. Everyone else skip it.
