Half-sized minicomic with thread binding.

A pair of Corgies Templar (what it sounds like: anthropomorphic dogs belonging to a militant religious order) are on a quest to recover holy relics of the saints and to return them to the order's headquarters for safe keeping.

Their latest quest has brought them to a lonely tower on the edge of the steppes, where they must survive a harrowing encounter with a giant millipede. Not a centipede. This critter has four legs per segment. Millipede all the way.

The artwork is great throughout, the story is fun with a nice twist at the end, and the characters are quirky and interesting.

The story also had a running series of fart jokes, which would normally be a major strike against it for me, but it was well-written enough that I enjoyed the story in spite of that particular brand of humor not being to my taste.

This was a fun and offbeat fantasy story. Definitely worth a look.

Rating: 7.5/10
