fjordic's review against another edition
Lovely artwork but not enough story to keep me interested.

Very cute and funny. I liked all the mythology, and the quests Hannu and Ville have to go on, and how a lot of the time each situation is not necessairly solved in an obvious way. I was a bit sad for Ville chnaging forms though - I feel like he would have been happiest staying as a dog.

The plot isn't as engrossing as Stand Still, Stay Silent. But the art is just as beautiful, and the ties to Finnish mythology were quite interesting.

A good story about a boy and his dog, but is very ablest and repeatedly used retarded as an insult.

More like 3,5 - great art but the story dragged on too long and was very - unnecessarily - repetitive. Nice ending, though.

Such a beautiful comic! After reading it, I felt I had to write a thank you note to the person who recommended it to me. Allow me to do you the same favor by suggesting you read it as soon as you possibly can.

Stunningly gorgeous artwork. The main character's depression was pretty intense to see, but his dog Ville counterbalanced that darkness with love and loyalty. I was struck by the way they kept showing up for each other. And I really cannot say enough about the artwork, the colors, the COLORS, the skill it took, I can't believe it only took two years! HOW??? Did Sundberg paint day and night? Did she clone herself? I am in awe of her.
