5/10/2023 0 Comments Battlepug by Mike Norton![]() ![]() ![]() As he travels, he collects a ragtag group of friends including a foulmouthed young girl and an elderly man who doesn’t appear to be entirely in touch with reality. Battlepug: The Compugdium, out this week from Image Comics, collects the full webcomic that Norton published from 2011 to 2016, telling a story of revenge and found family dotted with giant, often adorable animals like the titular pugs.īattlepug revolves around The Warrior, a Conan the Barbarian-type figure and the surviving member of the Kinimundian Tribe, bent on getting revenge for the death of his people. But Norton’s rich sense of humor and affection for sword-and-sorcery stories turns what could have been a quick joke into an adventurous and emotional journey across an imaginative world. At first glance, it would be easy to confuse Mike Norton’s Battlepug for a one-note gag comic: the sight of a burly barbarian atop of a horse-sized pug enough to give anyone a good chuckle. ![]()
