The paranormal activity in the outwardly charming town of Burden Hill has gone from bad to worse, as seen in Dorkin and Thompson’s hardcover graphic novel Beasts of Burden: Animal Rites. Now the occult-investigating team of dogs (and one cat) need some serious help. Contact with the Wise Dog Society has broken off, leaving the team on its own, as a series of unexplained animal slayings have begun to occur. But magic can work in surprising ways, and help is brought to the team with the unexpected arrival of the World’s Greatest Paranormal Detective.
Evan Dorkin (Milk and Cheese, Bizarro World) and Jill Thompson (Scary Godmother, Magic Trixie) join forces with Mike Mignola (Hellboy, B.P.R.D., Witchfinder, Baltimore) in an amazing one-shot bringing their supernatural worlds together!

Sure, why not. I've already nominated everything else in Previews, what's one more.  Cheesy

LOL yeah. It may not get my overall vote as I try and vote on something new, but why not.

[deadcowaroma]

I can't NOT vote for the Top Cow book. 6 issues for $5? That beats everything.

...Although I will also get the Turok and the Liberty Comics.

[David]

I can't NOT vote for the Top Cow book. 6 issues for $5? That beats everything.

That's what I'm thinking.  I can spend five bucks* for 48 pages or 160 pages.  Yeah, I'm so torn on that.


*Retail.  And yes, I know Liberty Comics is for a good cause and this year will be no different for me.  Regardless of the winner, I'm still buying the Liberty Comics book.

And yes, I know Liberty Comics is for a good cause and this year will be no different for me.  Regardless of the winner, I'm still buying the Liberty Comics book.

Yea exactly, I buy the Liberty Comics every year it's come out. That wouldn't be stretching for me. 6 Top Cow books though? I don't buy any right now, so I think it counts. 

[Dave A]

Yup, the Top Cow book for me as well. That book pretty much exemplifies the whole idea behind the Comic of the Month for me. 

[jonny the homicidal drummer]

[JoeyN]

Yep Top Cow was my pick, though liberty comics will be bought as well.
