Artful Carnage, December 4, 2009
This review is from: Dogs: Bullets & Carnage, Volume 1 (Paperback)
After seeing that the only review on this book was left by someone complaining of it being confusing after reading it, but not the first book in the series, I felt I needed to give my two cents. You can't start watching a movie in the middle then complain that you don't know what's going on. So, let me first stress that even though this is labeled "1" it is not the first book in the series, it is the second, the first is "0".
When you first meet the main characters in Volume 0 you learn about them and a bit of their back-stories but not how they're connected. In this volume that process starts. You have Mihai, the retired assassin. Naoto, a sword wielding girl who's searching for her parents killer. Heine, a genetically altered killer with a bloody past and a deep fear of women. And Badou, a nicotine obsessed informant and Heines occasional partner in crime.
The story is interesting and leaves you wanting more. The art is clean and the fight scenes are pure brilliance. Unique and flowing they offer a clear play by play of the action, not the incomprehensible "page vomit" you get in some manga.
I've found myself addicted after only these two volumes and am eagerly awaiting the next release.

Gorgeous, January 24, 2012
This review is from: Dogs: Bullets & Carnage, Volume 1 (Paperback)
I haven't read the entire volume 1 yet, but I don't need to in orde to tell you that this is a good series to pick up. The line art is very well done, action sequences are extremely interesting, and the story so far is very interesting. Definitely give this series a try.

Amazing Series., June 30, 2011
This review is from: Dogs: Bullets & Carnage, Volume 1 (Paperback)
Dogs is an amazing manga though unless you've read the prequel series then you won't understand much in this volume. The art is amazing and the story once understood is similarly astounding.The only flaw might be it's lack of characterization though even this makes it better as it gives characters a mysterious persona.
