Rover Red Charlie
"The story of three best friends at the end of the world"
Rover Red Charlie is a six part story set from the perspective of a dog and his friends as they go on a adventure to find the remaining feeders. I have to say, this book is both adorable, and depressing. Adorable as far as how the dogs act, talk, and think. But man oh man, can this book get upsetting. If you cried like a girl to dog deaths in movies, you're going to be on suicide watch after reading this. Characters are fleshed out well, and you really care for the furry protagonists.
With their owners dead, the trio sets off to find other humans. They encounter other dogs and make friends and enemies along the way. Seeing how various kinds of dogs are handling the end of the world is a treat. You see happy farm dogs just not caring, to military dogs wondering when their squad will come back. There are happy moments, but when the upsetting moments show up, no one is safe.
There really is not to much to say about the art honestly. Dogs look nice, when there is human carnage it looks gruesome. Very typical Avatar Press art.
This book is published by Avatar. The company that brought you The Crossed, Uber, and all the other gory stuff. If you don't wish to see dogs occasionally get killed, or humans die in horrific ways, don't read this. But for those who can actually handle such stuff should.
Over all it's a fun and wild ride. The best of comedy, horror, and adventure. If you could read this any time soon, I must say. Pick. It. Up.
Do yourself a favor and check this book out!

Story
The story begins with the narrator talking about how all the feeders(humans) went crazy and started killing themselves. The book doesn't go in depth with what kind of doomsday this is, if it's supernatural, or man made. All you know is that humans are killing themselves and each other. Which works great in my opinion. You find yourself clueless, like the dogs in the story.With their owners dead, the trio sets off to find other humans. They encounter other dogs and make friends and enemies along the way. Seeing how various kinds of dogs are handling the end of the world is a treat. You see happy farm dogs just not caring, to military dogs wondering when their squad will come back. There are happy moments, but when the upsetting moments show up, no one is safe.
Art
There really is not to much to say about the art honestly. Dogs look nice, when there is human carnage it looks gruesome. Very typical Avatar Press art.
Dialogue
Probably my favorite part of this book is how the dogs talk. Just to give you an idea:- Humans = Feeders
- Oceans/Lakes = Splashes
- Mountains = Big bigs
When dogs bark, apparently they are shouting "I'm a dog!" it's cute.
Get Ready For It!
