Kinski (Gabriel Hardman)

Synopsis:  
A salesman's self-styled mission to save a puppy from its neglectful owners escalates into a righteous crusade in this quirky crime thriller written and drawn by GABRIEL HARDMAN (Hulk, Heathentown, Planet of the Apes). Collects KINSKI #1-6

Review:
I got this ebook from Netgalley in return of an honest review. 
Honestly, I didn't know exactly what I was going to find in this graphic novel. They are always an adventure. I knew this one was about a dog, and that was as much convincing as I needed.
I must say I read this in 15 minutes. It was just fast-paced, full-on classic graphic-novel goodness. I had a really nice rhythm and flow, and you could totally just look at this as one small story that completely stays with you.
That being said, it was a very bizarre and interesting story, to say the least. It revolves around a cute black puppy, but it's so much more than that in so many ways. It's more of a character study and a fascinating journey through the subconscious of this man and his love for Kinski.
I think this is an extremely metaphorical book and the art portrays that in a way that is almost impossible to describe.
Finally, although I did find the plot to be a bit confusing at times, the full picture is so much more important and I can only say that not everyone is going to enjoy it: we have to see the deeper meaning of Kinski as a whole and I found that a beautiful part of the reading experience.
