It\u2019s hard to predict if the public needs another \u2018Giant Pug Epic Fantasy\u2019 story. I mean, we all know those are a dime a dozen, right? Luckily, the story of a barbarian\u2019s quest for revenge with the aid of our favorite four-legged freak seems to have legs,\u201d said Norton. \u201cWhen I first made the Battlepug T-shirt, people kept asking when the comic was coming out. So, I put out the webcomic and now everybody wants to know when the book is coming out! I guess now people will want to know when the movie is happening?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This volume collects the first year of Mike Norton\u2019s Battlepug\u2014the perfect opportunity to get in on the ground floor of the fan-favorite webcomic by Mike Norton, Allen Passalaqua, and Crank!<\/p>\n<p>Join Moll and her dogs Mingo and Colfax, as she recounts the legend of \u201cThe Warrior and the Battlepug\u201d\u2014a tale of a fearless barbarian, his trusty and freakishly large pug, and evil baby harp seals.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m a huge fan of Dark Horse and couldn\u2019t be more excited to have Battlepug published by them. Hellboy, B.P.R.D., Buffy, Star Wars\u2014they put out some of the best comics currently being made and it\u2019s humbling to even be on the same shelf with that kind of product! I\u2019m super excited for people to read it and look forward to much more in the future!\u201d stated Norton.<\/p>\n<p>Mike Norton\u2019s Battlepug Volume 1 is on sale July 4, 2012!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The epic tale of blood and drool begins here!
