Liz says: Everybody’s favourite four-legged Inhuman has finally got his own series, and while it’s predictably fun and feel-good, it’s also full of surprises! Far from the Inhumans’ home-world of Attilan (or more recently, New Arctilan), Dennis Dunphy, AKA Demolition Man, seems to have hit rock bottom. He used to be a hero. He used to have a boyfriend. He used to have a purpose. Now he’s lost everything, and is leading a rudderless existence with no seeming light at the end of the tunnel; that is until a teleporting canine with a little tuning-fork on his forehead arrives to flip Dennis’ whole world upside down! This issue was such a joy, and the icing on the cake is that it gave me the fun I expected, and emotional depth that I didn’t see coming. Great stuff!
