Storm King Comics’ Fetch is a modern-day Odyssey about 12-year-old Danni, who undertakes a journey to bring her dog Pirate back from the dead. With the help of the legendary hero Odysseus, a Minotaur, a Cyclops, and Danni’s little brother Sammy, it looks as though Pirate’s soul is as good as found. But when Sammy is kidnapped and brought deep into the lowest part of Hades’s realm, Danni will have to reconsider the true reason for her seemingly noble quest — and face the darkest depths of her soul.Written by Mike Sizemore and illustrated by Dave Kennedy, with colors by Pete Kennedy and letters by Janice Chiang, Fetch, Book Two: The Rescue brings this whimsical, mythical and sometimes terrifying children’s tale to its appropriate ending. While Fetch, Book One: The Journey mostly followed conventions of the classic hero’s journey, the second volume takes a few left turns — bringing Danni and her friends to Hell and back in a subversive and symbolic way.The presence of the other characters also helps. With more allies and enemies to interact with, Fetch, Book Two: The Rescue is a richer reading experience than the first volume. Charon the Ferryman is a standout, displaying a level of subtle emotional depth — and adding some gravity to the storyline at a crucial moment. Danni’s allies, the gruff and affable Minotaur and the slightly dorky Cyclops Polyphemus, are good comic relief. In true adventure story fashion, the heroes’ party continues to grow. Hades is still a good antagonist, though his motives and methods falter and come across as weak. This makes the surprising and heartfelt developments a little harder to follow. It’s reliant on heavy exposition, which is unfortunate. However, the twist ending to Fetch, Book Two is solid enough that this can be pardoned.
