04.Jun.2009 Bone Vol 4: The Dragonslayer by Jeff Smith
This volume of Bone is more dark and gloomy. Thorn is very angry at Gran’ma Ben for lying to her all this time then they get separated. Thorn and Fone get to the village, only to find that Phoney Bone has taken control of the village (how stupid the village people can be?).
Phoney Bone annoyed me, but mostly because he made Lucius all defeated. I hate to see the big guy beaten down. Apart from that, he’s adoringly annoying or annoyingly adorable.
The highlight for me is the appearance of the rat creature cub who gets attached to Fone and Smiley Bone, especially Smiley. Aawww. So cute! We need him in this war time.

The peaceful time has come to and end
