Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Its a great strip
Review: Bruno is really one of the better strips there is on the net. Its great he got a book out, too.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Roleplayers look here...!
Review: I'm from Germany, where it is really hard to get this book - but it was well worth the effort! The strips are really great and the way McDonald streches the borders of fantasy stories by using modern day television, telephones and so on is one of the best ideas I have seen! As roleplayer I really love this comic! [BTW: Please excuse my bad english... :)]

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Go Bruno!!
Review: Like many internet comics, I stumbled on this gem by accident. I read the strips abounding with weird wizards, sassy micro-dragons, clumsy rouges, goat-headed Goddesses, bartending demons, and various other oddities, laughed so hard my sides hurt, and got addicted. Unlike certain other reveiwers who have no basis for their mindless dislike, I think Bruno is one of the best internet comics out there, parodying everything from pop culture to classic fantasy stories. Ian McDonald has terrific insight, and I hope the strip continues to be successful for many years to come.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: His jaw is bigger than his brain!
Review: Planet Nine strikes again! Bruno the Bandit is tall, dark, and luckless from a family of bandits. Even though he's in his thirties, Bruno is still living at home with his mother, father, companion/sidekick/will rat him out in 5 seconds micro-dragon Fiona and "Uncle". A firm grasp on pop-culture is necessary to get all the gags, jokes and jabs as Bruno seeks ancient books of forbidden knowledge, endures prison, his world's version of Peoples Court and daytime television and even marriage...to an another man. I'm not going to ruin any plotlines, so you'll just have to pick up a copy to find out the rest!

If you stumbled across Sluggy Freelance and liked it, give Bruno a try.

Summary: great strip
Review: This is definetly one of the better comic strips out there. Bruno the Bandit is completely original, and fresh, the main character contiues to surprise me. Bruno is not only a dumb crook, murderer etc, but also greedy, selfish, and at times meaner than his enemies. It makes hime very interesting to read about, you'd think he would rather save the world than make a few gold sovergeins, but not Bruno. He kills baby unicorns, and clubs baby seals, all to further his own ends and this makes the book very refreshing from other strips, for he continues to save people, usually out of shear stupidity! I recommend you to purchase this book!!

Summary: Humour with class
Review: This is the "typical" story of your rogue that has it all done by brute force and not necessarily the smartest way. That would not have been anything special if we hadn't got Fiona, the always present Micro-dragon sideckick. With her inteligence, sarcasm, and great humour that turns this stupid/smart robbers pair in one of the funniest around.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Somewhere Between Lankhmar and Lichtenberg
Review: Wavering on the borders of reality and ridiculousness is the little kingdom of Rothland, which has somehow managed to keep its magic while adopting modern conveniences like TV and newspapers; so that if you're publicly pilloried it could be front-page news. Life would be idyllic (unless you were hexed or something) if not for the presence of the mighty Bruno the Bandit and his sidekick, Fiona the micro-dragon. In a world where Lords of Evil can become trapped in a vacuum cleaner and Great Cthulhu give a reference for a bartender, Bruno is a force for good...er, well compared to some...well, he's kinda nice to his mom. Fans of Terry Pratchett will recognize his insidious influence; fans of Robert Jordan better keep smiling. It's well-drawn, too, and the ridiculous plot twists could only come from the mind of a well-read, well-informed, and well-twisted cartoonist.
