The dark elf Downer Tarantula thought his dungeon guard duty would be
a good way to earn some easy gold pieces, but his last day on the job
finds him engaged in a mysterious and deadly quest for a powerful artifact
called the Ulolok, an entity capable of reshaping the multiverse. Join
Downer and his motley crew of subterranean adventurers on their epic
quest to deliver the Ulolok to the drow city of Oubliette! Collected from the
popular Dungeon cartoon designed and written by Kyle Stanley Hunter.
Downer: Wandering Monster contains 64 pages of comic strips collected from the pages of Dungeon magazine. The compilation allows readers to experience Downer's rich,
complex story from the very first installment!

How can you turn down a comic strip that uses lines like "never bring a guitar to a dungeon crawl" or "don't be a flayer-hater"?
The first installment of my favorite comic of all time, by my favorite artist of all time. Published by the only company I trust. Bliss.
Tight artwork, tight story, solid graphic design, cool.
Finally, a D&D comic series that is as engaging as Wormy, as humourous as Zogonia and as fresh as a newly-planted corpse! I got interested in Downer during the latter half of its story arc and was as amazed by its intricate subterranean world as I was perplexed by its convoluted storyline. Now I can finally understand the whole picture and catch the story.
Kyle has added helpful commentary to explain the sometimes abrupt transitions between segments, and there is lot of additional content that rounds out the book. The book itself is only volume one and runs up until Downer is about to enter the Overbright (above-ground), but a subsequent volume should complete the story. The quality of the book is very high, and the map of Oubliette (one of the most memorable Underdark cities I've ever seen) could make for a great roleplaying location. The appendix of Kyle's monster cartoons could be photocopied and used during gaming sessions.
All in all an excellent collection and a good value. Here's hoping to see more Downer some time in the future!

Is the gallery of monsters that it mentions the illustrations from all the Dungeon magazines?

Yes. It's missing only a handful from the last couple issues of the magazine. There are dozens of them in there.

Sweeeeet.
Aww, but missing the newest ones? Does that mean it won't have the kilmoulis?

I believe the kilmoulis is in there, IIRC.

I hate to say it, but there's a misprinted panel in the print edition, and it turns up even in the downloadable sample pages above. It's the center-left panel at the start of episode #17 (originally appeared in DUNGEON magazine #116), where Downer is lying on the ground unconscious.
Something must've gone wrong with the different layers prior to printing. The speech bubbles are still in the correct place, but the picture itself was flipped around left to right and up/down, so now the speech bubble with the comment by Loops in the upper left hand corner is covering Downer's head, while Downer's smaller speech bubble which used to be near his head is now near his knees. Bizarrely, the little arrow pointing from the speech bubble towards Downer has flipped, too, and it now pointing right instead of left, so that it is at least pointing towards Downer, not away from him. A printer mishap by someone who didn't know the original, perhaps?
Other than this, my print edition is flawless. Nice colours, sharp print. I hope that, should sales figures allow for a second printing, the error will be corrected then.
