The first half of this wasn’t working for me, but halfway through the story got more focused on the supernatural investigation and earned my interest again, ultimately redeeming the slow opening and making me interested in seeing this title continue.
The opening editorial is once again a completely unnecessary and unwelcome rant at the author’s perceived state of the world, which thankfully never bleeds over into the actual comics. This time though, they take a moment from their usual “the queers and SJWs are taking over” paranoia to announce a new writer. I’m not sure what to make of that, though, since the names used are always fake. I’ve always assumed that Preston Skylar Owens is both the writer and artist on all of Action Bunny’s comics, despite the fact that they’re credited to such obviously fake names as “Art Werx” and “Terri Yacki,” but who knows. It seems odd to use every issue’s editorial page to stand on a soapbox and yet not be brave enough to do so under a real name, but as I mentioned before, the comics themselves are usually pretty good, so skipping the editorial and just enjoying the story is the best way to read these things.
