Rabbit’s Badass Song #2 is a comic created and written by Christopher J. Elston & Chassity Lassiter with art by Halil Mete. Things get much more violent and trails are picked up and followed in this issue. Rabbit is on the warpath for justice and revenge while others are attempting to put a stop to his shenanigans. Our lead’s real name is Jimmy but he goes by Rabbit, his lady is called Snow Bunny but her real name is Irene, and there are two other guys who were known as troublemakers a long time ago. The plot is mostly revenge but as the reader we don’t know the reasons why. We can glean little tidbits as to why the anger is there but the whole story has yet to be told. This is not a knock against the story, this journey is very entertaining. The action here is gruesome and bloody but it doesn’t look that bad due to the color theme. The dialogue here is very Deep South and everything should be easy to understand. No page is to wordy and the story moves at a steady pace. This is a great second issue because it picks up the pace, fills out the story, and ends on a juicy cliffhanger.

            This is a black-and-white comic with a nice balance of light and shadows. A chicken joint, a bar, and a meth lab are a few of the places we’ll visit in this story. The main character wears a mask and the other core members mostly look angry but the level of expression here is about average. Some of the side/background people show a bit wider range of emotion. Faces here are well-drawn especially on close ups. Lots of detail and history embedded in these faces. We’ve got a nice assortment of body types here and you’ve seen them all during one supermarket trip. The weapon selection here is mostly gun with an occasional appearance by knives. The action here features items in parts of the body they shouldn’t be and limbs bending in ways they shouldn’t. The action here is driven by the story so while the scenes may not be lengthy they are very important. Judging by the outfits here I’m assuming this story takes place during one of the cooler times of the year.
