Robin’s Review of Bad Wabbit # 1: Friends

Bad Wabbit # 1: Friends

What do you get when an antisocial, alcoholic rabbit dealing with a dystopian hellscape meets a pig that needs a little protection? Well, we guarantee you don’t get polite language.

In FRIENDS: Bad Wabbit Issue #1 we find out how Wabbit gets yanked out of his quiet life in a trailer and tossed straight into Foxy Fox’s meat grinder in his post-apocalyptic world.

Equal parts Die Hard and Usagi Yojimbo, this fast-paced, brutal look at finding a way to redeem yourself comic funded on Kickstarter and has gathered hundreds of positive accolades since its release.

The story of Bad Wabbit was conceived and written by Anthony Castro, edited by bestselling author Chris Philbrook, and illustrated by artist Tommy Guns.

Robin’s Review

Triggers: Strong language, adult humor, violence, dystopian themes, alcoholism.

What Did I Just Walk Into?

A post-apocalyptic trailer park fever dream where a drunk, antisocial rabbit gets drafted into mayhem, adopts a pig sidekick, and proceeds to solve problems with fists, rage, and absolutely zero concern for your delicate sensibilities.

Here’s What Slapped:

This comic wastes no time. It throws you straight into the grit, the action, and the kind of dialogue that sounds like it was written during a bar fight and then polished just enough to be legible. Wabbit is an instantly compelling disaster of a protagonist: flawed, messy, and weirdly magnetic. The pacing is fast, the scenes are cinematic, and the humor lands because it is not trying to be cute. It is sharp, brutal, and oddly charming in that “I hate everyone but I will still save you” way.

And the art? Tommy Guns brings the whole cracked universe to life with punchy visuals that make the chaos easy to follow and fun to stare at. This is one of those books where you can tell the creator actually loves the medium.

What Could’ve Been Better:

It is Issue #1, so it is doing setup at a sprint. If you blink, it is over. You will probably finish it and immediately go, “That’s it?” in the most affectionate way. Also, if foul language makes you clutch your chest, this rabbit is not here to babysit you.

Perfect for Readers Who Love:

Adult graphic novels, dystopian grit, foul-mouthed antiheroes, fast action, found-family vibes, and comics that feel like an animated brawl with feelings hiding underneath.

Sum It Up:

This is a quick, grimy hit of chaos with heart tucked under the armor. It laughs, punches, and shoves you out the door wanting the next issue like a bad habit you are not even pretending to quit.
