Man Goat & The Bunny Man #2

There's nothing quite like an action misadventure story. Especially if that adventure involves two guys hopping from place to place, rescuing people from the unholiest of monsters. It's a tried and true vehicle for telling some of the most reliably entertaining stories.

It worked in Supernatural and Buffy for years, so why can't it work for a Man-Goat and a Bunny Man? Some of the best of these tales involve two guys knocking heads in a clash of personalities. It helps to ignite a real spark into the story, making it more than two men hunting down some monsters and killing them.

Though they don't get much of a chance to interact, Phil and Floyd certainly do that, as they meet in a clash of ideas and desires. You see, Phil wants to investigate a local cult - but his partner just wants to go on a date!

It's a decision he could come to regret, especially by issue's end. Though it's not like Phil has an easy time of it himself, as he faces a group of hunters that want to see him dead - not because he's a Man-Goat, but because he had an affair with their leader's wife! It's relatively tricky for him and his friend, though he's not without a few fiery tricks up his sleeve.

Throughout, Fajardo does well in keeping the action fast and fluid, while most of the characters, especially the two leads and the head hunter, pop with expressiveness, easily letting you know what most of the characters are thinking or feeling. The issue ends on a cliffhanger, leaving you wonder just how our leads can get out of their current predicaments.

Overall, a pretty good issue, though some of the dialogue could've been put a little better than it was. Otherwise, a decent romp through romance, friendship and the not-so-wonderful world of cults.
