Junk Rabbit #1 introduces a new hero

Posted on April 5, 2023 by Brett

A new hero rises from mountains of consumer waste, mass homelessness, and devastating climate change. Some call the hero a myth, an urban legend, but others know that it’s the Junk Rabbit come to life! Described as “Swamp Thing meets RoboCop,” Junk Rabbit #1 is an interesting debut whose visuals stand out.

Jimmie Robinson handles the story and art for this series which takes Earth’s overflowing junk and makes it an extreme. Set in 2198, junk has overwhelmed the planet forcing the haves to head to space, those in the middle to find refuge under domes, and the have nots living in the garbage. It’s all an interesting concept that has a lot of work with and underneath feels like there’s a message.

The story revolves around an influencer who is killed by a mysterious character and the detective the influencer’s father has sent to bring in the murderer. There’s a lot Robinson dances around in the debut. There’s something clearly more about the Junk Rabbit than what’s initially talked about in the issue. It feels like that reveal will be the real driver of what’s to come for the series as a whole, the murder just gets the ball rolling.

The art is what really stands out here. There’s so much detail put in by Robinson. The visuals really tell so much of the world’s story as we get to see what people have put together from the junk to survive and what remains lying around. There’s also teases of the individuals under the dome and what’s shown there has a much greater story than what has been shown so far. The images will have you lingering on the pages, the art tells so much about the world.

Junk Rabbit #1 is an interesting start. It doesn’t quite excite but there’s something there, lots of potential to be had. If nothing else, the visuals are top notch and really shine.

Graphic Policy’s Top Comic Picks this Week!

Posted on April 4, 2023 by Graphic Policy Team

Wednesdays (and Tuesdays) are new comic book day! Each week hundreds of comics are released, and that can be pretty daunting to go over and choose what to buy. That’s where we come in

Each week our contributors choose what they can’t wait to read this week or just sounds interesting. In other words, this is what we’re looking forward to and think you should be taking a look at!

Find out what folks think below, and what comics you should be looking out for this week.

Adventures of Superman: Jon Kent #2 (DC Comics) – The first issue was a bit slow but we want to see Jon deal with some of the worst versions of Superman out there.

Disney Villains: Scar #1 (Dynamite Entertainment) – The Lion King villain gets the spotlight. So far, Dynamite’s “Disney comics” have been pretty solid.

Hairball #1 (Dark Horse Comics/Flux House) – Matt Kindt and Tyler Jenkins do horror. Yeah, this is on the list easily.

Junk Rabbit #1 (Image Comics) – A new hero rises from mountains of consumer waste, mass homelessness, and devastating climate change. A hero rises from climate disaster. We’re intrigued.

Magic #25 (BOOM! Studios) – The series wraps up here and we’re not sure how it pulls it all off in an issue.

The Nasty #1 (Vault Comics) – A story about the perception of evil, the power of genre, the love of fandom, the need to create art, oh, and crap-your-pants TERROR! A new horror comic? There’s been a solid run of new releases so far.

Planet of the Apes #1 (Marvel) – We’re excited to see what this new era of this classic franchise brings.

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine – Dog of War #1 (IDW Publishing) – A “lost episode where Quark purchases an extremely rare purebred corgi from Earth.

Samurai Doggy #5 (AfterShock) – The art has been amazing with every issue in this western meets sci-fi.

Second Coming: Trinity #1 (AHOY Comics) – Jesus Christ, the Son of God, tackles his biggest challenge in 2000 years: babysitting a child with super powers! That bit alone has us hooked.

Where Monsters Lie #3 (Dark Horse) – The series about what happens in a community where serial killers spend their time off has been amazing so far.

This new enviro-thriller explores a worst-case-scenario that alters not only our world and the heroes that literally rise from its ashes—but also how one family can change the future by unlocking the secret of the Junk Rabbit.

Junk Rabbit #1 will be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, April 5:
