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.

I love the clean style of the artwork. The story is strong and the humour is sharp. I particularly loved the Space shuttle turned into a bar.
I only wish the book was longer. Although, to be fair, it imparts a lot of information even in this short volume. I’m definitely looking forward to reading Bad Wabbit 2.
Small sidenote: despite what one reviewer said, Bad Wabbit isn’t really appropriate for children.

Hoomans went the way of the DoDo. Great line!
Great graphic novel/sci-fi story. Lots of retro art and comic book BOOMS and WHAMMMS!
Fun from start to finish about Earth post-human.
I’m rooting for the Anthros over the Pangolins.
Check out this fast-paced Roger Rabbit type tale with an Elmer Fudd accent thrown in for Fits and Giggles!

Fun, creative, but short
I was digging this. Artwork is excellent, action clean, and layout easy to follow. Writing's creative and the characters are fun archetypes. My only complaint is that right as it was getting really good it ended. Which, I suppose isn't the worst, it did leave me wanting more.

Bad Wabbit # 1 Makes Some Friends
I’ve not been a comic book fan for years, since I was a kid. Superman, Batman, The Justice League, have given way to reality. The characters have depth, and the story has promise. I wanna know how it turns out now….

Fantastic Art
What a crazy ride. I think I am going to enjoy this series of adventures. The artwork is amazing even if the material is a little familiar. It appears to be short, but definitely not for the kiddos.

Unexpectedly cool concept
It is definitely a really cool concept and pretty amazing drawing.
Ebook probably is not the best option for this format but it is still an awesome comic story.

who’s a bad rabbit? Bad rabbit
Fun to read, good illustration, a dystopian graphic novel set in the future. Look forward to the next one in the series.
