⭐ Series Highlights

  • Keith Giffen’s Return: Marked a highly anticipated return to creator-owned work for industry veteran Keith Giffen (known for Justice League International and Lobo), bringing his signature cynical wit to the story.
  • Unique Art Style: Featuring expressive and stylized art by Benjamin Roman, the series manages to make a cast of dysfunctional bunnies both charming and unsettling.
  • Dysfunctional Cast: The "wayward rabbits" are not your typical cuddly pets; they are fragile, neurotic, and often ill-equipped for the "home-alone" style warfare required to save the estate.
  • Memorable Antagonists: The conflict centers on the persistent attacks from Naomi and Raquel, two enforcers sent by the wealthy J. Jackson Jackson, who face off against Loomis the Mouse's complex booby traps (#4).
  • High Stakes Finale: The series concludes in issue #6 with a tense standoff where Sawyer must decide the fate of their captors, leading to a resolution that "might not end well for anyone."
