I touched on this slightly in the intro to this review, but the backup story is outstanding. It is really coming together. I'm just as excited for the continuation for these characters, as I am for The Fox, if not more so. The story seems familiar in a good way. It feels like I already know the characters so well, and I want to go along for the ride as long as they've got room in the car. I'm sure that it won't come as a surprise to anyone reading this, but this issue gets a perfect score from me, and I'm honored to have had a chance to review it for the site. What a great way to close out the day. Read Full Review
This is a great looking comic, as well. Haspiel's cartooning is bold and frantic, perfectly suited for the silliness that fills these pages. He manages to plug so much character into the Fox's simple design, often with just the subtlest tweak of the ears. It's the art that really sells this thing, no doubt. Haspiel packs each page with tons of stuff, never wasting a page or panel. As previously stated, The Fox feels thick, there's just a lot going on in here, a lot to dig into. As long as Haspiel and Waid are on this book, it's worth your time and money, especially if you're a fan of big, dumb fun. It's great stuff, really. Read Full Review
The Fox is sly and addictive fun, straight no chaser. Read Full Review
The Fox's artwork -- and outlook -- continues to impress, but the lack of a stronger theme or hook keeps this book from hitting its full potential. Read Full Review
