Rumpus Room #2
AWA Studios

In RUMPUS ROOM, a new-agey technocrat billionaire named Bob Schrunk keeps an assortment of people who’ve offended him in some way imprisoned in his subterranean “rumpus room.” Every week, his prisoners must vote out one cellmate to a horrible fate: their bodies ground up to make the not-over-the-counter facial cream that hides Bob’s morbid skin condition. Bob is in total control, but there’s just one thing he doesn’t know: his most recent “guest” is a cop, and she’s carrying a concealed gun.

Thoughts…

We pick up right where issue 1 left off, and we get a chance to meet the other people trapped in the basement. There is quite a mish mash of people being held prisoner by Schrunk and there seems to be established groups within the Rumpus Room. There are some interesting people but one stands out more so than the others but I won't spoil that here, but the identity does show us just what Bob is really like and how disposable people are to him.

This second issue does a great job of expanding on what we saw in the first issue. We find out a lot more about the setting and the people involved. Bob's character is expanded on as well as the prisoners tell their tales. There are a couple of little bits that piqued my interest, one of which was a mysterious man in the shadows Woodrow, who seems to be the first or at least longest held person. The other is the meeting that Bob is getting ready for, what will he do when he has to face the board? He seems a man of extremes so I can’t even imagine

I am enjoying this series and can not wait to see where it goes next. I think it's one of those series that could go anywhere. I would give this 8 out of 10
