"RUDOLPH ON THE ROAD TO FUNVILLE"-Every boy and girl needs a momma, like a puppy needs a bowl. The funny-sad clown series for a funny-sad clown world continues with a mother-daughter road trip illustrated by ZOE THOROGOOD (The Impending Blindness of Billie Scott).
While it would be remiss to say that Haha #2 is an uplifting read, it is a comforting read as it reminds readers that there is something wrong with all of us. Read Full Review
This may be a six-issue mini-series, but it has great potential to be open-ended. The first two issues of the anthology have opened-up on a promising, new series that just might find be able to find its audience. Clown-related drama has a unique relationship with the comics page that will be interesting to see explored further so long as Image can find enough of a range in different art and story styles to keep it interesting issue after issue after issue. There are so many different directions possible for a series like this. Hopefully, Image can find enough sales to keep the series going long enough to find its potential. Read Full Review
There are some sweet moments like the mom putting a red nose on Rudy or shooting off fireworks together, but for the most part, Haha #2 is a bleak, hopeless character study about how switching up the scenery won't change your path in life as Rudy ends up being a clown like her mother.

HAHA #2 is a sobering tale of the absurdities in life"both in its many obstacles and our own ways of fighting them. Read Full Review
This story could have full descended into a cliched outcome, and while it might not be entirely surprising, there's enough nuance and heart to really sell the experience, which will surely make you question what every clown might be hiding behind their makeup. Read Full Review
Haha #2 is a tragic, question-filled journey that'll pull on your heartstrings. Funville, much like in the first book, plays a role during the story and also offers a cool Easter egg towards the end if you can spot it. Prince and the team easily have another winner with the second issue. Read Full Review
When all is said and done, Haha #2 takes readers on an uncomfortable journey with a mother and daughter as one seeks a fresh start in what she perceives as a promised land, and the other is brought along for the ride. It is a hard book to read, which leaves me grasping for a proper way to define it. Read Full Review
As with any anthology, there are going to be chapters that are stronger than others. Haha #2 isn't quite as good as the first installment, but it's still very solid. Prince and Thorogood pack a shocking amount of emotion and depth into 24 short pages. Super dark, and well worth the price of admission. Read Full Review
HA HA is not a feel good comic as it addresses some very tough real life issues around depression, abuse and loneliness. It is however doing an excellent job at exploring these difficult subjects and is making me want to know where things are going and how the characters' stories develop. Read Full Review
HAHA #2 is a story that doesn't give its characters enough depth to give any real impact to the proceedings, leaving the end result flat and uninteresting. Read Full Review
Prince's second issue is a tragedy. Perhaps when all issues are published and are connected, we will see a six series of short stories that are more designed for pity on these characters than a connection. Again, I commend anyone that tries to infuse energy into a tired theme. DC has all the angles covered in comics with The Joker, Harley Quinn, Punchline, The Clown Killer, etc. Stephen King destroyed Barnum and Bailey's clowns through his work in IT. I'm in for the long haul, but I am not laughing at HaHa! Read Full Review
Loved it. Great story.
Well, this was depressing.
Not as good as #1 in my opinion but its another highly engaging story that you can't put down. It leaves you thinking and thats what makes a good comic.
Very interesting comic.
Definitely not the same level as #1 but still a good read.

We are introduced to funny girl Rudy, who narrates this tale about her mother daughter road trip many years ago to Funville for a fresh new start and what it was like growing up with a mother who was insane.
Image Comics continues its anthology with this second chilling issue of HAHA. I didn’t think after last issue this would get any darker, but I was proven wr more
