MINISERIES FINALE
"HAPPY HANK THE VERY HAPPY CLOWN"
Now where have we seen this guy before?
The worlds of HAHA and ICE CREAM MAN reveal themselves as one and the same in this story about the last days of Happy Hank (previously seen in ICE CREAM MAN #8). Featuring artwork, of course, by the ICE CREAM MAN creative team of MART N MORAZZO and CHRIS O'HALLORAN.
"Haha" #6 is the perfect ending to an original and enjoyable series. Read Full Review
This final chapter isn't necessarily superior to any of the stories that came before it, with audiences likely to connect more strongly with some narratives than others, yet it does manage to wrap up the entire concept of HAHA in an effective and fulfilling way, sending the series out the disturbing, enlightening, and entertaining note that we have come to expect from the twisted premise.

Haha #6 delivers another, final, somber tale to its series. While I'm unsure if it manages to deliver the message it originally intended, this issue and the series as a whole is certainly an experience that will stick with me for a long time. Read Full Review
The entirety of the anthology series doesnt approach any kind of sense of finality, but its not for lack of trying. Prince and company manage some moments of thematic expansion as Prince covers some of the bigger themes that have been ricocheting through the series. The art team manages a few beautiful panoramic panels. The series lacks an overall sense of composition that would make it feel like anything other than a dark stumble through the kind of simple, unsullied sadness that doesnt often make it into pop fiction. Its sad. Its simple. Its not terribly compelling, though. It holds a mood perfectly. And maybe thats all it really needs to do. Read Full Review
Your collection would benefit from issues #3 and #5. Given that I am an optimist at heart, i really wanted to laugh at HaHa on some level. Billed as a tragedy, it lived up to that for me. The art was superb in this issue, but I just don't get it! Read Full Review
Really liked this one.
I'm confused by some of the critic reviews for this issue. Almost like they don't know what this miniseries was? I liked it though, it's basically a sneak Ice Cream Man issue.
I like the ice cream man nods. But I think its the second best one. I liked the first one and when you think about it this is very similar which is fine. It felt like a reverse mood of that one. Great finale but also very heartbreaking.
There were some nice easter-eggs of the ICE CREAM MAN comics.
