Pubo #2

Looks like I’ll be getting these every year or so, just in time to forget what I read in the previous issue. Luckily my old review is right up there. This one picks up where #1 left off, with Pubo on the run from his captors and an angry bear. All the animals in the forest are betting on his death, and it’s a good setup for the last issue, which will probably answer a few questions. This one shows a bit more of his captors and a tiny bit more of the mysterious man in the forest. Looks like everybody is out to get Pubo, so of course there’s more there than it seems. Yes, I should have gotten the last issue so I could have had a more informed review of this one, but I’m not made of money. It’s an interesting story, and my fear of him “just spouting catch phrases” was pretty far off the mark. Don’t know if Dark Horse is ever going to put this all out in one volume, but I think they’re all still available at Leland’s website. $3.50 seems a bit steep, but what are you going to do?
