One Vicious Hare

JACK BUNNY BAM BAM AND THE WEEPER APOCALYPSE by Eric S. Brown (2013 Bizarro Pulp Press / 58 pp / eBook & tp)

Jack Bunny is a tall, green rabbit assassin living on a future earth. He's like a cross between Boba Fett, Rambo, and a mafia hitman. He lives within a city that's protected by a wall of flame that can only be crossed by reciting a secret incantation.

The rest of the world has been overrun by Weepers, people infected with a virus that turns them into zombie-like creatures whose tears can turn their victims into part of their army. But now the fuel that keeps the flame wall up is getting low, and Jack Bunny's enemies want to team with him to fight the coming Weeper invasion. What ensues is another non-stop, gory action romp from the author of the BIGFOOT WAR series, and I'm sure his fans won't be disappointed.

I had a blast with JACK BUNNY, but I don't know why this is being pushed as a bizarro story; it's more of a dark scifi action fantasy that at times reminded me of a violent Bugs Bunny-meets-Mad Max hybrid. Either way, this quick read is a real blast and I'd like to see more from this sarcastic, nasty little rabbit...
