Well, something had to take the spot of worst comic from Free Comic Book Day and I think that we have found the one! The Rabbids have never looked like good characters and that did not change here. I really have no hope for their games being great, but since gameplay matters more than the characters there, that should help. Still, this issue was worse than I had expected and that’s even considering that we got some backup stories here.

The Rabbids story has no plot as the beings just do a lot of crazy things. The main reason why the story was terrible is that the jokes are terrible. Naturally, there’s nothing suggestive about being a random bunny so the writers decided to just add things. One Rabbid wears Tennis Balls and another one spies on her. It’s all just sad and definitely not funny. I really hope that this comic bombs and the sad thing is that this makes video game inspired comics look bad. It’s a good thing that Street Fighter was so good so that it could help us forget about this one. It really had no good moments to speak of.

One of the backup stories was a really short one about Garfield. Garfield had to travel to the Moon to fight off some aliens and it was a decent tale. There wasn’t much to it, but maybe that was part of the charm. The art was intriguing as it made the story appear to be in CGI. I don’t think that it is a style that I would want to see very often, but for once in a while, it isn’t bad. We got some action after all and from the 3 stories, it is easily the best. This series would definitely have some potential if it was on its own. I wouldn’t mind reading a trade paperback for this one.

The other story was the Smurfs and that really didn’t help the issue’s case. The dialogue was too small, which made reading it a little harder than it should be. The main villain’s relative comes over and then betrays the man. After all, the villain is evil so his brother (I think) couldn’t let that happen and stops him. The Smurfs aren’t very likable and the villains aren’t charismatic so it is certainly a losing combo if you ask me. It wasn’t nearly as bad as the Rabbids story and I would probably just give it a 3-4 typically, but it wasn’t good enough to bring the issue up either. The art was all right here, it was essentially newspaper style.

Overall, This comic was doomed thanks to the Rabbids. They seriously ensured that I could not like the issue and this didn’t help me gain any respect for them as characters. It will be quite a while before I buy one of their comics. The Smurfs is a series that I have never been interested either. That meant that Garfield had to really hold everything up and that was too great a task for it. A 2 is rather low, but that’s just how bad the Rabbids story was. I’d advise you to skip this comic, but Free Comic Book Day is already over so you may not have had a choice anyway right? There are only 2 more free comics left to read so I should have those reviews up at some point in the very near future.

Overall 2/10
