You can’t keep a bad rabbit down, and the Exquisite Corpses breakout Rascal Randy is getting his own miniseries — the first to spin out of the hit book from Image Comics and Tiny Onion.
Written by Tyler Boss with art by Dylan Burnett, the five issue limited series will reveal the origin story of the mascot bunny killer.
“From the moment I saw the full cast of killers for Exquisite Corpses, I, like most discerning readers, knew Randy would be the winner of the first season’s game,” said Boss via press release. “Now while I still can’t say whether we’ve been proven correct or not, I can say the story Dylan and I have created for everyone’s favorite furry fiend is as sweet and cuddly as a porcupine.”
Added Burnett, “Bullies, homework, crushes, solving a string of brutal and bizarre murders perpetrated by a weirdo in a giant rabbit costume… Ah, to be young again.”
Here’s the synopsis, per Image Comics:
The sleepy little town of Aurora Springs, NY, has exactly one claim to fame: it’s the birthplace of Rascal Randy. Not the man in the suit—that man has never mattered. He was no one until he put the mascot head on for the first time… not until he felt the life leave someone’s body with his thickly furred gloves wrapped around them.
No, Aurora Springs is the birthplace of Rascal Randy the rabbit, who, once upon a time, was poised to become the greatest animated character this country had ever seen—until greed and tragedy changed his trajectory forever.
Witness the events before season one of Exquisite Corpses that made Rascal Randy New Jersey’s selection for America’s deadliest game. When chaos comes hopping into town, the secret sordid history of Rascal Randy will finally be revealed.
While Rascal Randy is the first out of the gate, there are more to come including two other limited series — Exquisite Corpses: Fox Mask Killer and Exquisite Corpses: Lone Gunman — and an anthology one shot, Exquisite Corpses: Book of the Dead. That’s in addition to the upcoming second season of the series, the feature film adaptation, the tabletop card game, and the collectible toaster. Just kidding about that last one.
Exquisite Corpses: Rascal Randy #1 will feature covers by Javier Pulido, Riley Rossmo, and Michael Walsh — with the last coming polybagged with a collectible trading card for the upcoming card game (this is not a joke).
