It’s written by Keith Giffen, and it shows, snappy dialogue and very quirky. The art is good too and the titular wayward rabbits intriguing. Only problem is, just when the issue is settling in a nice groove, it ends.. more rabbits please...

For sake of honestly I’ll tell you; I didn’t read the original series before this. I didn’t even know there was an original series! I just saw the cover on the shelf, liked the way it looked, and decided to give it a try (sometimes you can find really awesome series that way!). I didn’t have any trouble understanding what was going on (again, I thought it was the first in a new series).
This series is cute and charming. Though I’m a huge fan of rabbits, so I may be biased here. The bunnies that we’ve seen so far all have their own personalities, though they lean away from the normal tendency of rabbits. They even managed to throw in some threat and action right at the end – something I hadn’t really been expecting (I was anticipating a nice calm start to the first before we got thrown into the thick of things. Not sure why I did though).

This comic was on the border between 4 and 5 stars for me. Ultimately, I found it so charming that I couldn't bare to deprive it of its final star. I suspect that the reason I had was that we don't learn why a couple of characters at the end of this issue have arrived. But… I'm sure we will learn at least a little more in issue #2, so even if it wasn't revealed in these pages… the issue is so intriguing that I'm looking forward to the next issue arriving!

With a title reminiscent of Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends and cast of characters that doesn't seem too far off from those creatures that spring from the imagination, Auntie Agatha's Home for Wayward Rabbits #1 is the first in a limited series that features Julie, niece to the titular Auntie Agatha, and a band of rabbits (and rabbit-like animals) that must protect the home from a mysterious enemy.
The artwork in Auntie Agatha has a nice touch to it, with little things that I didn't notice at first glance, like the heart shaped patch of fur on one of the primary rabbits. Each character has care taken with their appearance and I feel like the backgrounds are ones that you could go back to and find something new going on each time you read the issue.
Character wise, for a first issue I think we got a fair introduction to the main cast while being intrigued by the outliers. There are several bunnies to contend with and at least one creature that is a dog wearing a bunny mask. I'm not sure what to make of the fact that the animals can apparently talk. Do they talk to all humans or just Julie? Is Julie magic or are they just super selective?
The cliffhanger, regarding two secretive women that barge into the home looking for Auntie Agatha, had me a little upset that this was only issue one because I had so many question! That was definitely a good choice on the part of the writer because I'll be looking forward to that (December can't come soon enough!).
