Bizarro is, of course, founded on sophomoric humor at the lowest common denominator. Fart and dick jokes rule the day. As Issue Two evolves, though, another side emerges.
Friend: What the hell are you laughing at, Puddlewinks?
Me: Oh, just the sheer terror of being alive.
Bizarro Issue Two explores actual horror. Not ghost stories, movies about demons or stuff that's fun to watch. It's about magic concerning the real-world nasty we all have to make our way through like a rat in a maze. It's dark. It's grim. It's us.
Sure, the comedy ha-has are there, too. 'Cause you either laugh or cry. But still. Just as a word of warning, issue two is going to be a different kind of beast.
