Dead Pooh #1 Review

Dead Pooh #1 Review

Have you ever watched Winnie the Pooh and wondered what it would be like if it was in the city and the characters were actually as unwholesome as real people?  Yeah, me neither, but apparently Antarctic Press has because they’ve created a whole new Hundred Acre Wood in their parody comic book, Dead Pooh.

In Dead Pooh #1, Winnie the Pooh is fronting as a normal garbage man named Sandy by day, and the Bear-kan-do mercenary Dead Pooh by night.  The “Candy King” Robinson is making fake wax (money) and driving up the price of hunny (that’s how they spell it).  Combine that with his creation of a gummy bear army and it leaves Dead Pooh no choice but to try and stop his counterfeit wax scheme.

The book isn’t laugh out loud funny, but it does produce some smiles and the occasional chuckle.  Seeing Tigger mug an old goat lady was quite amusing, and trying to put their popular voices to the characters adds just a little more comedy to this parody.  Antarctic Press doesn’t stop at Dead Pooh, apparently they’re “The Asylum” of the comic book industry giving us such gems as Rise of the Planet of the Living Dead, Nazi Zombies, How to Draw Alien Babes & Princesses, Z-Rex the Zombisaur, Chicken Fighter, and How to Draw (and Defeat) Street-Fighting Warriors Turbo.  Congratulations Antarctic Press, you’re officially on my radar…and your comics smell funny.
