Summary: Web-Guy Rusty McDoodle goes back to his freelancing gigs while his buddy Stan trys to hide the horrific destruction of his basement studio experiment from his boss, Zigmund Danzig. Meanwhile, amidst the swirling reminder of his persistent visions, Headcast accompanies Billy to the lake for a relaxing fishing trip. The sportsmen head to their favourite pub for some sustenance, only to find the horrors of the city have bled into their idyllic country retreat. Soon, these four lads will realize there is nowhere to hide from the “Chicken Outfit”.
Join these two hapless slobs, Headcast the psychic, his fishing buddy Billy and their shit-house-rat-crazy, yet loveable megalomanic, boss into an adventure that will unhinge the doors of perception and stomp its way into your heart with a pair of blood-clotted, steel cleats.
Review: Not so very long ago, I reviewed the magnificent Chicken Outfit issue one by Joe Deagnon and Kirby Stasyna. But it was long enough ago that you probably forgot what happened! It has dribbled out of your head!
LET’S RECAP! A guy wears a chicken outfit! Another guy creates a killer sex bot! There’s porn! Alcoholic psychics! Fishing! You’ll love it! I loved it! DID YOU BUY IT?!? Of course you did, it was fantastic.
But, for any series, the second issue is a bit of a challenge, especially when the first issue starts so strongly. There’s always the risk that the first issue was just a fluke and that the creativity and energy can’t be re-created.
At the end of issue one, Rusty was sick of his life as a web designer and even more fed up of pining for his ex girlfriend. His best pal Munson, on the other hand, was incredibly worried about what to do with his evil sex robot. His evil sex robot that kind of has Cthulu qualities.
In issue two, Rusty finally snaps and burns bridges in the ol’ web designing business, by destroying a client’s website. He takes up Munson’s offer for an interview with his boss at Xbre Xabre, the porn company he works for. In an ideal world, this would be the perfect plan. It should be the most fun in the world ever.
But this is not an ideal world.
Following the Psychic and his fishing buddy, we see more expansion of the universe of Chicken Outfit as we’re introduced to a gang of demon witches doubling as a biker gang. The introduction of the gang gets pretty darn messy, to say the least.
It’s just as wacky and creative as the first issue. There’s plenty of mayhem, swearing, crude sexual images, and more to keep everything nice and interesting.
But the story is also as interesting as before, with visions and monsters and unexplained chicken outfits. It’s great to see that the book isn’t losing any speed at all.
And the world that’s being built in this book is also fantastic. It’s creative and messy, full of monsters and other horrors.
Deagnon’s art has actually improved since the first issue. It was always manic and full of interesting details, but the line work is much tighter and more refined.
Deagnon and Stasyna have created an excellent book that should be in everyone’s collection, even if you’re not a fan of crude humour or insanity.
So, put your money in their bank account and read this comic book. It’s proven to prevent diseases like aardvark infestation, ankle acne, and over exaggerated magnetism. It’s essential.
Editor's Note: Well you heard it right here folks! So head on over to the Chicken Outfit Media website and get your pre-order on!
