In a world where everybody is ruining franchises and movie sequels by broadening their appeal and trying to target a wider audience, it's refreshing to see that Jhonen Vasquez is narrowing his focus and trying his best to alienate the bulk of the buying public.
His three most recent books are the "Filler Bunny" comics. Issues 1 and 2 would surely be viewed by most as hastily thrown together garbage (after all, #1 was entirely done in one sleepless night, and issue #2 is the product of two sleepless nights with work in between). It would seem that the purpose of those two books is to rid himself of unwanted baggage (ie- the casual fan). Issue three is brilliant in it's honesty, and wonderfully proclaims his plans for pissing off the general viewing public, while hinting at what is to come.
At the back of the book is a website address
Questionsleep
I think that after two mindless books, the average person would decide that a third Fillerbunny would be too much, and thus avoid it, missing out on the website which hints at a return to the realm of Johnny and Devi, and the struggle to maintain control of their minds in the face of something that seeks to commandeer them while they sleep, or because they don't focus their attention properly, or other such reasons.
I think it would appear that Vasquez is up to something, and I would reckon that it ties a lot of his previous work together. I'm all giddy with antici...................................pation.
