Someone has put a million dollar bounty on The Fox's head and his Rogue's Gallery is coming to collect. What's a freak magnet to do? Complicating matters is another super hero, The Ghost Fox...
The Fox: Freak Magnet was fantastic so I had to snap this one up. Fortunately, the Archie store was/is having a 50% off sale.
This one is a little more down to earth, a little more street level than Freak Magnet was. Paul Patton Jr. is trying to put The Fox behind him when trouble strikes in the form of a million dollar bounty. Couple that with his son Shinji wanting to follow in his footsteps and things get hairy in a hurry.
Dean Haspiel's art is some of the most expressive in super hero comics, probably because that's not all Haspiel draws or draws from. The Fox's eyes and ears are used to convey emotions despite his full face mask. I love Haspiel's retro yet timeless art style.
Once again, Haspiel and Waid use the technique of starting each issue en medias res, in the midst of the action, before backtracking to where the previous issue left off. Since the Fox frequently ends up out of his depth without immediately realizing why or how, this technique is perfect for the Fox's adventures. The family drama in this storyline elevates it above Freak Magnet in my opinion. Still, there's lots of super villain punching fun to be had.
The Fox: Fox Hunt is ten issues of fun crammed into a five issue package. 4.5 out of 5 stars.

I liked this volume a lot better than the weird adventures of the first volume. Someone has put a million dollar bounty on the Fox and every villain in town is after him. Meanwhile the Fox has been having second thoughts about being a superhero wanting to focus on his family instead. However, his son wants to be a hero like his dad and is patrolling the city as well. The family drama grounds the book in a way the first story didn't. I did like how Haspiel and Waid snuck some adult jokes into the book as well.

3.5 stars. Dark Circle is evidently the harder, edgier imprint of Archie Comics, which means that it is barely PG. That being said, it is an entertaining story of The Fox and his son coming to terms of the son wanting to follow in the old man’s steps. All this occurs when some villain puts a $1,000,000 price on his head.
Dark Circle seems to be a good starting point for Funnybooks.
