With the ghost of his dead father for company, Rasputin leaves home for the monastery, where he fights monks, has a chat with God, and meets the man who will eventually murder him.

*** Beware – spoilers may be found below ***

The Good

  • Riley Rossmo’s art.
  • Winning a bar fight and making a new friend.
  • Being able to bring your friend back from the dead.
  • Going to a monastery and befriending a giant monk.

The Bad:

  • Years later when the giant monk kills [attempts to kill?] you.
  • Having the power to heal and not having the power to use it on yourself.  Bummer.

The Ugly:

  • When the last thing you see is a giant slamming his boot down on your face.

 

I enjoyed Rasputin 2 and look forward to future issues.
