Cerebus learned of the Black Sun Cult in the last issue and makes his way there to steal treasure. To his dismay he runs across Elrod the Albino along the way. Cerebus and Elrod break in. Cerebus looks for the treasure while Elrod gets into mischief. Cerebus ends up losing the treasure after a battle with a giant spider and questions his life as the issue ends.
This issue cements Elrod's opinion that Cerebus is a boy in a bunny suit. He meets a cultist in an aardvark costume and can't seem to tell the two apart. Several times he even muses on how quickly Cerebus painted his costume.
This issue was back to the more standard Cerebus barbarian fare. Though his annoyance at Elrod showing up was very amusing. The battle with the spider was probably the toughest challenge Cerebus has faced thus far in the series. And he also experienced failure for the first time as he lost the treasure that he found.
This was mostly a continuation of part 2 as the Black Sun came up last issue. The series has kept a light continuity so far which has been nice. Elrod of course remains one of my favorite characters in the series. You just can't read Elrod dialogue without having Foghorn Leghorn's voice in your head.
Until next time!
