There is panic in the air and terror on the streets of Las Brisas, but for the Santos Sisters, it's just another day. Find out how they put the kibosh on an organized auto theft ring, in the dramatic conclusion of "Dude where's my car?" Printed in full color on newsprint!

Score:

★★★★☆ (4/5)

QUICK REVIEW: What Greg and Fake have done by bootstrapping the 'Santos Sister' comic series by creating an old-school comic complete with newsprint and homages to the classic Archie gang has been beyond remarkable. They even sell ads that appear in the comic adding to the nostalgic look and feel of comics of another era. But is the comic, good? The answer is a resounding yes!

With a nod to the classic Archie Comics house style and featuring a core group of young people in varying misadventures, 'Santos Sisters' is a charming and funny comedic series that finds a balance between wholesome and edgy. The different short stories will usually find the titular heroes, Ambar and Alana, navigating their regular lives with their superhero duties when called upon. Whether it's tracking down car thieves, fighting a sentient cinnamon roll monster, or simply unwisely taking a  hallucinogenic, the Santos Sisters are ready for anything. Greg and Fake are indie comics personified and deserve your support.

Two years later, the USA responded with two monkeys, Able and Baker. These animals never returned. But, unbeknownst to everyone, they did not die in orbit...they were taken. And now they are coming home. Score:  ★★★★1/2 (4.5/5) Few things can pique the interest of a comic book reader like a good ole conspiracy thriller. The latest example is the excellent new series from James Tynion IV and Martin Simmonds entitled 'The Department of Truth' that's been a bestseller for Image Comics. It proposes conspiracy theories can be all-too-real and for Jeff Lemire, Andrea Sorrentino, and Dave St...
