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.

Score: ★★★★1/2 (4.5/5) There are certain comic book creators whose books I'll pick up without hesitation. One of those creators is Jeff Lemire. He instills confidence knowing that his stories will be thoughtful and engaging. You add a talented artist like Dustin Nguyen on another collaborative effort and well, 'Little Monsters,' is a must-buy. I know, shocking.   They team up again with an intriguing post-apocalyptic vampire tale featuring "the last children on Earth" who've been left to their own devices among the ruin...
