Before setting out on your own in these pages, please read the introduction first. You’ll find out why exactly these guys don’t hold back on the gore and mayhem. You can’t blame a guy when he tells you from the get go that no one is going to get out alive. There are no feel good storylines in this pulp. Right from the start, we see blood and guts. It’s like Aliens only no one survives. My favorite in this book is the story “Half Gay.” It’s built on the “is the glass half full? theory” and is about a fat guy who starts eating himself then tries to rationalize that he’s still half alive. The answer to that will make way too much sense when you read it. This is one of those comics you want to drop in little kids’ pillow cases on Halloween because you know if they read it they won’t be going to bed for awhile. If this thing ever gets color graphics, we’re all in for a treat. (Jose Angeles, 971 Sandra Court, Apt. 2, South SF, CA 94080, joseangeles@muchomail.com)
