OK hi, review starting here, that other text is unrelated. Cartoonists who are just starting out, take note: the title of this comic jumped right out at me, so when picking a title, keep that kind of thing in mind, OK? This isn’t one of those comics with a random title either. You come in expecting a unicorn fight squad, and what you end up with is a unicorn fight squad. Things start off with one of our heroes (Twink) enjoying a night of watching wrestling at home and critiquing the story line. We’ve all been there! Her sister Jet comes home, in an obviously terrible mood, so Twink goes in to her room to cheer her up. Please note that this is where a lesser comic would spend a few pages finding out what’s wrong, why she’s sad, etc. Not this one! Sadness was detected, and a solution was immediately presented: going out to see a show at a dive bar. Cherry, a possible love interest of Twink (another thing that was gloriously left vague) was working at the bar, we spend some time getting to know the three of them a bit better, and the opening band starts their set. But, disaster! The opening band is a weird snake cult that opens up a portal to another dimension, bringing brain eating slugs into the bar. Will they be able to escape, and\/or end the threat? Well, that’s the rest of the comic, I’m not going to tell you here. A solid comic, with funny bits and lots of action. Is this really a #1 or is this the only issue of the series that will ever exist? I have no idea, as there’s no date in this comic and it sure looks (from Christine’s website) that she’s moved on to other projects. Either way, this works fine as a stand alone comic. $5<\/p>\n\n\n\n
