Venhaus and Bak team up to create a young adult graphic comic that follows a rag tag team of high school kids who focus on overthrowing a local mobster. The story started quick but burned too slow for a promising storyline of murder and mayhem. Most of the story was lost to bickering and jokes or sarcasm that didn't quite land well. While my 11 year old son enjoyed this graphic comic, I found it to be too slow for what the story promised. The drawings were sometimes incomplete (not sure if that was artistic embellishment or laziness) but I was sort of hoping for the cover art to be the inside art or close to it...and well, it wasn't. I sat this down at the halfway mark for a month then finished in under an hour because I hate to leave loose ends. :)

It started promising enough and I was attracted to the art style at first, The climax of the story, however, invoked a tired trope and dashed my hopes for something more thoughtful. Also, the art throughout was at times inconsistent and incomplete with a lot of short cuts taken. I would advise giving this book a pass for something better.
