Written by Swifty LangArt by Michael Lapinski
This continues to be a pretty cool comic, as the main characters continue their trek across the border to America, and deal with the strange transformation that their daughter has undergone. They are detected by the Border Patrol just as a group of werewolves attack, and things get chaotic fast.
And therein lies the book's main problem. Lapinski's art, which is very good for establishing shots and dialogue scenes, quickly becomes hard to follow in some of the action sequences, and at times, it's not clear at all who is doing what. Add to that the anonymity of the Border Patrol guys (one of whom seems to waffle in personality), and the whole fight scene, which is a major part of the book, comes off as a bit of a mess.
There's still a lot of reasons to support this book though. There aren't many horror comics that also interact with social issues. That, and the fact that this entire issue is printed in Spanish on the flip side, could bring some new readers to the medium.
