Rating: Mature
Follows the adventures of Octavia, an ex-hitwoman, who comes out of retirement in order to fund her son’s college tuition. Gilbert Hernandez brings his weighty powerful style, honed by years of work on Love and Rockets to Howard’s cheeky narrative that is bursting with attitude (see "’Assassinistas’ and ‘Punks Not Dead’").

Artist: Martin Simmonds

A coming-of-age saga about a fatherless boy who finds an ethereal companion and father figure in the spirit of Sex Pistols bassist Sid Vicious. Barnett and Simmonds blend traditional elements of the coming-of-age saga with a narrative borrowed from the thriller genre (the lad is being pursued by a super-secret branch of MI5), and set the whole thing to a relentless punk rock beat.
