SWEETIE CANDY VIGILANTE TP VOL 02 (MR)

SWEETIE & HER CANDY VIGILANTES ARE BACK - TO SATISFY YOUR SWEET TOOTH WITH CANDY-COATED CARNAGE!

Riding in hot on the heels of Volume 1's cliffhanger ending, the eagerly anticipated return of Blood! Guts! and a Sugar Rush is here!

Sweetie and her Candy Vigilante squad are back with Volume 2 of their SWEET new series, opening with an epic, not-to-be-missed "Sugartown Showdown!" Together with her shape-shifting, licorice-loving lycanthrope Candy Wolf and newly "minted" ninjette warrior Pixie Stix, Sweetie faces off with a violently delicious fury against her "salty" arch-nemesis Bart Volgare and his gang of thugs in the icy, snowy streets of New York City, where blood is spilled and an army of fabled supernaturals and sugar-fueled allies hop into action to scramble "bad eggs!"

Sweetie's signature Jawbreaker gun resurfaces, and armed with delicious new ammo she unleashes an arsenal of surreal and sweetly sinister confections that wash away the naughty and leave a wicked smile on your face - literally!

Witness thugs iced by magic snowball flex and grisly fatalities caused by exploding Easter egg grenades, jellybean munitions, and gingerbread jawbreakers. Plus, the creation of Sweetie's frosted whipped cream confection called "SweetStuff" - for those pure of heart, it's one of the most delectable concoctions you'll ever taste. To the inherently bad, however, SweetStuff doesn't taste very SWEET at all - in fact, it melts away your... everything! It liquefies matter into a frosty, glittery goo right down to the bone!

The band is definitely back together, as squad members and enforcers Gummee Bear and Tinsel (a living Christmas Tree) return along with witch-hunting assassins Hansel and Gretel, and we're introduced to Peter Cottontail and Jack Rabbit riding in on their supercharged monster truck fueled by ice cream! We'll also meet The Great Pumpkin (who rises out of the pumpkin patch every All Hallows Eve), Sweetie's youthful beekeeper, Honey B, and receive a house call from ally Dr. Faerie Wilder, a.k.a. The Tooth Fairy herself, revealing her integral role in the science and magic of Sweetie's defense weapons development. Gaze in wonder at the halo of the Strawberry Ice Moon at the Candy Vigilante factory headquarters in Brooklyn!

With plans for the "Fortress of Sweetness" nearing completion, the NYPD learns that two mysterious, uninhabited islands, long considered abandoned and dangerous and within eyeshot of NYC's notorious jail on "Rikers Island," have recently been purchased from the city by a "private buyer." Soon, the entire world will know the name Sweetie Candy Vigilante!

All this awaits, among other surprises - including the breaking news that the waters surrounding the "Fortress of Sweetness" are now populated with Sweetie's latest creation... Sweetish Piranha Fish! Isn't that NICE?

PLUS... universes collide as Mystery Men creator and Eisner Award-winning indie comics icon BOB BURDEN's cult-classic antihero FLAMING CARROT makes a SPECIAL APPEARANCE in the first Flaming Carrot crossover since his team-up with the world-famous Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles three decades ago.

Sweetie Candy Vigilante Vol. 2 collects all six issues of the second SCV series, and includes a comprehensive cover gallery featuring art by IVAN TAO, DEAN YEAGLE, JOE CHIODO, BOB BURDEN, JOHN ROYLE, CHRISSIE ZULLO, JEFF ZORNOW, JOSH HOWARD, and more - plus an interview with the creators and a FREE MP3 download of "THE LAND OF HATCHY MILATCHY," the single by OSAKA POPSTAR recorded specifically for this series!
