Curb Stomp #1 (2nd Ptg)

(W) Ryan Ferrier (A/CA) Devaki Neogi. From BOOM! Studios. WHY WE LOVE IT: Punk rock isn't dead ... yet. Turf wars* breaking rules* crushing violence* and Black Flag these are a few of our favorite things* and we can't wait for Curb Stomp to straight-up knock our teeth out (in a good way). WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT: Writer Ryan Ferrier (D4VE) is a creator on the rise* and newcomer Devaki Neogi's art will hook you with its aggressiveness but keep you coming back with its heart. Curb Stomp is an unflinching* visceral look at the lengths one woman will go to protect her friends* her family* and her home-perfect for fans of Rat Queens and the seminal '70s cult-favorite film The Warriors. WHAT IT'S ABOUT: Three gangs. Five girls. No way out. Machete Betty leads a small gang of women under the self-appointed task of protecting their home of Old Beach* one of three boroughs surrounding a rich metropolitan city. When Betty takes the life of a rival gang member in an act of self-defense* she sets off a chain reaction of retaliation* gang warfare* and unlikely allies. It's up to the The Fever -- Machete Betty* Derby Girl* Bloody Mary* Daisy Chain* and Violet Volt -- to defend their turf at all costs. Scheduled to ship 04/08/15. (6679)
