This issue is a real Jawbreaker... Just sayin' pa-POP!
It's all going down the hatch in Sweetie Candy Vigilante #4: Lost Cherry
It's Pixie's first day in the weapons room at the Candy Vigilante factory; time to get schooled in the fine art of sugar-fueled firepower! Sweetie unveils the JAWBREAKER, her signature weapon developed for "overly chatty" bad eggs, and things get explosive for Mr. Uh Oh! and Mr. Oh No!-a couple of dummies with rotten DNA who aren't having a very GOOD day. A mysterious, magical, confectionary potion called "Lost Cherry" is introduced, and Candy Wolf drops sweet knowledge on Pixie about Super Natural more
Sweetie Candy Vigilante #4 is another home run of an issue. We get to see Hansel and Gretel in action (can these two get a spinoff series please?), more of Sweeties HQ and weapons, and some great gory scenes that remind you that this book is gloriously grindhouse in tone. Highly recommended. Read Full Review
SWEETIE: CANDY VIGILANTE #4 brings Pixie Stix deeper into Sweeties organization as part of Sweeties plan to do something. The art is eye-popping vibrant, and the weird scenes are captivating, but its not clear whats going on, what Sweetie is up to, or why. After four issues, we shouldnt still be asking Whats going on?.

Though shes obviously just a play on more popular characters, Sweetie has real potential to be something much more. Theres something to be said for the power of commerce in a world that is so obsessed with instant gratification. Caffiero doesnt really harness anything in the story that feels like its speaking to anything larger than a cheesy political drama. Sweetie could easily meet some of her potential without doing anything terribly deep. Even a shallow action story would be preferable to what Caffiero is doing with the series. Its generally fun, but it could be a lot more than it is. Read Full Review
