Angelino is a young loser like thousands of others in the Dark Meat City. He and his friend Vinz are squatters at a seedy hotel room in the Latin Quarter, Rios Rosas. Angelino spends his days watching Mexican wrestling matches on TV, delivering pizzas and having bizarre metaphysical discussions with his roommate. A stupid scooter accident will plunge Angelino into a hurricane of unimaginable trouble, as he becomes the only person on Earth capable of recognizing the vicious cosmic entities that walk among us, who are readying themselves to invade the planet.
This book is brilliant"a diamond in the rough, I'd say. Every now and then, a book like this will appear. One that's different from what you're used to reading. One that leaves you thoroughly satisfied. This is that book. This book is definitely a must-read. Read Full Review
This is most is definitely a book that anyone reading it is going to have an opinion on. Love it or hate it, theres no denying the fierce passion behind Runs work, and his undeniable artistic talent is visible on every single page. In a lot of ways, MUTAFUKAZ feels like a drive-by shooting for the senses, providing an intense injection of visual insanity and offbeat storytelling that's like nothing else on the shelves today. Demented and uplifting in equal measure, this one is definitely well worth a look, if for no other reason than to feast your eyes on the glorious vision of one absolutely twisted creative genius.

The plot isn't anything particularly impressive in terms of a story but it's interesting enough to keep me reading and curious. That's certainly something worth praising. Read Full Review
Criticism wise, your mileage with the aesthetic may vary which isnt a bad thing about the comic its just worth saying. One thing that I am getting tired of is comics intentionally keeping their opening chapters vague and finishing with dozens of questions for the readers. I understand its to help someone recap the information that is going to be important for next issue but its getting to be an issue with me. It was a cute crutch when sixties Batman did it but comics need a more subtle way to fix that problem. Depictions of Latin and Black American communities are a bit one dimensional as of now so I hope thats expanded on a bit more. The peaceful side of Minority cultures in the states and Central America is just as interesting as the violent side and itd be nice if the comic makes that clearer. Im hoping the later release keep up the good quality I saw here though. Read Full Review
I would pick up the second volume. Sure there's a lot of unanswered questions from this first volume, but I liked the world enough that I would return to discover them. If you're looking for something very unique and extremely different, then check out Mutafukaz this week. It's pretty good. Read Full Review
Am I just an old grump? Perhaps. I like many different styles of books but this just didn't work for me. Visually interesting for sure, and some good jokes in there, but as an entire piece of work I found it wanting. One for the kids methinks. Read Full Review
