Meet Satan. After eons of ruling the underworld, he's sad as Hell and can't take it anymore. So why not skip town and check out "the air up there"? He can shack up with old pals Mister, Young Tim, and Aunt Mary - but we all know slacker roommates can lead to friction in the long term. Meanwhile, Jesus Christ is wrestling with his own midlife crisis, not to mention the world's biggest daddy issues. With Satan's time on earth running out, and Hell breaking loose in his absence, it's time for a road trip down below! Can our heroes save a sinner's soul without pissing off the Powers That Be?
If you haven't ever heard of "Hey, Mister" before, trust me on this one: it is really damn funny. This one isn't the joke-a-minute nature of those earliest mini-comics, but I feel like this mellower, slightly matured "Hey, Mister" is still great. And if you like what you see here, well, just remember that there are three collections comprising all of the earlier material. "Hey, Mister" should be comic book required reading. "Hey, Mister: Come Hell or Highwater Pants" isn't the first time that Sickman-Garner has tackled the afterlife ("Aunt Mary Climbs the Mountain of Life" not only does so but it's one of my all-time favorite pieces from Sickman-Garner; it's also available for free online), but it's definitely the smartest take on it from him. Check it out. Read Full Review
