    We The Nerdy - Oscar Russell Nov 6, 2013

    This is a remarkable short digital one and done story, set in Mexico on the Day of the Dead celebrations, it follows the Los Hombres Del Calaca, who are a Mexican gang that have come back from the dead to pull of one final heist. The story is told in a song by a ruggish man to a bunch of young, petrified children. Edwards manages to set the scene nicely before throwing us in the deep end with a tale set in the past with the original bank heist and leading up to present day with a surprising twist at the end.Although the dialogue in the book is minimal, it does exactly what it needs to do, and lets the art tell the bulk of the story. The art style very much reminds of Jeff Lemire, and has a childlike quality to it that strangely fits the slightly adult nature of this book, told in a black and white framework. Read Full Review

    Comic Bastards - Samantha Roehrig Jan 21, 2014

    Jumping back into the story, the kids hear of these robbers coming back on the year after they had died. The robbers appear on the Day of the Dead in order to finish their last job. The ending is creepy and like all horror stories never really ends. The mystery behind it all again hones in on the playfulness the comic possess. Read Full Review
