Don't miss the start of this all-new ongoing Vertigo series by writer Eric M. Esquivel (Gregory Graves, Ricanstruction) and artist Ramon Villalobos (Nighthawk, America). When a crack in the border between worlds releases an army of monsters from Mexican folklore, the residents of Devil's Fork, AZ, blame the ensuing weirdness-the shared nightmares, the otherworldly radio transmissions, the mysterious goat mutilations-on 'God-dang illegals.' With racial tensions supernaturally charged, it's up to new kid in town Frank Dominguez and a motley crew of high school misfits to discover what's really going on in this town torn between worlds.

BONUS REVIEW by Shawn


Not as great as the formative Vertigo days, but definitely as good as the DMZ/Scalped times, this book is what would happen if the Ice Cream Man's truck collided with the car that was smuggling sunglasses from They Live got into an accident. It's a political, polarizing monster story that'll make some people ...angrier I guess. Just think of it as being printed on litmus paper. Muy bueno for fans of Barrier and fans of less barriers.

I give it 8 out of 10 Grahams
