Santos Sisters Halloween Special

Imagine that the world of Archie Andrews and the gang from Riverdale was drawn in that classic Dan DeCarlo style but it had the morals and language of a Quentin Tarantino film. That's the world of the Santos Sisters. My first foray with the characters created by Illinois based creators Greg and Fake, I'm a little familiar with some of their friends including the monster slaughtering duo Hack and Slash and Heaven's little devil, Mercy Sparx.

There's not really a cohesive story throughout this 48-page Halloween special. Instead, it's a series of vignettes and shorts that show how the Santos Sisters and friends celebrate All Hallows Eve! They were funny takes. Rather charming. Just not for kids and I think because of the friendly art style of the characters, it might fool some parents and guardians into thinking this is a family friendly read.

Sure, this was an R-rated book and there was a demon character inside. But I don't think Mercy Sparx is more than just a guest star in this book. So if other Santos Sisters books are pretty similar in style, I wouldn't mind reading more of Greg and Fake's creations. Maybe there's a Christmas special or other Holiday special out there that I've not encountered. Fingers crossed.

A pleasant Indy comic surprise from 2024.

Worth Consuming!

Rating: 9 out of 10 stars.
