![]() ![]() Come for the sweetly rendered mid-city neighborhoods, stay for the Star Trek: TNG debates. Seriously, this comic is a vivid joy to look at. Baker and Goux are so neurotically tuned in to the tastes and insecurities these people have, you can’t help but relate right away - especially if you, like Megan, frequently find yourself wanting to leave a social function to go home and watch one of the Hellraiser sequels. But because they’re the embodiment of a chosen family, they manage to survive these tribulations, even the self-inflicted ones.įrom the very first page, two things immediately jump out: the artwork, which is dreamy and raw and the level of specificity about the characters. They navigate shows, heartbreak, hookups, and fights with about as much luck as you’d expect from a trio of beautiful tattooed misfits. But that’s not important what’s important is that it contains a skateboard named after Edward James Olmos.įuck Off Squad is about three young Los Angeles skaters: Vanessa “Jimmy” Trujillo, Clark Hobbs, and Megan Tran. ![]() That means this comic has more punk cred than you. The three stories collected in Fuck Off Squad were originally self-published by writer Dave Baker and artist Nicole Goux before getting collected and put out by Silver Sprocket (I highly recommend checking out the shop if you’re in the Bay Area). Fuck Off Squad, Dave Baker & Nicole Goux. ![]()
