Description
James “Sonny” Crockett and Ricardo “Rico” Tubbs, Miami’s coolest undercover cops, are solving wild cases all over Miami Beach once again. They had a hard enough time busting cocaine cartels in the ‘80s, but now, the latest designer drug on South Beach is even worse; it’s spreading like wildfire and an apparent zombie invasion follows. Could they be linked? (Probably.) And what’s Lieutenant Castillo’s personal stake in all this?
Join creators Joe Casey and Jim Mahfood on this kinetic, neon-tinted take on a television classic.

"Sonny Burnett and Rico Cooper are back on the streets!! Undercover brothers from different mothers!" I never saw the film, or the TV show. I can believe it might have had a cop with a pet alligator, but I'm fairly sure the leads' boss wasn't secretly a killer ronin, and I'm damn near certain they never had to deal with a zombie plague, bionic perps or a voodoo apocalypse. Joe Casey and Jim Mahfood both have past form in creating crazy pop comics; put them together and apparently that's squared. In particular, I'm not sure I've ever read anything quite so outlandish and unrestrained from Mahfood; he's much more angular, less curvy, but in a weird way his work here reminds me of Brendan McCarthy, if you replaced McCarthy's classic psychedelic influences with punk scratchiness and eighties style-mag width. I'd never heard of this project until I saw the ARC offered for nowt on Netgalley, and I'm not really sure why this truly bizarre comic exists, but I'm glad it does.

Crockett and Tubbs are back undercover on the Miami streets minus the '80's music but with a very strange art team. The drug lords are still fighting it out when a new designer drug gets released and roars across the city. Plenty of fighting, gun play, and psychedelic strangeness that will have you straining your eyes to take it all in.

Crockett and Tubbs. And zombies?
This was an exciting 100 mph ride through downtown Miami.
And the art is perfect for all the weird crap that is going on in the book.
I don’t really want to spoil the story, so I’ll just say it had me laughing out loud several times, and I was pretty glued to the story from beginning to end.
Though some of the lettering was a little hard to read.
Recommended if you’d like action and want to see Crockett and Tubbs give it another go.
