Sweetie Candy Vigilante Vol. 2 Finale Features the Flaming Carrot! With Special Cover by Legendary Creator Bob Burden |  October 14, Mt. Laurel, NJ: Snitches get stitches, and nothing says "holiday" more than the smell of elf roasting on an open fire... Sweetie Candy Vigilante celebrates her latest finale this December, and brings along another legend of indie comics with her!
Readers better watch out, they better not cry, and they better save the date! Sweetie Candy Vigilante is inviting everyone to an exclusive invite-only Christmas party in issue #6 of her latest series. Take a trek to her Fortress of Sweetness located on the twin SCV Islands. Readers will be joining the eclectic cast that has been built up over a dozen issues of the hit new vigilante's stories, including Pixie Stix, Candy Wolf, Gummee Bear, Tinsel, and the rest of the sweet squad.
It's been hinted at and promised through the latest series, but now Candy Wolf will finally spill the sweet tea on the mysterious backstory between Sweetie and the North Pole's big boss man, "Nic" aka Santa Claus himself. But in the sardonic and sugary world of SCV, is the jolly old man as "saintly" as he's been fabled? Find out from writer Suzanne Cafiero, producer John Cafiero, and artist Thiago Vale.
This issue is set up as both a finale of the second series starring the character, as well as a perfect done-in-one, self-contained story. It's an excellent opportunity for anyone new to the series to jump in and experience all the buzz, while simultaneously being a sweet tooth-satisfier for returning fans. It's the perfect send-off for this wondrous world of candy-coated carnage!
A truly spectacular cherry on top for this book is a special cover illustrated by the indie comics legend Bob Burden. Not only does it sport his art, but also his signature character the Flaming Carrot, star of countless too-cool comics, and inspiration for the beloved film Mystery Men. It's not just a cheeky cover either, as the "FC" appears within the pages and ties closely into the story as well! It's the first major crossover for the character since his team-up with the world-famous Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles going back three decades. Artists John Royle, Jeff Zornow, and Yonami also contribute covers bursting with sugar-fueled energy.
Don't miss a sweet beat, fans are encouraged to preorder to guarantee a copy of this fun-packed celebration under their tree this holiday season!
