Melissa and Stace are on the cover but I didn’t spot them in any of the stories in this issue.

Apocalypse… Meh
by John Westhoff and Bobgar Ornelas

Corporate life after the apocalypse. This story looks like it mostly written for laughs. I smiled, winced, and shrugged but didn’t laugh at the jokes.

Stonebrook Tales: The Backyard Gig - Part 2
by Bobgar Ornelas

More of Iron Manuel and Chivo at the Backyard Gig. A few new characters are introduced: Robbie, Sasha, and Demi. Demi is the gal that Chivo has a thing for, the one he punched accidentally. She’s with friends and doesn’t have time for Chivo. Robbie whacks Iron Manuel with a cane for checking out his gal, Sasha. The cane was a gift from Sasha. Robbie spends the whole time sitting but I get the impression he doesn’t need the cane to walk.

Creepazoid
by Bobgar Ornelas

Weird superhero story about a guy who is called into action to save a porn store that is on fire. Most of the story is humor centered around Creepazoid getting to the store.

Stonebrook Tales is what interests me the most. The other two stories are light humor. Stonebrook Tales has yet to get terribly deep or meaningful but I’m curious to see how it evolves and where it goes. Humor is such a subjective thing. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with the way the first and last stories are told but they just don’t speak to me the way the middle one does.

There is a note from Bobgar at the end of this issue about the creative process.
