I am assuming that Area 510 is book one in an "unknown amount" of a series by Lee Loughridge, Jay Faerber, Justin Greenwood, and Thomas Mauer (I am assuming Greenwood has illustrated this graphic novel, and Mauer is a big name in the community that I am unfortunately unfamiliar with).

You REALLY don’t want to know what is in the beer

Open Bar (Edicao Definitiva) by Eduardo Medeiros

by Leave a Comment

WHAT THE SAM HOUSTON DID I JUST READ? This is one messed up story about two best friend who are two sides of the same coin, making it so they are the perfect collection together.
