Mmmmmm, hungry? If you are, I suggest eating before you read this comic. This is the kinda crunchy, squirmy, tentacly story that makes you feel the imaginary tickle on the back of your neck. EEEWWWWWWW! This is the car accident that you can't help but sneak a peak at.

Regardless of the gross out factor, this is by far one of the most interesting and unique stories to be published in quite some time. Issue #5 is the conclusion of the 5-part debut story arc, "Bug Brothers." The Bug-Bee boys declare a "Code 4" at the Perez building and prepare for a war. You see, this is where roaches now rule, and marshall law has been declared. There is nothing left to do but get midevil on these pesky varmits and send them right back to their maker.

With ravenous swarms pouring out of every crevace, ready to devour anyone in their path, it is no job for the unprepared. Our fearless heroines Henry and Stretch battle for their lives, but will they have enough ammo to secure safe passage out of the building without having their hides eaten alive?
