  Teenage geek Fergie Ferguson and his BF Sid, the ghost of a punk rocker who only Fergie can see or hear, are on the lam for a murder they didn't exactly commit. They've made it to London but on their tail are the police, the quirky paranormal investigation agency the Department of Extra-Usual Affairs, and some really freaky magpie monsters, so there's not (much) time for sightseeing.
While Fergie tracks down his long-absent father to get answers about his powerful new "abilities" (Sid calls them "psychic grenades"), DfEUA's old-school mod super spy Dorothy Culpepper and her sensible young partner Asif Baig uncover evidence that links

Feb 26, 2019The great writing, gorgeous penciling and breathtaking coloring are to show just how good this book can come to be. The story is just starting and we already get beautiful pages of 'exorcism' and other mystical manifestations. Read Full Review

Doom Rocket - Jarrod Jones
Feb 14, 2019Think The X-Files directed by early-career Danny Boyle, and you're about there. Ghost stories and deep government conspiracy, soppy teen romance and kitchen sink drama, all of it guided by an elemental spirit that belongs to us all. That's Punks Not Dead, back, better than ever.

The Brazen Bull - Dave Robbins
Feb 26, 2019All the blood and spit and spirit missing in the modern world can be found in these pages. A delightful poke in the eye of contemporary mundane behavior as well as tendencies towards mindless nostalgia. Action, adventure, supernatural bass players and a real self-deprecating sense of humor makes this work. Read Full Review

Bleeding Cool - Leigh Kade
Feb 26, 2019There's a great scene mid-way through issue one, where Fergie summons up a ton of raw energy and channels it through his guitar, wielding it like some Cosmic God-Hammer. The resultant battle is kinetic and cool, with an unexpected resolution. That's basically how I would sum up Punks Not Dead: London Calling"Kinetic and Unexpected. Read Full Review
