What's to Love: Punk rock isn't dead...yet. Turf wars, breaking rules,
crushing violence, and Black Flag-these are a few of our favorite things, and
Curb Stomp straight-up knocks our teeth out (in a good way). It's an
unflinching, visceral look at the lengths one woman will go to protect her
friends, her family, and her home-perfect for fans of Rat Queens and the seminal
'70s cult-favorite film The Warriors.
What It Is: Three gangs. Five
girls. No way out. Machete Betty leads a small gang of women under the
self-appointed task of protecting their home of Old Beach, one of three boroughs
surrounding a rich metropolitan city. When Betty takes the life of a rival gang
member in an act of self-defense, she sets off a chain reaction of retaliation,
gang warfare, and unlikely allies. It's up to the The Fever-Machete Betty, Derby
Girl, Bloody Mary, Daisy Chain, and Violet Volt-to defend their turf at all
costs. Collects the complete four-issue limited series.
