Graphic Novel
Earth has survived repeated alien invasions, attacks by hordes of mutants, and the ravages of ancient beasts brought back to life. Now we're in the blissful future . . . for most. J!m, the son of the alien who nearly destroyed the planet, is a brooding, megacephalic rebel with a big forehead and exceptionally oily skin. Along with Johnny, a radioactive biker ape, and Jelly, a gelatinous mass passing as a fat kid, J!m navigates a particularly unpleasant adolescence in which he really is as alienated as he feels, the world might actually be out to get him, and true love is complicated by misunderstanding and incompatible parts. As harmless school antics escalate into explosive events with tragic consequences, J!m makes a discovery that will alter the course of civilization, and may help his dating life. Replete with all the rock 'n' roll, hot-rod racing, and heavy petting of classic teen cinema--and packed with famous film-monster cameos--Go, Mutants! is fun strapped to an atomic rocket, and Larry Doyle's deadpan delivery and razor-sharp wit will have you laughing out loud before he even starts the ignition sequence.
