The Perhapanauts

(Dark Horse, 2005-2006)
™ and © Dark Horse Comics, Inc.

Here’s another team of paranormal specialists whose job it is to send the UFOs and ETs back to their own dimension. The aces of the covert agency Bedlam are called The Perhapanauts, and the roster includes Bigfoot, a batty chupacabra (mythic Latino goatsucker), a female ghost, the in–betweener MG, and their psychic leader Arisa Hines. But are their powers enough to combat the legendary shape shifter known as The Chimaera?

The battle has wrecked their headquarters, but the squad has managed to “stargate” half of the deadly beast into another dimension—along with his bait, MG! Can MG survive long enough against hostile aliens to be ported back? There’s also a short story about their backup unit and the prologue to the next adventure about a vampire amuck in the Philippines.
Having cut their teeth on DC’s Impulse, the creators give this series the familiar tone of Hellboy, BPRD, and Ghostbusters. Providing a new cast of characters, they introduce the action quickly but still have to prove they have something fresh to offer the formula.
