This magazine reprints the webcomics Aliens with Attitude, The Whipmaster, The Mighty Tubularman, The Strange Case of M. Feratu, Post Nasal Drip Man, and Gangbusters. Culled from various artists and writers, all components of the compendium are almost equally amusing, though Gangbusters had a little more depth and weirdness to it.

Aliens with Attitude was sort of like Lilo and Stitch. Imagine wisecracking alien kids being raised by an Earth mom; they get into all sorts of trouble with their human sister.

The Strange Case of M. Feratu is sort of like a vampire in the Wild West. The Mighty Tubularman is a straight up super-hero parody. Gangbusters is about a hard-boiled detective with a duck for a partner. It sounds ridiculous, but it is actually kind of creepy, as the duo is hired by a ghost.

The volume is worth checking out; failing that, hunt down the Web comics on which this is based.
