'Gang of Awesomes is a dystopian fantasy. It has vampires, and cybermen. Lazy police officers, mohawks, blatant anti-furry sentiments and poorly painted backdrops. Its funny, but its not 'har-har' funny. There's even a semblance of a plot in there. Rambling diatribes on inane topics and maybe people die. The story is told in bursts of different media. One chapter may be a comic, while another is an illistrated collection of short stories. In the end we learn moral lessons about loving each other. Everything comes up roses.'
