In the wake of the hostile “Sugartown Showdown” street battle, Sweetie and her “swirly pop” formation entourage (Candy Wolf, Pixie Stix, Hansel, Gretel, and the rest of the supernaturals) regroup victorious at the Candy Vigilante factory headquarters in Brooklyn. After getting iced by magic snowball flex and witnessing the grisly fatalities caused by exploding Easter egg grenades, jellybean munitions, and gingerbread jawbreakers, Bart Volgare and his thugs (at least what’s left of them) know one thing is certain: the band is back together! Rumor has it SUV barely survived the weird trauma, so you might say he has something to smile about — permanently. Sweetie’s arch-nemesis Bart may think that he got away, but you don’t really believe she would just let him scurry off like that, do you? Peter Cottontail and Jack Rabbit lament that they didn’t get to take the shot and egg-stinguish him in the name of SWEET revenge when they had the chance, but Sweetie makes it crystal clear she wants Bart alive — at least for now. He knows… something. Plus the bad wolf tower is pinging, and someone’s house is about to be blown down. Meanwhile, the squad is introduced to Honey B, Sweetie’s youthful beekeeper, who brings stinging news straight from the hive. Someone has been killing Sweetie’s prize bees by chopping off their fuzzy little heads! Could it have anything to do with Sweetie’s latest weapon? The frosted whipped-cream confection called “SweetStuff” is derived from the sweetest, purest, grade-A honey, and for those who are pure of heart, it’s one of the most delectable concoctions you’ll ever taste. To the inherently bad, however, SweetStuff doesn’t taste very SWEET at all — in fact, it melts away your… everything! It liquefies matter into a frosty, glittery goo, right down to the bone! Isn’t that NICE? Pick up Sweetie Candy Vigilante Vol. 2 #2 for all this and lots more sweet stuff!

Riding in hot on the heels of Volume One’s cliffhanger ending - the eagerly anticipated return of Blood! Guts! and a Sugar Rush! is here! Sweetie and her Candy Vigilante squad are back to kick off Volume Two of their SWEET new series with the epic, not-to-be-missed Sugartown Showdown! Together with her shape-shifting, licorice-loving lycanthrope Candy Wolf and newly minted ninjette warrior Pixie Stix, Sweetie faces off against her salty arch-nemesis Bart Volgare and his gang of thugs in the icy, snowy streets of New York City with a violently delicious fury. So, you have chosen salt? So be it! Blood is spilled and lives are changed (including many ended) as an army of fabled supernaturals and sugar-fueled allies hop into action to scramble the bad eggs. Candy Wolf shows the crime syndicate soldiers what big teeth he has, while Pixie gives her newly gifted nunchucks a maiden battlefield test-spin, reducing criminal weaponry to molten scrap metal! Sweetie’s signature Jawbreaker gun also resurfaces, armed with delicious new ammo (can’t you just smell the gingerbread?), but not before she unleashes some brand-new, sweetly sinister confections that wash away the naughty and leave a wicked smile on your face - literally! Isn’t that NICE? What does Bart have to say for himself about the disappearance of Sweetie’s parents? Will a certain supercharged monster truck fueled by ice cream make the scene? When the candy-coated carnage ends, will the bodies be bagged before NYC’s Department of Sanitation barrels down the block to do their rounds? Pick up Sweetie Candy Vigilante Vol. 2 issue 1 and find out, gumdrop! This debut issue also includes a FREE MP3 download of the song Hatchy Milatchy, a new, never-before-released track by Osaka Popstar recorded specifically for this book!

Is Pixie questioning a life of candy carnage? Are things all GOOD with Sweetie’s resident ninjette? Is she acting BAD in the name of GOOD? What’s really on her mind as she gazes into the halo of the Strawberry Ice Moon deep in thought? Moonlight on that and more will be shed… Sweetie calls a company SWEET MEET to update Candy Wolf, Pixie, Hansel and Gretel, Peter Cottontail, Jack Rabbit, and Honey B. (with Gummee Bear and Tinsel joining on video conference), about the GOOD news that business is growing faster than imagined, and plans for the “Fortress of Sweetness” are nearing completion. That’s just Hatchy Milatchy! Soon, the entire world will know the name Sweetie Candy Vigilante! Also on the agenda, and topping Sweetie’s NAUGHTY LIST, is salty nemesis Bart Volgare. Still reeling from the “Sugartown Showdown,” he confides to his girlfriend that Sweetie’s “fairy tale wash-ups” (as he calls them) wiped out his entire A-Team, leaving him and his now disfigured henchman SUV as the sole survivors. SUV is literally speechless and scarred with a twisted grin on his face, unable to mutter a single word. He’s seen some s**t! Turn out Bart’s main squeeze is a high-profile member of the news media, and he’s got a scheme to expose Sweetie on live TV for being more than what she may appear to be on her sugary surface. Tales of bullet-eating ice-crystal skulls made from magical snow, exploding jellybeans and grenade easter eggs leave his sanity, or at least his sobriety, in question. The NYPD learns two mysterious uninhabited islands, long since considered abandoned and dangerous, and within eyeshot of NYC’s notorious jail on Rikers Island, have recently been purchased from the city by a “private buyer.” Well, well — isn’t that NICE!? THIS ISSUE IS DANDY AS CANDY… DON’T MISS IT!

Created and written by SUZANNE CAFIERO, illustrated by JEFF ZORNOW, and produced by longtime Misfits and Ramones collaborator JOHN CAFIERO, Sweetie Candy Vigilante is a honey-dipped horror/fantasy that tells the tale of Sweetie, an ethereal, well-meaning (yet unquestionably unhinged) blood relative of the mythological "candy man." You know, the dude that takes the sunrise and sprinkles it with dew? Yeah - that guy. Dismayed by the decay of her community, Sweetie decides to enact a blood-caked, sugar-coated manifesto on society by using her proprietary family secrets to make the world a "sweeter" place - starting with her hometown, New York City! Isn't that nice? So buckle up, gumdrop, and make sure you save room for dessert, because it's not like a little sugar is going to KILL you, RIGHT? This book has it all - blood, guts, and a sugar rush! Collects issues #1-6, including a gallery of original series covers by Zornow, Josh Howard, Nei Ruffino, Ned Ivory, Chrissie Zullo, Joe Simko, Godmachine and more

New Yorkers have quickly become “believers” as hordes of SWEETIE’S fans adoringly line up outside the wildly popular lower east side “SWEETIE CANDY VIGILANTE” sweet shop, anxiously waiting to savor the latest delectable SWEET TREAT drop. “DREC ACTION! NEWS,” the namesake news network of a corporate media conglomerate owned and controlled by the corrupt mayor of NYC crashes the party and quickly gets schooled that it’s impolite to show up without an invite! It’s clear to Candy Wolf, Pixie, and Tinsel that the news crew’s objective is to stage an ambush interview with SWEETIE, the Candy Vigilante squad, and their newly minted fans, with the intent of maligning Sweetie and her business on nationally syndicated TV. At the helm is the mayor’s self-centered, saccharine-laced daughter-turned-news anchor, Athena Dreck. Acting under direct orders from her love interest (and Sweetie’s arch-nemesis) — the dour, perpetual schemer, crime lord Bart Volgare — Athena arrives at the shop with camera crew in tow to portray the uplifting sweets as “unhealthy” and “addictive.” Unfazed, our GOOD-natured Sweetie lets the “jelly roll” and flips Athena’s script. Awe-struck and caught in Sweetie’s hypnotic gaze, does Athena believe in her magic? Will she “bite” on Sweetie’s challenge to sample her latest treats while on LIVE TV, inevitably revealing to her viewers if she’s a good witch or a bad witch…? Will the Mayor and Bart feel the sweet heat of the people? Is Bart’s obsession with Sweetie unjustified? Is her mission to bring the sweetness back to the city a clear and present danger to Volgare’s unsavory power and greed? Much to the displeasure of the salty lords of corruption, something within Sweetie’s delicacies is having an incredibly GOOD impact on the population of NYC, and in the process, she’s becoming more powerful! DOES SWEETIE HAVE A KRYPTONITE — AND IS BART ON THE TRAIL OF IT? PICK UP VOL. 2, ISSUE #4, “THE CITY THAT ALWAYS SWEETS,” TO FIND OUT ALL THIS AND LOTS MORE GUMDROPS! Also includes a FREE MP3 download of “THE LAND OF HATCHY MILATCHY,” the new single by OSAKA POPSTAR recorded specifically for this series! Isn’t that NICE?
