NYC JUST GOT A WHOLE LOT SWEETER… THERE’S A NEW CANDY BOSS IN TOWN!
Sweetie Candy Vigilante #3 gives us our first glimpse into the surreal world that thrives beyond the walls of Sweetie’s elusive Candy Vigilante factory headquarters (discretely located in the industrial outskirts of Brooklyn, NY). Now that Pixie has been “chosen” to join the sweet, secret society, she’s introduced to mix masters (and highly skilled axe-throwing assassins) Hansel and Gretel! Yes, the epic witch killing duo are real, all grown up, and no longer eat stranger’s houses. So please, no jokes about gingerbread. They’re still trying to break the stigmatism…
Meanwhile, Candy Wolf spills the jelly beans on Sweetie’s backstory and family lineage! Turns out, her father is the “Candy Man” himself: Zucker Cane, (of the New York landmark Cane’s Sweet Shop). He trained Sweetie and factory home-schooled her with his magical secrets of confectionary wizardry.
Pushed to the limits by the mysterious disappearance of her parents, the gentrification of New York destroying “Mom and Pop” shops, and a fitness obsessed mayor declaring war on sugar – actually outlawing candy, cake and ice cream in the process – she’s declared a war of her own on anyone who treads on her birthright to sweetness, and those who enjoy a little sugar in their lives. Possessing skills far beyond her father, she’s been testing secret formulas on herself, and now…it’s all GOOD! Sweetie said so, and she’s the new Candy Boss in town! So make your life a whole lot sweeter with Sweetie Candy Vigilante #3: Candy Boss. After all, tis the season!
Watch for Sweetie Candy Vigilante’s return with issue #4 in February!

MEET CANDY WOLF, SWEETIE’S FEROCIOUS, SHAPE-SHIFTING HENCH-WOLF!
A SPOONFUL OF SUGAR IS ABOUT TO GO DOWN…IN THE MOST DE-FRIGHTFUL WAY!
In the wake of Sweetie’s candy-coated carnage at the Ice Cream Bunny, a mysterious figure appears with a reckoning for its ring-pop branded survivors. Enter Candy Wolf, Sweetie’s lycanthropic wolf-at-arms. He’s a shapeshifter with a taste for licorice twists and the blood of bad eggs who warrant his violent wrath…all served in the name of sweet, sweet justice.
Will their rebirth marks reveal the person beneath as naughty – or nice? Is revenge sweeter than honey? Could a sweet new life await Pixie Stix, resident dancer of the once-dive bar? Now that the Ice Cream Bunny is under the newly appointed management of an enchanted Christmas tree named Tinsel, will all be merry and bright? Exactly who and what is Sweetie, and what is her mission? Treat yourself to a heaping spoonful of sugar and watch it all go down in the most de-frightful way in SWEETIE CANDY VIGILANTE #2: “Run this Town.”
