Jesse Sanchez is the Street Angel, urban superhero, martial artist, and world's greatest homeless skateboarder. She deals with ninjas, mad geologists, Incan gods, time lost conquistadors, Blaxploitation heroes, Satanists, Irish spacemen, and one apparently determined giant squid. She also has to endure her harsh life on the sreets, constant hunger, and the embarassment of having classmates see her dumpster diving. Part wacky superhero send-up, part serious drama... you wouldn't think the two could balance so well, but that they do speaks volumes about the talents of Misters Rugg and Maruca.

Are you the target demographic for Aqua Teen Hunger Force? That is to say, high? Then buddy, have I got the book for you! It's got ninja riots, time traveling conquistadors, a dangerous geologist, and other nonsense straight out of a fever dream and onto a comic page!

I loved the idea more than the execution. How could I not love the idea? But the stories were kind of all over the map, and by the time it got to the 70s blaxploitation stuff it felt more like the author was exploring when he should have been editing. Over the top is awesome, but not over the top in every direction.
