"Sugarshock": A free Whedon comic book to brighten your Monday

I guess there might be better ways to start a Monday than by reading an online comic by Joss Whedon and Fabio Moon. But there can't be many of them.

Sugarshock is one of several titles in the MySpace Dark Horse Presents collection. In the first issue, "Battle Royale With Cheese," the band Sugarshock (mostly riot grrrls, plus robot Phil on bass) delivers messages to secret government agencies and competes in a Shrimp 'n' Taco Rock-Off on the way to the Intergalactic Battle of the Bands. The lead singer and main character, Dandelion, offers up plenty of Buffy-esque quips. Let's just say I'm already hooked.

New issues will be uploaded monthly and will always be free. Click on over and have a happy Monday!
