What's it about?
Sugar Glider is set in Newcastle, England, and follow the exploits of Susie Sullivan, a costumed crimefighter dressed a little like Catwoman, but with a vastly different personality and background. Tales from the Sugar Glider Universe gives us self contained stories from this universe.
Susie only has a few walk on parts in this issue, instead the stories focus on her family, other costumed supergroups, disgruntled cafe employees and loved up young men. The stories don't interlink, instead they provide charming slice of life anecdotes from the Sugar Glider characters' lives. There are a few stories told in the present, but most is told in flashback: 5 months ago.. 4 months ago.. 2 days ago. It finishes in the here and now, interviewing a detective at the scene of a nightclub fit, tempting us to find out more.
Normally we only review trades at New readers... but as this is a small press comic and unlikely to be traded it seems rather unfair not to mention it. So instead it is a 40 page just over A5 in size, magazine style format.
