The Odd Squad #1



When the security of the nation is threatened by supernatural forces that transform citizens into strange and unusual creatures, the defunct Office of Dimensional Defense (O.D.D.) is reinstated with eccentric UFO-ologist Charlotte Springs as its new director. Quickly, she tries to recruit the best paranormal investigators in the country to complete her team. However, they're NOT AVAILABLE and she must settle for less than second best. Now, the fate of the world is in the hands of these clueless underdogs that includes a geeky grad student, a Vegas charlatan psychic, and Charlotte's ditsy (but hot) sister, and with the aid of a jobsworth FBI agent with a bad attitude, the ODD Squad confronts life-altering danger, bold face skepticism, flying lingerie models, and a shadowy agency that doesn't want the truth exposed.

Created and written by Nick Capetanakis & Todd Livingston. Illustrated and lettered by Brendon & Brian Fraim. Colored by Matt Webb.

This is a good comic, with lots of humour and funnies, a bit like a movie or TV script in comic form, a bit like the X-Files, Eureka and Ghostbusters rolled into one. Nice one.
