LIPSTICK CLIQA DELUXE EDITION #1 (OF 3)

From the Ex Posse Universe, Lipstick Cliqa is a fierce all-female gang of shape-shifting vampire cholas! They are led by the fearless Morissa, who expertly wields her trademark razor whip. Morissa's most trusted and twisted cohorts are hard-as-nails Lil Snap and the towering Amazonian Daya. Morrisa and her gang hail from the barrio of East LA, where they fight to protect their home turf from rival supernatural gangs like the Chamberlains and Kill-Town. Combining horror, action, and street culture, Lipstick Cliqa returns in this Deluxe Edition of the original mini-series featuring exclusive back-up material.
