The second issue of the most-anticipated series of 2024 tells the story fans have been waiting for for over 30 years: yes, it’s “When Buddy Met Stinky!”

Through flashbacks to late ’80s suburban New Jersey, to present day Tacoma, Washington, Buddy is forced to confront the memory of his departed friend, Stinky (who unexpectedly left this mortal plane back in1997’s Hate #27) and his own role in Stinky’s final resting spot.

Bagge’s razor sharp humor and beloved cast of characters have never been better!
