\"\"Rolando\u2019s been fired from a marketing gig he hates, which was actually an act of corporate kindness, because he gets severance pay, allowing him to be a screen hermit in his man cave. When his roommates finally drag him out, he ends up abandoning them to go across town with a stranger, Nera, to rock out to his favorite live band. Their epic evening ends up back at Nera\u2019s rundown food truck, which she calls home \u2013 for now.<\/p>\n

Sometime between dancing, drinking, and running from the police, Rolando offered up his savings to fix and outfit the truck. Free-spirited Nera accepts, and their enterprise, Dawgburger, takes to the road. Their culinary success draws multiplying devotees \u2013 and, of course, enemies. Survival of the tastiest is on.<\/p>\n

Edgar Camacho, Mexico\u2019s first-ever National Young Graphic Novel Award winner, creates a visual feast of art so energetic that it constantly breaks through and beyond the panel borders, in a brilliant, saturated palette and stylized, angular figures. Originally published in 2016 and translated into English by Camacho, this promises to be quite the toothsome thrill ride.<\/p>\n
