These Hippos Are Hungry … For Blood! Mad Cave Studios has officially raised the absurdity bar with their latest announcement: The Florida Hippopotamus Cocaine Massacre, a four-issue, synth-soaked action-comedy to be published in February. Set in the over-the-top theme park Disco Hippo Wonderland in Flamingo City, the story centres on Jans M'jor Discau – the corpulent park owner with a very bad plan. Discau unleashes Coke45, his ultra-potent new drug, right into the hippopotamus enclosure – and chaos erupts. (Mad Cave Studios) Enter Agent Clarke Nebraska, a government operative determined to bring Discau down, and Miquel, a rogue cop and the older brother of undercover agent Tico Senecoza, who was recently captured. When bullets start flying, the drug gets dumped, and the hippos run wild – it's up to Nebraska and Miquel to form a very uneasy truce. Then a marijuana-smoke–fuelled hurricane floods the park, sending Hippo-Disco Wonderland into ruin and turning the story into an all-out molecular-level fever dream of violence, slapstick, and Reagan-era paranoia. As an added twist, readers will witness the emergence of the Laser Drug Force, the maddest anti-narcotics task force you never knew you needed. A coked-up herd of hippos rampages through a flooded theme park, leaving one agent and a rogue cop to clean up the mess – if they don't kill each other first. Welcome to the glorious wreckage of a D.A.R.E. PSA gone wrong…

The Florida Hippopotamus Cocaine Massacre is written by Fred Kennedy of Dead Romans and Assassin's Creed: Power, and drawn and lettered by James Edward Clark of Evil Comics and Tales to Enlighten. Lennedy says, "I am kind of shocked this book happened… not that I don't think it's good. I think it's amazing! But more because we don't get much silly these days. This book is silly, VERY silly. And I don't think there's ever been a greater need for silly." Clark added, "I'd like to commend Fred and Mad Cave Studio's bravery in seeing this project through to fruition. Together, I hope to open the public's eyes to the very real and imminent danger posed to the public by nature's most vile, disgusting, hateful abomination: The Hippopotamus!"

And before she can rescue him, Miquel—Tico's sexy loose cannon of an older brother beats her to the punch, storming into the park with bullets flying.

Now it's up to Nebraska and Miquel to create an uncomfortable truce to bring Discau down before he escapes!
