Gangster Ass Barista

In the hyper-stylized, neon-lit world of Gangster Ass Barista (2023–present, Black Mask Studios), writer Pat Shand and artist Renzo Rodriguez serve up a gritty, darkly comic crime saga where a barista with a hidden past and a talent for violence navigates a world of mobsters, mayhem, and caffeine-fueled chaos. This three-issue series stands out for its bold, punk-rock aesthetic and its clever subversion of the everyday, proving that even the most mundane job can hide a bullet-riddled heart.
