Product Description
He's the champion of justice and fast one-liners, a green shape-shifting alien from the planet Nacrum whose primary purpose in life is to protect the innocent and to one-up his roommate in an ongoing battle of pranks and bad jokes. All goes well until a subterranean encounter with a long-forgotten threat changes Decoy's life and threatens the friendship with his only ally on the planet: his best friend. Faced with an identity crisis of cosmic proportions, lovable alien Decoy must team up with his buddy, rookie cop Bobby Luck, to battle meteorological and psychological disaster.
Featuring a painted cover by Joe Chiodo, a foreword by Eisner-Award winner Mike Kunkel (Herobear and the Kid), and over twenty pages of bonus material, including an original storyboard sequence, a Dolphin City police vehicle exhibition, and an extensive pinup gallery. Decoy: Storm of the Century compiles the original four-issue mini-series into an extraterrestrial graphic novel that showcases the talents of creator/penciler Courtney Huddleston and writer Buddy Scalera.

For folks looking for Deadpool humor meets Nightwing with a dash of sci-fi, this is your book. --Tim O'Shea, orcafresh.net
The mix of humor, the conspiracy theory tone and the mystery of Decoy's metamorphosis make for a layered, quirky and fun read. --Don MacPherson, thefourthrail.com

A Pleasure to the Big and Small
This graphic novel is one I recommend for people of all ages.The writing tells a story which is "fun" ,and not filled with hidden messages,at least none that are obvious,about political rhetoric.
The art backs this up in a very clear way.The key words are "fun" and "all ages".
The story is clever and unique.It is not like many other alien stories or books. After a hard day's work that would be relaxing to an adult,and idealistic to a child.
The humor makes your entire body laugh .
I highly recommend it.
