Summary
Everyone’s favourite Streakers characters-Xavier, Doug, and Tim-return in Nick Maandag’s first full-length graphic novel, Betas. The three friends work in a restaurant together and are desperately trying to find Ms. Right. Tim’s too shy to make any headway, Doug’s constantly putting his foot in his mouth, and Xavier is too pig-headed to even listen to what people are saying. Bad-faith arguments and poorly planned schemes tumble after each other in this pitch black comedy of manners from one of the most gifted satirists in comics.

Critics Review
Nick Maandag is without a doubt the greatest satirist working in comics today. The invisible man in the background hilariously skewering the hell out of everyone. – Noah Van Sciver. A hilarious and entertaining demonstration of how language in the internet age has become weaponized by opportunists from all across the political spectrum, driving us further apart and giving every person in society their own custom-made axe to grind. – Alex Graham
