Sid and Ivan are siblings, and they spend a lot of time with the high school drama club. Their mother is the drama coach, and they are rehearsing the high school's latest performance. Near midnight, with the whole crew hungry, the boys are sent to the local Taco place to purchase food for everyone. The restaurant appears busy, but no one seems to be hearing them. Suddenly an alien monster emerges from the shadows, and a pursuit ensues. The Taco restaurant is the epicenter of an alien outbreak, with monstrous copies of items around the world emerging from deep inside the restaurant.
Armed with nothing but a desire for life, the brothers, their driver, and the monsters they encounter fight off against a hive spirit determined to copy and remake the world. Discovering clues along the way, they manage to fight off the monsters, only to realize that destroying the original cause of the aliens will be deadly.
Quirky, Apocalypse Taco features strange artwork and a stranger storyline. The whole story holds together, however, and reveals truths about what it means to be an individual. Fans of graphic novels will appreciate Hale's take on a dystopian world. For more work from Nathan Hale, take a look at Treaties, Trenches, Mud and Blood.
