The shape of it

One universe, several ways in.

InvestiGators is John Patrick Green's hugely accessible comic franchise about Mango and Brash, two alligator investigators who work for S.U.I.T. and solve extremely silly, pun-heavy cases. The main series is bright, fast and joke-dense, with spy gadgets, toilets, villains, robots, science nonsense and friendship at its centre. Agents of S.U.I.T. expands the world through other animal agents and slightly different case styles. The franchise is one of the best modern bridges for reluctant readers who want comics that feel substantial but still prioritise laughs, momentum and visual clarity.
