Couscous Express

Brian Wood, Brett Weldele

Love, war, family and the best hummus recipe in New York City

Scooter enthusiast and spoiled brat, Olive Yassin, delivers food for her parents' award-winning Middle Eastern restaurant, Couscous Express. She hates it. It's boring. She would much rather be hanging out with her courier-mercenary boyfriend, Moustafa.

But when the local branch of the stylish and dangerous Turkish Scooter Mafia make a move against the restaurant, she knows she has to do something, anything, to protect her family.

Couscous Express combines delicious food, automatic weapons fire, and scooter culture into a hectic, adrenaline-fueled story of love, family, war, and the best hummus recipe in New York City.

Overheard:

"COUSCOUS EXPRESS is pulped up and pumped up, but it's a window on a part of society you never see. About a girl who delivers food. Who hates her life, and loves it. Who hates her parents, and loves them. Who comes from another culture and is as American as anyone you'll ever meet. It's about life and community. These are also subjects worth talking about, and comics don't. But Brian Wood does."
