Unlike Roach, Weissman's \"kids\" each have their own supernatural features: there's Li'l Bloody, the vampire toddler; X-Ray Spence with his, well, take a guess. Think \u003ci\u003eOur Gang\u003c\/i\u003e meets the Universal Monsters, with a tad of \u003ci\u003eSpeed Racer\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003ePeanuts\u003c\/i\u003e thrown in for good measure!
