[Jack · Rating 3 out of 5]

Read an ePub rip of the first three issues, which I think constitutes the ones in the original collection. This is fun edgelord silliness, like Spawn with hardcore sex and violence (except a few years before Spawn - you have some explaining to do, Mr. McFarlane!). Mostly this makes me annoyed again about the Comics Code Authority because if they hadn’t forced the industry to water itself down in the 1950s we wouldn’t be dealing with nearly 40 years of gritty reactionary deconstructions of the superhero genre.

What in the unwashed edgelord was this?

Jesus H... this was borderline unreadable. Like, if the energy of The Boys was distilled in a highschool locker room and injected with a healthy dose of female rejection and Monster energy drinks.

I cannot recommend this to anybody. Even if you see it in a bargain bin at a used book store, your precious seconds on earth are worth more than the time it takes to open the cover.

0/5

Take the long lessons learned from the Watchmen mixed with the indie sensibilities of the black and white invasion/Turtle comics, with the worst excesses of the Image Revolution and you have this comic.

The Crow meets Wolverine. Dated yet awesome art wedded to cynical and indulgent pap.

truely horrendous, had to cross this one off the comic fanatic bucket list but it's a hard read
