I liked the idea for this comic, it's about a school for super villians, and I actually met the writer on Free Comic day, he said that the book was being optioned on the Cartoon Network, so that's pretty cool. I story was pretty good, it follows two twin brothers who are the sons of a supervillian who is slain in battle while they are still young. Ten years later the boys have lived in Foster Care and are given directions to a secret academy for villians...one of the boys is happy with his heritage and the other struggles with the idea of being a villian. I am looking forward to reading more about this story, I had a couple problems with it, one the art was so-so, and another was that midway through it was really obvious the artist had changed because the characters looked really different, that's not cool.

I heard about this book at a convention. The next con I attended I picked it up . Twin brothers with a super villain mother get placed into a school for super villains . There are many fun twist to the story and read all the way to the end in one day. Desperado publishing are such teases for not releasing the last 4 issues into a second volume. They are super hard to find. Great series!!
