A hilariously gruesome, offensive and explicit rodeo of extreme violence and superhero satire.
Dave Lewzeski is your typical high school comic book nerd that daydreams about being a superhero. After beating the stuffing out of some run of the mill thugs while dressed in a ridiculous green spandex uniform, he starts a crazy new trend of normal everyday folks dressing up in imaginary superhero costumes to beat the crap out of lowly criminals to go viral on the internet. Seems like a pleasant trend at first, but it quickly spirals out of control into a deadly fiasco of murder, kidnapping and extreme gang violence. There’s only one superhero that might just be the real deal, and she’s a katana wielding middle schooler named Hit-Girl.
This was a lot of fun, like Scott Pilgrim with the brutal insanity of Preacher and The Boys. The characters are incredibly flawed, but they are so batshit crazy and maniacally outrageous, you can’t help but love their wild antics.

I think I would probably hate the characters then unless they had some redeeming qualities then maybe I would give them some interest.

Hoping for a deluxe or library edition now that he is with Dark Horse. Only reason I haven't read it yet as I wasn't buying any trades.

Hopefully we get one in the near future, Dark Horse has brought us a lot of great comic and manga omnibuses these past few years.
