This savage satire imagines a world where corporate-owned superheroes are corrupt celebrities, and a band of vigilantes sets out to expose them. Brutal, profane and razor-sharp about fame and power, it gleefully demolishes the superhero myth. If its gory cynicism and bite hooked you, seek out subversive superhero series and dark satires that turn icons into monsters and ask who really holds the power.
