The
sequel to the cult hit Superf*ckers.
One of the most insane superhero comics ever written. Ostensibly it is
about a group of superhero teens in their clubhouse (or whatever it is) who are
supposed to be righting wrong. However, like Aqua Teen Hunger Force, an actual description of what happens in
the story defies description. Fractured plots and dialogue written by stoners,
abound. The Superf*ckers do nothing but bitch at and beat each other up. It is filled with foul language and
disgusting incidents, and is a hell of a lot of fun.
Some
people might be put off by the seemingly simplistic and bigfoot lined nature
of the art - I know they do, because they’ve yelled it at me repeatedly whenever I've
recommended the previous volume- however it fits in perfectly with the stoner,
slacker, video gaming heroes presented in these pages.
Super
Dan, Jack Krak, Ultra Richard, and Princess Sunshine (among many others) live
in a world of self-indulgence, arrogance, cliquishness, sexual adventure, and
substance abuse. Almost exactly what you expect from a group teens with
superpowers and no parental supervision.
The
material transcends parody and becomes an object of pure surrealness. Neither
the Marx Brothers nor Salvador Dali, could’ve done a better job with the
material. It is the Duck Soup of the superhero genre.
