Synopsis

From the dark and twisted mind of Garth Ennis, co-creator of Preacher and Hitman, and the savage pencil of Darick Robertson, artist of Transmetropolitan, comes a darkly hilarious story that will change the way you look at superheroes forever!

Meet Billy Butcher. He’s not a nice man, and neither are his team: the Frenchman, Mother’s Milk, and the Female. They hate “capes”... and so does Billy’s newest recruit, Wee Hughie, whose girlfriend has just become collateral damage in a super-brawl. But does Hughie know what he’s getting into?

This hugely controversial new series — which caused an uproar upon original publication — explores the sordid side of superheroics! Warning: Adults Only!
