TODAY'S GONNA BE A GOOD MOTHERFUCKIN' DAY!!!

I've had the displeasure of reading the entire thing and it feels like the product of some 14-year-old on DeviantArt going through an edgy phase. Every page might as well have an aside by Millar saying "Are you offended yet, readers? Look how DARK and HORRIBLE this is!" Once you get past the shocking subject matter, though, there's pretty much nothing there. The terrible art undermines any emotional impact, there are no sympathetic characters, and the plot is little more than "bad things happen." The only really memorable thing about the comic is Troy Hicks looks like Mean Gene Okerlund.

Yeah, I read this (for free online after five seconds of looking for it because nobody wants to make money off of it) after Lord of Booty brought it up in another thread and had pretty much the same reaction. It's an empty shitpost of a comic that doesn't even bother using disturbing imagery most of the time, just characters talking about dark poo poo in a golly gosh gee-willikers voice. That voice is the main evidence that, as OP stated in that thread, this is terrible comedy and not horror as Millar tried to rebrand it later.

Also lol that it took three years to publish four issues of this tripe.

In retrospect, once I realized how toxic and reactionary this and issue three are beneath the shock jocking, I did actually find a scrap of anger to throw at this dipshit.

This is what the comic reminds me of right now.
