Ratings and reviews

I read this book without knowing anything about Mark Miller. This book is strange it seemed to tell us something about our human nature to desire to be more violent out of boredom from the mundane life. If I'm being generous maybe is a meta critique on how we like the villains and their crime culture. I find the character to be unlikable the plot to be kinda predictable. In the end it wasn't a satisfying read maybe this book is just not for me.

The movie is wack. Wack story. Wack casting. The only thing it has in common with the book is that they both have fraternities. End of commonalities. The film would have faired well had it at least existed in the same universe. The book is filled with various super powers and it doesn't hold back while the movie's got one wack power to bend the laws of physics that everyone has. The book is full of bad guys. There are no good guys. Hollywood tried to give the story morals. Fail. Pick up the book.

This book is quite possibly the most mean spirited book ever written. It's a six part sorry about how heroes are dumb and how villains are super cool despite rampant killing, violence, hate, and bigotry. The hero, if you can even call him that is badly written and unlikable, and the villain is unsympathetic. To call this the Watchmen of villains is an insult to Alan Moore. If you want a Mark Millar book that's interesting, read Red Son.
