Lee Anderson
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.

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.

Awesome book! Love the story on all the little shout outs to popular comics in the main stream. The language can get a little wince inducing with all the swearing, but a great read none the less.
