Critics

Audience

A group of vigilantes takes on a powerful corporation and its celebrated superheroes, exposing the corruption and abuse hidden behind their public image. Armed with grit, suspicion, and a willingness to fight dirty, they pursue justice in a world where heroism has become big business.

My take

You’ll like this if you enjoy dark, irreverent superhero stories with sharp social commentary, brutal action, and twisted humor; Not for you if you prefer family-friendly, optimistic, or traditionally heroic entertainment.
