As the Top Shelf publicist, I can’t possibly speak about this impartially, of course. But for whatever it’s worth: I see it as a quite different thing than The Boys, not only because Kochalka and Robertson live in completely different artistic universes — although that’s a big part. In Ennis’s comic (of which I admittedly only read the first 6 issues or so) there is something truly sick and wrong and evil with the super”heroes,” and it’s fueled by a sort of righteous indignation. Meanwhile Kochalka’s book is fueled by a great deal of affection for these very, very stupid, naive, and insecure characters. The stakes are much lower. The Boys is about abuse of power; SuperF*ckers is about youth and immaturity.

I thought it was pretty funny myself, at least my inner ten year old did! He gets out sometimes.
