Anybody's reading Super F*ckers, by James Kochalka? Quoting from iComics.com (I'm on "lazy mode" today...):

"Super F*ckers is for all intents and purposes Kochalka's take on books like Legion of Super-Heroes, with groups of teenaged super-heroes that have formed teams to fight evil. What's so great about Super F*ckers, though, is that Kochalka's characters act like real teenagers. They fight, they bicker, they light up, wonder who likes whom, and then they fight some more... all without having to leave the clubhouse! To be fair, though, there's more than just that as an attraction to Super F*ckers. Kochalka's created some really clever character concepts (amidst a host of Legion knock-offs), like Vortex who has an earlier version of himself in a time pocket contained in a bottle, or the girl who has to brush her hair 1000 times to charge up her energies. Kochalka tosses out ideas left and right with impunity, almost disorienting the reader with the assault of silly, crazy things on every single page."

So, anybody reading it?
Its f*cking f*nny, and the characters swear like there was no tomorrow.

yeah i'v read that issue pictured above. you're right it is a really funny take on superheros. I really like Kochalka's drawings and dialogue style- superheros as lazy boorish teenagers.


i also thought the piss take of the danger room was hilarious.
