The Pro by Garth Ennis
4.0
That was... something. Classic Garth Ennis and his subversion of all things superhero. While obviously exxagerated, I feel this was a pretty realistic portrayal of the scenario of a prostitute being given superpowers she didn't ask for and she doesn't want, followed by everyone expecting her to suddenly be all goody two shoes and not seeing the reality of the shitty world so many people see. I enjoyed the commentary on superheroes not focusing on issues which actually matter and help the poor and needy. Look past the gratuitious violence and overt nudity and you'll see a pretty good, unique message that is usually lacking in contemporary superhero fiction - supers not focusing on the usual and mundane and real problems of society.
Also, come on, those parodies are pretty funny, to be honest. I do love me some toilet humour.
4 stars because it was too short. Would have wanted to see at least a sequel or two.
