Wild as in exciting or wild as in nonsensical?

Wild as in each issue gets crazier than the last. They reference real life events and show the protagonists killing actual people. For instance there's a scene where the protagonists kill
Zimmerman
they redacted the name in the comic but they make it very obvious who its supposed to be

Have any of y'all read a comic called They Choose Violence? it's a comic about a group of black women who get frustrated with the lack of justice for hate crimes against black people and decide to take justice into their hands. I read the first two issues and it's pretty wild :skip:

I saw “Blerd Without Fear” review this last month on his YouTube channel. It reminds me of a more violent version of Marvel’s “Black Hawk”. The black vigilante who went around beating up racist cops/kkk. Just think if Marvel had released that in THIS climate.

Is it that good?

I picked up the first few issues because a podcast I listen to was raving about it but I didn’t read them.

Maybe I will catch up

It is SO good! I read both traces of the first two arcs cover to cover…..and still manage to find hidden gems! An the characters are so RICH and have an interesting dynamic. It’s basically what if The Hulk, Professor X, Magneto, John Constantine, Superman were the only MEGA powerful super humans on Earth an decided that they should form a pact to not fight each other because it would destroy Earth AND to also protect Earth from any threat……while simultaneously not really liking each other and the United States scared to death of them,
