Bomb Queen - A Bad Role Model

When you are in the mood for political incorrectness, debauchery and everything that goes against truth, justice and the American Way - you can usually turn to something written by Garth Ennis (Preacher, The Pro, the Punisher series "Welcome Back, Frank") or Mark Millar (The Authority, Wanted, Kick-Ass). But a lesser known example of social deviance with absolutely no morally-redeeming value is Bomb Queen - written and drawn by Jim Robinson.

Best described as a super-villain who won her little secret war, she's the unabashed dictator of her own city, New Port City, where she has outlawed all superheroes and every single hypocritical law that prevents her citizens from doing whatever the hell they want - criminal or otherwise but pretty much criminal. Her town is a magnet for the villainous scum that the rest of the country would be glad to get rid of, therefore the American government lets her political entity exist. Thus having full run of her little larcenous kingdom, she basically does whatever she wants, kills whoever she pleases, and fucks whoever catches her eye. Someone pisses her off, she blows them up. Someone REALLY annoys her, she submits them to sexual degradation.

However, the irony with having a population that is as prone to sickening violence as her, she has to remain popular in the public mindset to prevent resistance - and there are many within mainstream American who would love to see a bullet put into her brain. Written with a sly sense of humor that truly pushes your sense of morality to the limit, this hard R series isn't meant for those with delicate stomachs. In fact, I would insist that if you don't come armed with a healthy tolerance for horror movies, HK shoot em ups, pornography and Quentin Tarantino movies, then give this a pass. But if you shrug at the above, enjoy the read.
