If the way Vought-American packages The Seven while Butcher shows you the rot underneath hooked you, you’ll love how Soon I Will Be Invincible flips between supervillain Doctor Impossible and cyborg heroine Fatale as a new corporate superteam forms. It’s sharp, funny, and merciless about image versus reality—much like watching Starlight discover what glossy posters don’t show.

You liked peeling back the layers behind The Seven and Vought’s cover-ups. In Watchmen, the Keene Act, Ozymandias’s machinations, and the Comedian’s government ties turn the mask game into geopolitics. If Butcher’s black-ops briefings thrilled you, Rorschach’s investigation and the world-sized conspiracy he uncovers will hit the same nerve.

If following Billy Butcher’s charming brutality and Hughie’s queasy compromises grabbed you, The Blade Itself gives you Logen Ninefingers and Inquisitor Glokta—men who do ugly things and make you care anyway. The way Butcher corrals Mother’s Milk, Frenchie, and the Female for ends that aren’t exactly clean echoes the hard choices and sharp tongues driving Abercrombie’s crew.

If the splatter of those early takedowns—like the Female ripping through goons or Hughie’s first botched field work—didn’t make you flinch away, Kick-Ass won’t either. Hit-Girl’s balletic carnage and brutal reversals strip the glamour off capes the same way The Boys turns every fight into blood, broken teeth, and bad decisions.

If you connected with the messed-up but real camaraderie between Butcher, Mother’s Milk, Frenchie, the Female, and Hughie, the Gentleman Bastards will feel like home. The Lies of Locke Lamora delivers razor banter, elaborate operations, and that same ‘us-against-everyone’ loyalty that keeps the team together when the job goes sideways—just like your favorite chaos in the alleys between Vought cover-ups.
