I feel like this comic came out too early to be appreciated. From the looks of things comic book fans weren't quite ready for Vaughn's vicious and confused antihero. But it was clear he had a blast while writing it. The hyperviolence and viciousness made this a tricky read but I thought tefe was a fascinating character.
