Beef Squad - Physical Copy
£6.00
In a world where comics are dominated by superheroines and social awareness it's hard for men to feel like they have a role to play. With barely a single positive male role model out there how can men and boys and man-boys identify with mainstream media? But do not fret, Beef Squad is here to answer all your prayers! Finally a comic that shows that men are so much more than square jaws and external genitalia, they can be superheroines too!
Frigi-DEAD, le Petit Mort, Superbiawoman-Boy, the Flying Scotsman, the Chippeninja, they are BEEF SQUAD. Finally a superheroine team made up entirely of males, without even a token woman to do all the work for them. Believe it or not, even a man can be a superheroine if he believes in himself enough.
40 pages (standard US comic print size). Parental Advisory for language and nudity (non-explicit)
Cover colours by NL Ashworth, guest art by Dan Boultwood, Samn Judge, Mikoto, Ego Rodriguez and Emma Vieceli
"Superhero comics' true magic is making you believe wondrous, impossible things. Beef Squad does that exactly. Read this. You will believe a man can be a superhero. No, really." - Kieron Gillen (The Wicked + The Divine, DIE, X-Men)
"The Beef Squad has all the thrust we need to send male representation into the stratosphere! Never before has the male hero been more bulging, more virile, more eruptive than right here! Beef Squad will blow your mind...and maybe something else too!" - Joe Glass (The Pride, Acceptable Losses, Glitter Vipers)
"It’s a sassy and sarcastic premise. We sometimes need that sort of thing to point out the dim-wittedness in which we are all drowning most of the time anymore, but the charm here is that it doesn’t stop after rolling its eyes at some dumb notions. Beef Squad happily and frantically bounds forward like a friendly, sexy beagle of comedy that just wants to be best friends with a foxy idea.
I think people who like pinup boys, coy up-kilt shots, laughing, and shaking their heads in bewilderment will enjoy this little sweetheart of a comic." - Jen Van Meter (Hopeless Savages)
