The real world is sorely lacking in real life supervillains. Now, I'm not talking about pure evil, the world is loaded with that; I'm talking more about the evil genius, world-dominating, super-powered sort of supervillain that gives Batman or Spider-Man a run for their money.
Thanks to artist Butcher Billy out of Brazil, we're given some real world supervillains presented in comic book form. From Stalin, to Hitler, to Mao, to Charles Manson and even Mark Zuckerberg, no one is safe from the Butcher's social commentary artwork. All of the real life supervillains here and mashed up with supervillains from popular comic books. Bizzaro Superman, The Green Goblin and The Joker are all present and accounted for.
It's all ripped right from reality into the comic book page.
