Baby Badass

by David Schrader

Baby Badass is an action comedy set in the semi-distant future about a military experiment gone wrong; a salty soldier clone with the strength of thirty men, impervious to pain, and trapped inside the body of a little baby. Teaming up with the sexy cocktail waitress who saves him, they're on the run from the Government in a country gone mad. It's Sin City meets South Park meets... uh, Universal Soldier? You know, the sorta crappy first one, not the really crappy second one.

Baby Badass is more than a comic book, it's a pitch-perfect parody of the often exploitive, violent, sexist machismo made famous by Frank Miller's Marvel creations. It stars a diminutive anti-hero giving a grizzled performance that riffs on the standard archetypes while providing an original comic identity to the title character.

The broad strokes of this blunt, barbaric comedy are served with a sly sophistication that entwines superhero lore, American bloodlust, and potential future geopolitical events with some of the more extreme elements of our current paranoid political culture. Also, there are lots of poop jokes.

Keep in mind there can be somewhat mature content!
