Mary Posa saw an ad for The Butterfly Gang on a bulletin board and fell into small-scale super villainhood nearly by accident. Hey, it pays the bills. She lives in a shitty apartment in Crepe City with two roommates (neither villains or vigilante) and starts flirting with a boy who uses his somewhat unhelpful skill of astral projection to try and fix some of the problems The Butterfly Gang creates in his guise as the Manikin. Morals (and corporal forms) are bound to clash, and some things get broken- like the Manikin's entire body. When a handful of new and reckless super powered people show up in town, things are bound to get complicated. Fast paced, whimsical and charming throughout.

This story starts with a deceptively simple premise: an ugly girl asks a fairy to make her beautiful. Immediately, nearly every man who sees her wants to rape her, while most women want to disfigure or murder her. (Themes of sexual assault run heavily though this book). Beauty, as she is then called, is swept up by a local knight and falls in love with him. But the fairy, Mab, who gave Beauty the blessing/curse turns out to have an agenda- stirring up chaos in the mortal realm. Mab urges Beauty to aim higher than a local knight- why not the king of the land himself? Beauty meets him, and falls in love with him as well. The king is already married, to the ambitious and possibly treasonous sister of the Boar King, his rival. Beauty's king also has a sister who is much, much smarter than himself. The King's sister manipulates her brother into divorcing his first wife and marrying Beauty instead. From there things become increasingly tangled and political, as many different players strive for power over the people and the very future of the land itself. Gorgeously drawn, striking from start to finish.
