Cute. Perfect for 12 year olds.

In this graphic novel, I was introduced to the Super Virgin Squad. They are three teenagers that have super powers because they are virgins. Billie, Stevie and Paulie have made a bomb shelter into their secret headquarters. Their current mission is to save one of their mothers who goes on a date with a guy she met on the internet. They also defend the geeks, nerds and physically weak. After that story, you will find a short story called "That damn neighbor." Its about two guys who drink beer and admire their lawn flaming but their neighbor won't let them.

I have been made aware that SMOSH was on YouTube. I haven't watched it so my review is strictly based on the stories in this graphic novel. I enjoyed it even though it was predictable. It made me laugh and smile. If you want something fun to read, this is it!

I watch SMOSH regularly and I love that some of their characters have been written into a comic series.

The only issue I have with this is trying to read Paulie's dialogue. Yes, he has a speech impediment due to his dental gear, but it's not that easy to read.

I really hope they bring in more SMOSH characters as they go along, like Sergeant Anous, Teleporting Fat Guy and Boxman.

Scratch that... Boxman should have his own comic series.
