| | The Postmodern Adventures Of Kill Team One |
comment |
A series of ultraviolent novels that satirize the action adventure genre. The story follows the adventures of the eponymous Kill Team One, whose real name is Sid Hansen. Sid is a teenage super soldier of mysterious origin. Trained from birth to kill and do little else, he runs away from the secret government agency that created him and tries to make his way as an everyday person in everyday America. That turns out to be a terrible idea.The series has a dry and irreverent style, often drawing attention to its own shortcomings and overused action adventure tropes, or subverting them altogether. Genre-Busting applies liberally.The books in the series are: Rated R (2014) Godless Murder Machine (2015) Red Scare (2017) #Justice (2018) |

Plot Armor: Sid has this and it is lampshaded liberally. Possibly subverted. Unbeknownst to him, he actually has an alien deflector shield that redirects bullets so they always miss him. |

comment |
Sliding Scale of Idealism vs. Cynicism: Cynicism. So much cynicism. None of the characters are traditionally good people. The best ones are morally ambiguous and the worst ones are beyond vile. Garden variety incompetence leads to some of the most horrific events in the story. |

comment |
Gun Porn: All throughout, real-world firearms are detailed pretty extensively, sometimes going so far as making a sales pitch for the firearm in question. Also taken too literally when Sid and Lily have sex on a pile of guns and ammo. |

Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil: Victor is that kind of evil turned Up to 11. He has "Rape God" tattooed on his chest. He attempts to rape Lily and Helen and is implied to have raped Lily's mother and Amy. |

Deadpan Snarker: Sid. He's seen way too much ludicrous ultra-violence to be anything but jaded by it. Lily to a slightly lesser extent. |
