Satan’s Sodomy Baby

(Dark Horse, 2007)
™ and © Dark Horse Comics, Inc.

With the cover proclaiming this comic “vile, morally reprehensible subject matter” (even for Satan fans…), it uses countless stereotypes and prejudices to insult everyone and everything from farm animals to major religions. And yet, despite that, it contains less blood, gore, nudity and graphic sex than many mainstream titles on the market. Sure, there’s a pedophiliac priest, but when isn’t there? Originally planned as a regular issue in Goon, conservative public outcry resulted in this one-shot special instead—probably contributing to even greater interest and sales than if left alone.

The story kicks off with the birth of a hillbilly’s demonic “butt-baby—a better-endowed version of Hot Stuff, the Little Devil, a wide-eyed innocent with no apparent harmful intentions. Of course, that doesn’t stop the pitch-fork-wielding townsfolk—a scene that gives hilarious new meaning to the term pissed off! You don’t have to be a degenerate or Goon fan to enjoy this book—you just have to lighten up and laugh a little.
