Parent Verdict

Despite the comic-book title that draws teens, this is a bleak psychological character study with graphic, realistic murders — including a point-blank shooting on live TV and a stabbing shown in bloody detail. Themes of mental illness, abuse, and societal collapse are handled without comfort. Genuinely 17-plus material.
