2.0
The love for pulp adventure fairly crackles, and the concept ("of course the pulp heroes, teens or no, are psychopathic bad guys") is fine, if a little trite, especially in these post Venture Brothers days. The main problem is there's no place to stand. Our point of view characters are selfish, deranged, sexually precocious to a skin crawling degree, and so we can't celebrate their casual attitude or smirking coolness no matter how bad the Lovecraftian (literally, and literally) opposition is. The pulps were at least fun and there's really no fun to be had here.
