Comic Book: Bomb Queen
Long Live The Queen...
"Well shit is different here Barbie. I run the show in New Port City. I run it my way. The villain, got it!? Murderers, rapists, pedophiles and drug dealers don't wait for some asshole superhero or dial up Invincible when shit gets fucked up. Heroes aren't welcome in this town. People here want some one who represents them. That's me... The Queen!" —Bomb Queen
Bomb Queen is an American comic book character, created by Jimmie Robinson. She first appeared in
Image Comics '
Bomb Queen Vol. 1, #1, and has subsequently appeared in six limited series, two single-issue specials, a
crossover in
Savage Dragon #134, and a crossover one-shot issue with
Hack Slash .
The Queen is a villainess who has eliminated and subsequently banned all superheroes from the fictional city of New Port City. She rules the city as a benevolent dictator; the limitations she has placed over the city's criminals have made her a
popular leader .
Famous for being Worse Than It Sounds, yet still
apparently being popular enough to have six miniseries .
