The Pro is a short graphic novel written by Garth Ennis, with pencils and lettering by Amanda Conner and inks by Jimmy Palmiotti. It was originally published by Image Comics in 2002.
[edit] Plot
A parody of more mainstream comics it details the brief career of a prostitute given superhuman powers by the Viewer (himself a parody of Uatu from the Marvel Comics universe) she reluctantly joins the League of Honor, comprising of;
- The Saint (a Superman parody)
- The Knight (a Batman parody)
- The Squire (a Robin parody)
- The Lady (a Wonder Woman parody)
- The Lime (a Green Lantern parody)
- Speedo (a Flash parody)
Together they fight an array of lackluster villans such as The Noun and The Adverb, until her coarse language, violence, retribution and her giving The Saint a blowjob result in her being expelled from the League. She rejoins them to fight a terrorist attack, flying into space holding a nuclear bomb facing certain death, more in an effort to save the life of her young child than anyone elses in the vicinity.
There is another related short entitled "The Pro Vs. The Ho" in which The Pro squares off with a 12-armed prostitute.
