B.U.G.G.S.

B.U.G.G.S., from Acetylene Comics, launched in 2001 as a four-issue miniseries that follows a covert government agency tasked with policing superhuman activity through bureaucratic, often absurd, means. Known for its satirical take on spy and superhero tropes, the series is most associated with creator and writer Tom Peyer, whose sharp dialogue and offbeat humor define its tone. Though brief, B.U.G.G.S. stands out as a cult favorite for its clever deconstruction of genre conventions within the indie comics landscape of the early 2000s.
