I don't see how this is a parody. I mean, yeah, obviously the name is a parody, but I don't recognize who the characters are supposed to be imitating, nor do I see how "stopping people from releasing rabbits" is supposed to be mocking what the Avengers do.
I assume that it's taking the notion of a Government sponsored superteam performing acts which enforce those Government policies to the absurd extreme.
If it's a Government sponsored animal research facility then breaking into it is a Federal matter and the team could be called in.
It seems a mite heavy handed and it's not a title I'd follow but I'm pretty sure I've seen worse produced comics marketed during the 90's
Holofoil covers, guns, 'bad-girl' art and Liefeld. Four reasons out of the relative hundred or so I could pick out as to why the 90's sucked for comics. Though it *IS* incredibly important to note that not all 90's comics were bad, just the very prominent ones. It's not like there isn't shit being produced that's a complete waste of paper, and it's not like bad comics stopped being made as of December 31st 1999.
A supergroup fighting what looks to be an Animal Liberation Front-type direct action group? Little bit heavy-handed on the social commentary there, chief.
Hmm drooling butler. pointless and unfunny rabbit death...yeah i see this comic doing well. I mean the creators must have family? I also swear i remember some DC or Marvel character from the 80 with the blue armor deal on.
This is not a parody. Chris Giarrusso does parodies. Colleen Coover. Mad magazine, even. Not this, though. This is simply a collection of very tired comic tropes.
The characters are stereotypically flat: the men all grunting, glowering 'roid cases, the woman improbably stretched, close-mouthed silicon cases (we hate it when our pin-ups have opinions!).
The writing is laboriously stilted in that adolescent Nineties way ("Roll Call"? Come on).
There's been some misinterpretation here. Ordinarily the Preview would appear with the Press Release. I've now posted where that can be found at the top to give a clearer picture.

I'll have you know claiming a work a parody after its release dates back to at least space Mutiny.

Or better yet...
Or that Quagmire rapes Marge, she ends up liking it, and him killing off the Simpsons joke on the Family Guy...
