Wicked Comix Releases “Suicide Squad XXX: An Axel Braun Parody”

Braun’s Big-Budget Parody Hits Stores as Mainstream Counterpart Scores Record Opening

LOS ANGELES, CA – Wicked Pictures is pleased to announce that its first 4K Ultra HD production, Suicide Squad XXX: An Axel Braun Parody, is now available on DVD nationwide, following its August 3rd premiere on wicked.com. Porn parody king Axel Braun’s spoof is emerging as an instant hit with viewers and retailers alike, while its mainstream inspiration, Warner Bros’ Suicide Squad, just scored a record opening weekend with $135M domestic and $267M worldwide, although it continues to flounder with critics. Despite such high-profile stars as Will Smith, Margot Robbie, Jared Leto and Cara Delevingne, director David Ayer’s film has been rated a dismal 26% by influential review aggregate Rotten Tomatoes.

Thankfully for Wicked and Braun, the porn version is faring exponentially better, and Hollywood has been quick to take note, with noted mainstream filmmakers The Soska Sisters, hosts of the GSN horror game show Hellevator, raving to their social media followers “Axel Braun is killing it!! We love Tommy Pistol’s Joker – he’s right on the money.”

In addition to Tommy Pistol in an award-worthy turn as the Joker, Braun’s mega-production features a stellar cast led by Kleio Valentien – reprising her 2015 AVN award-winning role as Harley Quinn from the blockbuster Batman v Superman XXX – Wicked contract megastar Asa Akira as Katana, Anna Bell Peaks in a star-making role as Killer Frost, rising starlet Katy Kiss as Poison Ivy and Axel Braun Productions contract girl Riley Steele as the bewitching Enchantress. The cast is rounded out by adult legend Lexington Steele as Deadshot, Charles Dera in his second outing as Batman, following his debut in Braun’s Supergirl XXX, Owen Gray as The Riddler, and an absolutely fantastic Seth Gamble, who went as far as hiring an Australian dialect coach to properly portray Captain Boomerang.

Valentien’s iconic work as Gotham City’s favorite psychotic crime queen has made her a cause célèbre in the thriving world of cosplay, where she’s earning raves on sites as diverse as Die-Screaming, 9gag, CelebJihad and Reddit’s Cosplay Girls. Since the film’s safe-for-work trailer was released, tributes to Valentien and her castmates have continued to spread exponentially across social networks like Pinterest, Tumblr and others. The stylish safe-for-work trailer may be viewed on YouTube (https://youtu.be/fEnSf6Otqe0), where it has received 300,000 views in ten days.

For his part, Braun couldn’t be happier with the enthusiastic attention his latest release is attracting. “Sometimes the journey is more important than the destination, and this project really was a fantastic journey with an extraordinary cast and an amazing crew, and with the support of the best adult company in the business. The fact that it’s receiving so many accolades is first and foremost a validation to the effort and dedication of all these people, and I am beyond proud and thankful to have had the opportunity to work alongside them.”

Wicked Pictures President and Owner Steve Orenstein concurs, adding, “Axel shows again that he has a deep understanding of what both the comic book and porn fans want. It’s exciting to hear the buzz around the title from distributors, retailers and fans alike.”
