– Selv om det er vanskelig å være kredibel pønker hvis du er økonomisk uavhengig og kommer fra et særs velmøblert hjem, har Heavy Parker det som plommen i egget. Han synger i byens beste hardcoreband, har en fet bil og diger leilighet. Missy, kjæresten hans går college utenbys, og Heavy har fritt valg blant byens små pønkfrøkener. Men det han ikke vet, er at Missy kjenner til utroskapen; og nå er hun ute etter hevn.
Brian Wood og Steve Rolston, henholdsvis forfatter og tegner av "Pounded", ironiserer her over det noe underlige ved at hvit middelklasseungdom fremdeles bruker et pønk-image for å vise misnøye med sine trygge og veltilpassede urbane liv. Rolstons rene og karikerte stil formidler Woods skarpe humor på en strålende måte, og samarbeidet deres gjør "Pounded" til en særdeles vellykket og morsom hevnkomedie.
