Product Description

Product Description

From the sick and twisted mind of Garth Ennis, co-creator of "Preacher", and the vicious pencil of Darick Robertson, artist of "Transmetropolitan", comes a darkly hilarious story that will change the way you look at superheroes forever!Wee Hughie's joined The Boys, a group of covert operatives who police - and when necessary, punish - the super "heroes" (who are usually anything but). His first full case? Investigate the murder of Swingwing, former partner of the Tek-Knight, a man with a fetish so disgusting you'll have to see it to believe it!This hugely controversial new series - which caused an uproar upon original publication - explores the sordid side of superheroics! It is intended for adults only!

5.0 out of 5 stars Epic Ennis, 18 Jul 2008
By Gareth Wilson "drosdelnoch2" - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
As a fan of Ennis you really can guarantee the quality of not only the story arcs but the graphical nature to which these compendiums pay homage to. Its fun, it's a dark twist on the world to which the characters inhabit and lets face it, if you're fed up with goody two shoes Superhero characters its great to see the fallibility of these paragons of mankind. Ennis does it with spades with his usual dark humour and mind twists his way through the stories. Great fun and to be honest something that I really have to recommend to the older fan of the graphic novel due to the adult nature blended within the story arc. Epic action with an adult twist as Superheroes discover that there's a price for vice and screwing over the little guy.

1.0 out of 5 stars Nonsense, 26 April 2009
By Richard Webb "Dr Richie" (Brighton, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Preacher fans beware - this book is truely LAME. It may hold limited appeal for 13 year old readers new to Viz magazine, but otherwise, The Boys is a turgid read.

A silly plot (a pointless whodunnit whocares?) provides a thin vehicle for Ennis' foul mouth and tart dialogue, which were funny when embedded in a great book like Preacher, but just sound tired here. The gay jokes get boring, the tiresome Brit twosome leading the "action" speak in cliches and nothing happened in this book to engage my attention whatsoever.

If cleaning up bad superheroes is your bag, try MARSHAL LAW. If Ennis is your man, stick to Punisher or Preacher.

3.0 out of 5 stars Ok but overhyped, 15 May 2009
By Grev (Brighton) - See all my reviews
  
The Boys is one of those comics you pick up every month that the critics rave about but you can never really figure out why (like the Invisibles, but for different reasons). Okay so it's different from the lame run of the mill U.S. comic product, but a work of genius? Nope. It's full of Garth Ennis's usual trademarks, i.e. lots of rude words and situations, but for all the intent it never really goes anywhere. As I'm writing it's up to issue 30 of 60, and so far the only interesting characters, the Female, the Homelander, and in particular the psychotic Butcher (around whom the whole story revolves) have still barely been explored. So far, so what, basically. Ennis writing a superhero series based on the fact that he hates the whole concept of superheroes should be a lot more interesting than this, frankly (it's certainly not a patch on Marshal Law: Fear & Loathing - now that was REAL hatred of the genre!).

Then again i thought the Ennis series that this is always compared to, Preacher, was a load of overrated cobblers to - which it is.
