Reviews for The Boys: v. 1
Heroes Beware
There are comic book writers, and then there is Garth Ennis. He doesn't just write comic books; he creates a new mythology and spins dark fables around them. The Boys is such a mythology. Superheroes have the failings of normal humans, magnified a thousandfold. They need someone to keep them in line, and The Boys fit the bill. Arching from tragedy to farce, nostalgia to hysteria, Ennis' tale of The Boys is incredible. Darkly lampooning the heroes we grew up with, while giving us some anti-heroes to support, Ennis weaves his tale with customary skill. Anyone who read Preacher needs to read The Boys, and be amazed that Ennis has surpassed his previous work. Read the whole series for less that £100 at The Book depository: you will not be disappointed. by Jackie Baker
