This is going to hurt! In a world where costumed heroes soar through the sky and masked vigilantes prowl the night, someone's got to make sure the "supes" don't get out of line. And someone will! Billy Butcher, Wee Hughie, Mother's Milk, The Frenchman, and The Female are The Boys: A CIA-backed team of very dangerous people, each one dedicated to the struggle against the most dangerous force on Earth - superpower! Some superheroes have to be watched. Some have to be controlled. And some of them - sometimes - need to be taken out of the picture. That's when you call in The Boys! Contains: The Boys Vol. 1: The Name of the Game & The Boys Volume 2: Get Some

0 0The premise is interesting-why do superheroes get to run around, leave messes, collateral damage, etc? But The Boys was not interesting. A world where the top crime fighters, people who you think keep you safe (and are mostly male) are actually sexual assaulters, murderers, and their worst characteristic: gay?? Like wow, I can't imagine a world like that....
I'm not even mad at the shock value (gore, sex) except when it doesn't add anything to the story. Shock can only last so long.
To be fair, I am not the target audience for a storyline that mainly deals with homophobia and explaining that gay people are people too and you shouldn't hate them for no reason.
The illustration was good. Maybe I'll try Preacher.
