An evil so profound it threatens all mankind... the mightiest heroes on the planet uniting to defend us all... a secret crisis of such utter finality that a countdown to civil or infinite war seems unavoidable... but have you ever wondered what really happens during Crossovers? The Seven, Payback, Teenage Kix, Fantastico and every other supe on Earth team up for an annual event like no other... and where the supes go, can a certain 'five complications and a dog' be far behind? Vought-American prepare to make their move, in a story that will change the world o more
Garth Ennis does an incredible job in The Boys #1, and the artistic style of Darick Robertson fits the writing like a puzzle piece. If you, like me, are tired of reading the same Batman story for the 15th reboot, strapped down with DC's PG rules and character guidelines, then this series is an absolute must after issue one.

As I mentioned above, this is definitely a Mature Readers title. What makes it mature is not just the sex scene, or the rough language, or even the violence, it's the entirety of the package. While it may appear to be gratuitous, it's all there for a reason. Ennis & Robertson are building their own little universe here. One in which the heroes are not always pure of heart. And because of that, a team like The Boys is needed. I know I'm definitely on board until the end. And, as much as I don't like comparing one title to another, if you're a Preacher fan, you're going to love this book! Read Full Review
The first issue of The Boys only reinforces my impression that Ennis is a one-trick pony, and if youve never heard of his one amazing trick, its called Preacher and you really should give it a try. Its one of the most clever, original, insightful and heartfelt reads in comics, but if you dont like that kind of stuff, you could always settle for The Boys. Read Full Review
If you just started reading this series, the best is yet to come. Pretty graphic and somewhat vulgar, but that's what you should expect from Garth Ennis. It's a decent start to a classic series filled with irreverence towards the superhero genre.
Not that good as I thought it would be, but it's still a nice set-up for the story. I didn't watch the series, so I have nothing to compare it with.
