NOTE: This comic is for adult viewers only, due to sexual content and nudity.
The first-ever Boys spin-off mini-series features the pairing of Ennis with Hitman artist John McCrea and covers by Boys artist and co-creator Darick Robertson! Things heat up at the super-retreat, as new heights of hedonism are scaled and Jack From Jupiter introduces A-Train to the depravity of 'Forbidden'. The Homelander, meanwhile, is indulging in a little peccadillo of his own- one that will have far-reaching consequences for the world's superhuman community. Hughie finds himself talking dirty, Payback get an offer they can't refuse- and the Boys put thei more
Though an improvement over the first issue, the second issue of "The Boys: Herogasm" is still so mired in sex and drug jokes that aren't funny or were at one point until beaten into the ground that it still seems a lesser addition, a watered-down version of the monthly book.

I still dont understand all the subplots and who is trying to outfox who. Although I joined this new series with #1, I still dont know what its purpose is about and why I should care about this comic book. Thats because the writer assumes that you have read the series from which this one spins off from, The Boys.

I should not have to go through years and volumes worth of material to figure out what is happening in the pages of this comic book. Read Full Review
