The Boys

The Boys is an American creator-owned comic book series, written by Garth Ennis and illustrated by Darick Robertson. It was originally published by Wildstorm before moving to Dynamite EntertainmentThe series is set in a contemporary world very much similar to real one, with one notable exception: a number of people have some form of superpower. The series follows a superpowered CIA squad, known informally as “the Boys”, whose job it is to keep watch on superheroes and, if necessary, intimidate or kill them.

Ennis has said that the series will “out-Preacher Preacher” ^[1], presumably referring to the extreme violence and sexuality that were that series’ hallmark. He has also stated that he expects the series to last for approximately 60 issues.

Maybe its because i like the fact that the two lead characters are British (English & Scots), but I really enjoy this series - I got the TPB the other day I now I want more! Ennis style of writing is fantastic and I enjoy his work on Punisher MAX. He has a grim and graphic sense of humour. The key idea about the heroes and keeping them in check is one that has be touched upon in ‘Watchmen’ & ‘The Incredibles’ and even in the Marvel Civil War - but not to this extent - I would also mention ‘Top 10′ in this list.
The characters are being well built up and the end of each arc leaves you waiting for more!

The arct is amazing too, and I like the individual traits all the characters have.
