Epic Ennis
|
|
As a fan of Ennis you really can guarantee the quality of not only the story arcs but the graphical nature to which these compendiums pay homage to. Its fun, it's a dark twist on the world to which the characters inhabit and lets face it, if you're fed up with goody two shoes Superhero characters its great to see the fallibility of these paragons of mankind. Ennis does it with spades with his usual dark humour and mind twists his way through the stories. Great fun and to be honest something that I really have to recommend to the older fan of the graphic novel due to the adult nature blended within the story arc. Epic action with an adult twist as Superheroes discover that there's a price for vice and screwing over the little guy.

Garth Ennis at his chaotic best

Brilliant. Great read. Shocking. Funny. Superlatives simply arent enough to describe this. If you thought Preacher was good, you're going to love this one! In a somewhat odd box world of a new pantheon of Supes strutting their stuff(ala Bendis with Powers style) we follow The Boys who go about exacting retribution on these untouchables, these being an interesting mix of; Mockney hardman, a wee Scottish fella, a goth japanese slaughterhouse, a large American called "mothers milk" ! and an eccentric Frenchman. It sounds bizarre, and it is, but it so, so works. The art work is wonderful, the writing is tight and witty, and you will not be disappointed. You'll read it and think "I'm going to re-read that one again".

Boys don't cry!

The fine art captures the superb action, and as much gritty realism as you can fit in a superhero graphic. A world seen when the rose tinted glasses have been lost. A fantastic idea which has been well crafted, and will leave you drooling for more.

Garth Ennis at his brilliant best. Guts, Gut laughs and simon pegg. If you liked "the preacher" you will love this. A clever and interesting take on the superhero genre with plenty of deep dark humour. Wholeheartedly reccomended! I cannot wait for the next installment! This reeks of quality!

Garth Ennis is a Genius!

Once again Garth Ennis demonstrates his brilliance in this unique and hilarious graphic novel. The story follows the exploits of Hugh Campbell who after witnessing his girlfriends demise is enlisted into "The Boys" a CIA funded team trained to deal with super heroes who step out of line. As with most of Garth Ennis's work it is packed full of violence, gore, nudity and plenty of politically incorrect humour which will have you laughing well into the night. Believe me when I say that after reading this you will never be able to look at super heroes in the same way again.
