'The Boys' appreciation thread!!!

When this occurred I was actually taken aback and shocked. If the series continues like this for me I am in for a rollar coaster of a read

 

And he looks like Gav!

 

 

I've thought that before too!

You know his look was inspired by Shaun of the Dead's Simon Pegg right?

 

You mean Spaced's Simon Pegg right?

Have not watched Spaced yet, but have heard great things about it.

Just an FYI, Simon and Nick Frost's next movie has them playing two comic book geeks taking a road trip across the US.

 

And The Boys kicks .

It's a great show and I would urge anybody to go out and buy the DVD's to watch it. You won't regret it (thumbs u

awesome series!

[comics-rock]

just bought this directly from Robertson.....hopefully he'll ink and sign it before sending it.....

 

ive only owned OA before, the two WD pages where Rick had his hand cut off by the G'vnor, i think EvilAsh bought those off me if I recall...

My favorite comic that I always have at the top of my stack to read is The Boys. Pure enjoyment. It doesn't get any better. I do think it would be almost impossible to translate to the movies unless it is unrated. Although Kick looks like it might work in the movies and probably be rated R.

I read the first couple issues last year and really enjoyed them. Just got a near complete run off eBay and am ready to start tearing through them. Hope it's as good as I remember!

It's a coin flip whether I read WD or The Boys first. The Boys consistently delivers. I was very worried about the "origin" issues (see e.g. Wolverine ) but they were well done so far. Absolutely love this book. The more irreverent, the better.

I also like knowing who reads and enjoys The Boys, it makes me feel like I can say anything I want to them and they won't be offended. You have to be a sick to like this comic

Ennis and Robertson make a great pairing. At times, it's a bit Ennis self-parody...and then you get the moments like Butcher revealing why he does what he does. Love Wee Hughie, the ultimate audience surrogate. A bit of trivia: It was all Darick's idea to model the character after Simon Pegg. Perfect.

 

I've been lucky enough to get some OA from Darick:

Darick still has most of the OA from the series. If you're looking for anything in particular, write him via his website. Or PM me and I'll pass along your info.

Well,I like reading The Boys,so I guess I'm a sick *spoon* :insane: :insane:

[Comicopolis]

Well, if you like The Boys, and I do, then you should also read Preacher - that's if you never have.

I thought about picking up Preacher

[followtheleader]

I don't mean any offense, but I'd take Preacher over the Boys. Not that one has to be chosen over the other. But Ennis' challenge that it out-Preacher's-Preacher, I would disagree. Does it get dirtier? Sure. But I loved the progression of Preacher, as a story, much more than the Boys.
