the boys volume two
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
i enjoyed this as much as the first this one has two story arcs both action packed and mature as the first i am sorry about this being short but i do not want to spoil it but it retains the kick ass feeling the first one had
An extension of what will soon be an awesome series !

The Boys 2 is a must have, either by itself or with the other volumes (I recommend having all the volumes). Garth Ennis invites you into the flip side of the world of super heroes. Almost real that it's funny, and yes it is for the mature audience.
Funny and Twisted

Talk about shock value, this has it. The first story really sheds a light on those Batman - Iron Man types. The second it just funny, especially the character Love Sausage. Can't wait for the next volume.
An Absolute Must-Buy
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
The second edition of Garth Ennis' new comic series The Boys is absolutely sterling. Now that the first book has established who these characters are, what they do and what kind of world they're living in we start settling in to just what their day-to-day life involves. The first story where The Boys rock up against thinly-veiled Batman-analogy Tek-Knight is definantly the stronger of the two halves, and abolutely hilarious, but the second half and of course the character of Love Sausage is well worth the rereading as well. Thank God for Peter Snejbjerg, or I wouldn't have anything to complain about. At least, I assume it's him who takes over art-duties in the last couple of chapters where the art suddenly goes very... Archie and Jughead. The story stays consistantly strong and the art, although very cartoony, isn't terrible, it just doesn't stack up against the art of Darick Robertson. Robertson's art in The Boys is beyond compare, his attention to detail and mastery of facial expression are a big part of the reason this series should be soaking up the spotlight, and I sincerely hope the cartoony switch in the last couple of chapters isn't an indication of more sharing between artists in the future.
You have to read this to believe it

No matter how I describe Garth Ennis' The Boys, nothing said will do it fair justice. What is contained in the pages of this second collection of Ennis' controversial series must be seen and read to be believed to be sure. As Get Some opens, Butcher, Wee Hughie, and the rest of the crew learn some more shady going's on with a prominent, Batman-esque superhero; whose former sidekick may be linked with a hate-crime murder. Things don't get any simpler for The Boys either, as they soon depart for mother Russia, with deadly foes already waiting for their arrival. The Boys is filthy, hysterical, and perfectly displays Ennis' disdain for the superhero genre, while Darick Robertson provides more solid artwork as well. While Get Some isn't as memorable as the first volume, The Name of the Game, make no mistake that you will be laughing out loud after the first few panels. All in all, The Boys continues to impress, and this further proves that this very well may be Ennis' next, great, series that will be cherished for a long time coming.
