The Boys #1 - Wildstorm


This is only the first issue, so I can't critique it to much. But, it's written by Garth Ennis, so you know it going to be fantastic. The artwork is by Darick Robertson, so that's good too. Anyways the basic premise is that with 200,000+ supers running around, there needs to be somebody that can stand up to them if need be. Somebody to Police the Police as it were. So this CIA type organization is putting together a team. They're building it around a "Butcher". I guess he's somebody that used to work for their organization, and he's the baddest of the bad. We get a glimpse at some of the other team members, but not so much. Most of the conversation is with "Butcher" and Susan Rayner, the Director of whatever organization this is. Of course that's after he fucks her. The issue ends with "Butcher" sitting on a park bench next to Hugh Campbell, who I guess is his first recruit. The buildup in this issue is entertaining. It'll be interesting to see where they take the story from here.
