The Boys #4 - Wildstorm


I really like the direction that they're taking with this book. In this one they're spying on a whorehouse that all the supers frequent. But how do the girls handle someone that's invulnerable, or moves at superspeed, or any number of other powers? Well they snort this drug called blue. It's some type of drug that makes you a super for a short period of time. It's called blue, because it's side-effect is that it turns your urine blue. Anyways Hughie is trying to decide if he wants to stay with the outfit or not. He's really only doing it because they killed his girlfriend. But he's trying to decide if that's reason enough for what they want to accomplish. In the end Butcher, assuming that he wants to stay, pumps him with some blue. Which really freaks Hughie out. I don't really have to say this, but the writing of Garth Ennis is just incredible. Darrick Robertson is also doing a great job on the art chores. This is a neat book, with a really cool premise, and lots of screwed up action. I definitely recommend giving it a try.
