the Boys #7 - Dynamite Entertainment


This book is finally back. It's only been a 5 month wait. But it was all worth it. First of all the book changed publishing companies. They went from WildStorm, to Dynamite Entertainment. From what I hear it was a amicable transition. My guess? The characters and plot of this story, doesn't really fit in to the WildStorm universe. But . . . it's a fantastic concept. So rather that scrap it, they simply moved it to a little up and comer, Dynamite, that shows some real potential. And they kept the same creative team. Actually Ennis & Robertson were the ones that created this book also. So . . I believe it worked out good for them. Congratulations to both companies for being able to work out such an agreement. And congratulations to the creators for being able to keep their dream alive. Without compromise. I think it was a "win-win". And the wait was worth it, because this was a pretty cool story. I don't want to give to much away, because I really think this one is worth buying. I'll just tell you that it involves a cape with an obsession. A dark, seedy, crossing the line of intimacy obsession. Our team, led by Butcher, doesn't know about his transgressions yet. But they're about to get a glimpse of them from the crotchety old man that's shown on the cover. And then they'll be left with no choice but to take matters in to their own hands. Fantastic story. And fantastic art. Now if they can just stay on track, get this book back on a regular schedule, I think that they are going to have a huge hit on their hands. Good luck guys. My fingers are crossed.
