Helpful Score: 1
The story is dark and twisted and along the premise of 'who watches the Watchmen?' and I really liked this concept. It shows that superhumans are precisely that- HUMAN. Power corrupts and the supes are not beyond that character flaw. So who checks that power? That is where The Boys come in. They are a government- backed group, each person with their own personal score to settle with the supes. It gets graphic and bloody and very close to X rated. All good things by my calculations.
However, I am not a fan of graphic novels in general. I prefer solid text and to let my imagination paint the picture. The frames- although well done- interrupt my reading and I find that frustrating.
For anyone who enjoys graphic novels, I'm sure you'd love this one. If you're not a fan to begin with, I don't see this one doing much to convert you.
