The Boys #10

Today's Review is The Boys #10


Written By Garth "the best writer in comics" Ennis and Penciled by Darrick Robertson

This is the book that every comic reader should be reading. Please for the love of God put aside any prudish nature that you may have and Pick up this book. Start with the First trade and the introduction of the characters or start with the next issue which will be the beginning of the next arc but do yourself a favor and pick this book up. (whats that Garth, oh too much gushing and the check is in the mail, Thank you very Much).

To be honest I am surprised that this book was allowed to be written at a DC imprint for as long as it did. There are indirect references to DC Characters that only a moron wouldn't see. Tek Knight and Swingnight people, c'mon.

This book is the end of the second arc and it just keeps getting better. There are things in here that will offend but not just to offend. All the content in this book does move the story forward. The resolution between the mystery of the death and Tek Knights character arc are neatly tied up with a cute little rainbow bow on top.

The art in this book is weird. It is always good but sometimes the consistency is not always there. What I mean by this is sometimes the characters are drawn just slightly different that you spend some of the book questioning whether Robertson is doing the art or if they have a fill in. But as i stated the art is always very good.

If you can't tell I give this book an A+ and would give it higher if that was Possible but in the Real world there is no such thing as an A++ and we know that we do have to return to the real world when we are done reading these books (right people).

Buy It!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I read the first issue, and I enjoyed it but I think I probably need to pick up the first trade. Just didn't feel issue 1 enough to want to pick up the 2nd.
