from dynamic forces.



most entertaining book i've read this year. kickbutt no-holds-barred ennis, just the way i like it. it's funny, vicious, titillating, and so damn awesome.

u sure read a lot :mellow:

[thinking] I might have to pick it up sometime.

it's ennis at his best, so i think you'd enjoy it rogue.

Liked this book hope the old torrent comes back online. the heroes in the whore house was funny...

I picked it up on saturday. I didn't really get in to it at first but I stuck with it and I found that I couldn't put it down.

Is this the only volume out at the moment?

yep, first and only volume. it starts deceptively slow, but ennis hasn't failed me yet when it comes to this sort of genre. he did something similar on hitman.

whats it about ?

here's the official solicit:

it's kinda like stormwatch team archilles, a team of non-superpowered operatives keeping superheroes in line. but funnier.

the second volume will be out in early june, rogue. [barney]

I think I read somewhere they'll be making a movie about it :unsure:

The Boys :thbsup:

The only thing I don't really like about it is the fact that Wee Hughie is Simon Pegg, and if they make a movie they will put Simon Pegg in it. :xy:

Still cool news tho :thbsup:

rogue, i got vol 2 today. and i'm pleased as fug. :omgomg:

roguey, the 2nd volume isn't as good. :cartman:

:damn: Is there going to be another volume after this one?

yes, it looks like it. vol 2 isn't bad, just that it isn't as good as vol 1.

this would make an excellent banner....... [whutntme]

:lollol: :lol: bloody 'ell jokey ... :haha: you'd like the book, i think. :baby:

yeh, suck on that nipple

Believe it or not I found me a copy of volume one. Im at a lost. The story was good, intriguing and the concept alone earned it points along with the fact it found a way to involve Simon Pegg which, lets face it, every other comic needs now and then and yet...I found it was reaching for straws. As if it was going out of its way in order to be excessivly violent, which in moderation can be done to great effect but this well it kinda took the cake and of course that entire sequence about forcing a woman to give three men oral sex or leave, combining the fact that this was coming from a Superman analogue no doubt, was something that really didnt sit well with me.

Call me a conservative but the redeeming qaulity of this book was the story proper and the humour. Not something i'd plan to read twice


im sorry KC

heh no worries, adam. maybe the book appeals better to the depraved. :lollol:

I find Ennis' use of curse words and ultra violence forced as well...

Indeed :lol:

I got Vol 2, haven't read it yet but I will let you know when I do [lollollol]

ok roguey ... vol 2 has russian love sausage :lollol: not as good as vol 1 though imo.

...Love Sausage? ;hmmm;

oh yeah these books are heading in a real direction here. Its actually startiing to sound very Tarentino. A possible director maybe [thinking]

Hey KC check this out:

Matt Manfredi and Phil Hay will adapt The Boys for Columbia Pictures, says The Hollywood Reporter.

Neal H. Moritz and his Columbia-based Original Films are producing the project, which adapts the comic book created by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson.

The comic follows the adventures of a CIA squad, known informally as "the boys," whose job is to keep watch on the proliferation of superheroes and, if necessary, intimidate or eliminate them.

Manfredi and Hay also wrote the comic book adaptation R.I.P.D., which is in development at Universal.

ooooh cool roguey. :drool2: prolly rated then, at the very least. :omgomg: [lollollol]

:lol3: Yeah or they would have to cut a ton of stuff out of it.

but without the blood and gore and gratuitous sex scenes, it wouldn't feel like the book. :lollol: wonder who'd play the female ... someone short and nondescript - janeane garofalo maybe.

Without the blood and gore and gratuitous sex scenes, it would be a completely different book :lol3:

Whoever plays the female wont have many lines to learn :grin:

true. they should just make it part-porn / part-ufc / part-guy-richie-movies.

btw i just got book 3, roguey.

Please no...I would be unable to watch it if they choose her...she is so annoying.

I just started reading this series myself...I decided to read the trade at the shop and that got me to get the issues...I think the book would be better without the bullshit sexd scenes though...it seems like they just throw the shit in there because they can...

heh i didn't mind the bullshit sex. but i'm depraved so ... :lollol:

oh i know, they should get tera patrick ... :omgomg: [lollollol]

heh...she's been around awhile...isn't she worn out by now? :lol:

this book is fucking great!! omg, wait'll you find out what happens the first time Hughie and Annie January hook up! (issue 17). :roflmao:

I am all caught up...that was pretty funny...how he could not tell is beyond me.

:omgomg: :roflmao: funniest thing i've seen in a comic book in years!
