    Dealing With The Supers...

    This book is not for the faint of heart. It takes every preconceived notion of the super hero genre and flushes it down the toilet then blows it up with a stick of dynamite.

    The Boys are a team put together by a man known as Billy the Butcher. Their job is a simple one. Do the dirty work behind the scenes to keep the superheroes in check. The superheroes in this series are definitely not angels and in some cases just as vile (or worse) as some of the super villains you'd find in other series. Billy and his crew do what ever it takes to keep these heroes in line including blackmail & sometimes outright extortion

    This first volume has a bit of everything including murder, accidental civilian deaths, sex, forced oral sex, superhuman whore houses, drug abuse and pretty much any other vile and disgusting thing you can think of. However, once you get past the shock value and learn the stories of the antagonists involved you'll fall in love with the characters and really find yourself pulling for them.

    The Grade:

    4/5
