Book Reviews of The Boys Volume 1: The Name of the Game (Boys)
Book Review: Tearing up the rule book
Summary: 5 Stars
Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson have torn up the rule book with The Boys. A handpicked team of misfits lead by hard man Billy Butcher save the world from superheroes. These are not the caped crusader or Superman sitting in his fortress of solitude but spoilt, delinquent, degenerate and immoral people with super powers and a nice line in costumes who cause more trouble than they save.
Volume one covers issues 1 - 6 which introduces the members of the team: Billy Butcher, Wee Hughie - the newbie who saw his girlfriend get runover by supersonic superhero called A-Train, Mothers Milk - the conscience of the group and Butchers right hand man, The Frenchman - who provides muscle and is madder than a bag of cats and The Female - probably the most deranged and psychopathic member of the group.
Ennis has provided an interesting twist on the super hero story, which is as creative in its own anarchic way as Gibbons and Moore's The Watchmen
