My Boom-Boom's mostly gay
(I could have sworn there was a thread for this, but I can't find it for the life of me)
Anyway, after picking up the first issue of Boys, I didn't intend to keep reading. It felt like it took the worst parts of Ennis' writing and cut out the human factor that makes his stuff really good. But for some reason I kept reading, and I'm glad I did. Hughie's the ****, and he seems to be softening out the harder edges of even the most psychotic of the Boys. If no one's picked up issue 4, you need to, because it's REALLY becoming apparent that what he did to religion with Preacher, he's doing to the superhero comic with this.
His analog of DC is chauvinistic, power-obsessed megalomaniacs concerned only with licensing and whoring out their image. And Marvel's a bunch of drug-stealing, kiddy-entertaining dumbasses who sodomize each other and cut themselves. It's crude, sure, but it's spot-on, and friggin' brilliant. I love it.
Is anyone else reading this?
