The Boys Omnibus Vol. 1 TPB (BOYS OMNIBUS TP 2018)

Boys is a great example of how comic book aimed at adults used to be. It's gritty, hard hitting and contains a mixture of parody, satire and straight talking in just the right ratio. The characters are over the top yet also relatable, and there is absolutely no regard for political correctness and over sensitvity. Character can be crass or violent and yet make compelling arguments against overreach and violence. And because this is an older comic it do not push its politics down your throat like modern Marvel or DC. If anything, Boys show how far the comic book industry has fallen, and what can be done when comics are written by artists rather than activists. There are strong female characters, strong minority characters and an LGBT sub plot, but none of it feels forced or artifical. These characters have a part to play in the story and weren't added in as tokens to pander to publishers. They comment on racism, sexism, homophobia, and corporate greed while placing the story above all else. A good read, though possibly too much sex and violence for some people's taste.

Great book and customer service helped to resolve the issue

The Boys Omnibus Vol. 1—right, let’s get one thing straight. This isn’t your shiny, feel-good superhero nonsense. This is brutal, messy, and exactly how it should be. You’ve got Garth Ennis behind it—so you already know you’re in for something sharp, cynical, and not remotely polite. And he delivers. Big time. The premise? Superheroes—but not the clean-cut, “save the day” types. Nah. These ones are corrupt, arrogant, completely out of control. And that’s where things get interesting. Very interesting. The characters—especially Billy Butcher—are absolute weapons. Ruthless, calculating, funny in a very dark way. The kind of bloke who walks into a room and you immediately know something bad’s about to happen. And you’re here for it. The artwork matches the tone perfectly. Gritty, grounded, no glossy nonsense. It doesn’t try to make things pretty—it shows things as they are. And sometimes that’s ugly. Very ugly. Now let’s be clear—this is not for everyone. It’s violent, it’s crude, it pushes boundaries constantly. But that’s the point. It tears down the whole superhero myth and shows you what happens when power goes unchecked. And honestly? It’s addictive. You start reading, thinking you’ll just have a look—next thing you know, you’re deep into it, wondering how far it’s going to go. And it keeps going. Overall: savage, uncompromising, and brutally entertaining. It doesn’t ask for your approval—it grabs you and drags you through the mess. And somehow, you enjoy every second of it.

So here's my review its a good and entertaining book but some bits dislike that i cant remember wss in the series a hero who has a compulsion to have his way with anything there an then which does to a cat which i thought why put something like that in their was something else i disliked but forgot its a good enjoyable book just couple bits lets it down
