finally some actual plot with some action. shame everything is nicely wrapped up by the end of it. more juvenile toilet humour but at least it’s just frat bros being frat bros.

Not my favourite of the series. A blood soaked read as ever, but felt the plot was a bit weak and didn’t pack the same punch as other volumes. As ever, a crazy, wild ride though.

So . . . much . . violence . . and depth, and care, and politics, and and and -

Once again, Ennis has left me speechless. Love it. Just want more now.

The fourth volume of Garth Ennis' The Boys is not a fun read. It is heavy on backstory, irreverent to the point of ridiculousness and quite frankly a big jumbled mess. This is of course the middle part of a multi volume arc but it is also the point where I will take a break to read something better.

The premise remains compelling, while Ennis continues to air out the worst bits of his brain while he's at it.

This one takes on the X-Men concept. It might be a little lost on the current readers of comics who don't remember the 90's when there were about...8,000 X-Teams?

Let's see how many I can remember:
X-Men
X-Force
X-Factor
eXcalibur (pretty sure they tried some bullshit like that)
Generation X
X-Man
X-Girlfriends
X-Marks The Spot
xXx: The Return of Xander Cage (little tip: search isn't case-sensitive enough to just type in xXx and get a Vin Diesel movie)
XXL
Xzibit
Solve for X
Revolution X
Pedestrian Xing
Examine Your Zipper
X-Holes
Ess-Eee-X
Roof Axess

...okay, that's enough of that.

This one dragged on for good while but the end was great. There is a lot going on and I'm sure a lot more to come.
