Just as grimey as the show but it felt a bit outdated. I just don't think comics are for me. They always seem to be very hit or miss.

A funny and dark graphic novel that follows the members of The Boys: Butcher, the Female, the Frenchman, Hughie, and Mother's Milk. This graphic novel takes place in a world in which superheroes are everywhere. The corporation that controls the superheroes are trying to get authorization for the superheroes to work in the military. However, the superheroes are not trained and often kill civilians. For fans of The Boys TV series on Amazon Prime. A gritty series with graphic sex and violence that pokes fun at traditional comic book heroes.

Me gusto, pero creo que porque ya había visto la serie, y sabia como era. Se sale del común de los cómics de superhéroes, la verdad es que no es para todas las sensibilidades, ya que tiene un alto contenido de violencia y sexual. Es un experimento interesante leerlo, si, pero es un cómic bastante brutal, mucho mas que la serie. Un dato importante es que las historias en el cómic, tienen puntos en común con la serie, pero no van por los mismos lugares, por lo que no, no es como leer en cómic la serie.
