The Boys Vol. 2: Get Some (Garth Ennis' The Boys) Kindle & comiXology

First of all, like Preacher, know that this is an ADULT series, NOT for kids. And if you love your Marvel and DC superhero stories, you aren't going to like The Boys very much, or maybe you will. An open mind is a gloriously capable one. Ennis satirizes the superhero genre down to it's barest of bones here and not at all respectfully, it's absolutely delicious. And, as Garth Ennis fans have come to expect, the boundaries of what you can say and do in a graphic novel will be stretched.In the end it's an incredibly imaginative story that is very well drawn, often utilizing the drawing style of the original "supes" that Ennis is Mocking. Enjoy!

I don't always dig Ennis' vision on "The Boys" but I enjoy it well enough. I rated this three stars as the two stories that comprise this volume average out to three. I really enjoyed the first story about SwingWing and Tek Knight and the facade of tolerance given by the Supes. My only quibble with the story was the final page wrap-up which wasn't all that satisfactory. (And the fact that the color of SwingWing's hair changed, making it hard to realize who it was.)The second story with Russia and Little Nina was, for me, a total bust. Little Nina could have been interesting - if she ever actually faced off against The Boys. Would have maybe been a good chance to give the Female something to do. Instead, they wasted an entire plot that really came to nothing. Like previous reviewers have noted, the fill-in art the last two issues was distracting. But it was the lack of a real story or interesting villain that bugged me the most.

It’s off the wall,violent,and a little absurd. But I enjoyed it. It’s worth a try especially if you enjoyed the new Amazon tv series.

Not for the tame of taste or the weak of heart and NOT for the younger kids; this tale gives you an infinitely focused and demonstrably realistic examination of the potential for an alternate future with SuperHumanism as a regular occurring item and no small threat to the daily conduct of larger parts of humanity, especially any poor unfortunate humane that suffers direct contact with the "Supes"When superheros misbehave, as they all pretty much seem bent on doing, then you would be VERY grateful for Butcher, Wee Hughie, Mother's Milk, the Female and Frenchman on your side. This volume does a very good job of some exposition on the "Supes" generally [and one specifically with a very hard problem to solve] as well as finding the whole team in frozen Mother Russia for a little visiting of old friends, a bit of drinking and a lot of save Save SAVE the stupid world.If you have found Transmetropolitan to be entertaining to the eyeball and took any pleasure in the sour sweet tales of The Preacher and the beautiful depth of characterizations found in both then hopefully The Boys will slap you in the right places....My understanding = this tale is promised for about six "volumes" so here's hoping it doesn't fizzle away like Desolation Jones - I'm going to find a Comix House and get MY subscript underway ASAPI wish you Peaxe and excellent reading,Rev. D.

Wow. I discovered these novels that are clearly for adults. Ennis doesn't hold back! It was a fun read. Give it a go!

I love this series and the sick minds that made this happen. I can't wait to see how it all ends.

It arrived really quickly. The artwork is very detailed in The Boys volume, and the story is interesting.

You're given a lot more story in the first volume than you were in the first but as a whole, It's pretty much on par with the first volume. We are given a nice little mystery story behind one of the heroes and the ending is quite fitting.

The opening volume of The Boys had some shocking gratuity and a subtle moral message. Volume two switches these around in that the shocks and profanity have almost disappeared and the morality and complex and wordy story has come to the fore. This seems an abrupt change of pace. We learn little of our established characters in favour of telling two self-contained mysteries. The first is a murder mystery which unsubtly pokes a finger at how homophobic our society is and second is a lament on the passing of Mother Russia and an extended cock joke. The two stories are quite bold statements but feel like a detour, allowing us to catch our breath after the first traumatic instalment.The art is as good as ever with strong characterisation, some good visual storytelling and sight gags. Some nice panels here and there but the art is more serviceable than ground-breaking. There are an awful lot of talking heads so maybe in future there will be more time to shine. Thumbs Up.

If your little childish like me and have a stupid sense of humor then you will absolutely love the boys. Don't show it to a strict parent or a teacher. They would find it disgusting and may think your not quite right in the head.The boys is fun, violent and the characters are flawless and one the most humorous series I have read. I really hope this becomes a TV show.

What a series. Have bought the whole set now. I don't want to give anything away to potential readers but this comic is seriously good. Nice mix of violence (can i say that?), drama and humor.Great reading.

Just as good as expected, probably better honestly, can't wait to read the rest. And so much better than the show

I am a big fan of Garth's run on Hellblazer, Preacher and Hitman but this strikes me as a retread of some of his older ideas.The trademark Ennis dialogue is still sharp, and the characters well defined but the ultraviolence feels a bit cheesy after a couple of decades.I like the artwork by Robinson and Snejbjerg - Robinson's Killer the bulldog is especially vivid.Garth has done and can do better than this.
