The Boys Omnibus Vol. 1
Product ID: 146574887
Read the series the desertcart Original show is based on! All-new printing collecting the first 14 issues of the critically acclaimed series, now heading to live-action on desertcart Prime! This is going to hurt! In a world where costumed heroes soar through the sky and masked vigilantes prowl the night, someone's got to make sure the "supes" don't get out of line. And someone will! Billy Butcher, Wee Hughie, Mother's Milk, The Frenchman, and The Female are The Boys: A CIA-backed team of very dangerous people, each one dedicated to the struggle against the most dangerous force on Earth - superpower! Some superheroes have to be watched. Some have to be controlled. And some of them - sometimes - need to be taken out of the picture. That's when you call in The Boys! After the opening story arc introducing Hughie to the team (issues 1-6), Dark avenger Tek-Knight and his ex-partner Swingwing are in trouble (issues 7-14). Big trouble. One has lost control of his terrifyingly overactive sex-drive, and the other might just be a murderer. It's up to Hughie and Butcher to work out which is which, in Get Some. Then, in Glorious Five-Year Plan, The Boys travel to Russia - where their corporate opponents are working with the mob, in a super-conspiracy that threatens to spiral lethally out of control. Good thing our heroes have Love Sausage on their side. Featuring some ever-so-slight tweaks the creators have meticulously restored, The Boys Omniobus Volume 1 also features bonus art materials, the script to issue #1 by Garth Ennis, a complete cover gallery, and more! Review: Sick comic - Way better than the show, had me cracking up laughing. Really excited to read more Review: Garth Ennis never disappoints - I have been a fan of his insanity since the Preacher. I had no idea that the show everyone was talking about was based on a comic from a writer I loved from my comic collecting days. I am so glad I took the time to reconnect with my old hobby and just sit back and enjoy myself reading. I still haven’t watched the Boys on Prime and after reading this first volume I don’t think I will. I will read the story as Mr Ennis intended.

Garth Ennis never disappoints
I have been a fan of his insanity since the Preacher. I had no idea that the show everyone was talking about was based on a comic from a writer I loved from my comic collecting days. I am so glad I took the time to reconnect with my old hobby and just sit back and enjoy myself reading. I still haven’t watched the Boys on Prime and after reading this first volume I don’t think I will. I will read the story as Mr Ennis intended.

Pick up the First Three volumes
If want a fresh and different take on the super hero Genre please buy the first 3 Volumes and get thru the first volume, completely different than the show so don’t worry about spoiling the show for yourself. It’s full of twists and turns that will leave your mouth open, full of dark comedy and twisted sexual situations that will leave you running to the shower, it’s uncomfortable at times to read but I think that’s the feeling Garth Ennis wanted to project on readers. Best Anti Superhero Story out there, has a lot of themes about homophobia and Sexual Exploitation... I just wish it wasn’t hammered over my head with it over and over again.

Awesome! Beware of packaging!
Awesome! ordered them all! story is much better in the books! The only reason I gave 4 stars, is one of the books showed up with the cover a little beat up from traveling to loosely in the box. Other than that, they're sweet AF!

It’s not like the show, but it’s just as good!!
I picked up this comic because I’ve become a big fan for the show itself, BUT to anyone reading this wanting to buy the books because they think it’ll give a peek to what may happen in the show. THINK AGAIN. The comic is quite different from the show, and personally I enjoy both in their respective media forms. And if you see the cover it says “The series that ‘inspired’ the hit show”. Keyword being inspired, lots of the characters have different personalities compared to the show. So don’t expect a complete copy and paste of the story. Of course it is an acquired taste to enjoy these types of stories, but if you did enjoy the show, you might enjoy this comic too. I sure did, some very hilarious/absurd moments. Another fun thing about reading these books and having seen the show, is connecting all the references or Easter eggs they placed in the show. Consider me very pleased 😉 the show writers did a brilliant job.

Better than the show
The TV show is excellent, but this comic is incredible. When the boys have super powers and can go toe to toe with the supes, its so much better. I would love to see Karl urban as a full powered billy butcher, he's killin it on the show already.

Wow. this comicbook is WAAAAY more violent than the TV show.
Ennis and Robertson made one helluva violent comincbook. There is no way they can show these graphics in a public forum. The TV show is watered down 10X compared to this comic book. You have been warned. Good read though. I recommend it to anyone that has the stomach of the gore and sex. Darick-with-one-R does a great job on the artistic visuals. He honed those skills on the excellent Transmetropolitan comic book, which I highly recommend any lover-of-science-fiction to read.

A origem da série da Amazon Prime.
A saga que a própria DC achou negra de mais. Garth Ennis no seu esplendor. Começa aqui a saga que mais tarde a Amazon Prime adaptou a série.
