Description | Content |
Article description: (description ) This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | The Boys is a series by Garth Ennis, with art by Darick Robertson and others, about a CIA-backed team of metahumans who kill other supers when they get out of line. Gritty, edgy and violent, the series frequently veers into Author Tract territory regarding its gleeful depiction of all costumed supers as perverts and child molesters, dropping some anvils on a lot of ugly tropes that have been plaguing superhero comics. Much like Watchmen by Alan Moore, this series is a Deconstructor Fleet. However, instead of attacking the mythos of the superhero, it goes after the sleazy corporate underbelly that grew up around it. |
