[Anubis]

I'm getting too much s**t as it is.

 

[Hush]

Im so confused what is this thread about???

 

[deathshead2]

A new comic called the boys.

 

[Darthphere]

Im so confused what is this thread about???

Dont worry, at first glance I thought it was a crazed rant by an ADD stricken fanboy.

 

[Elijya]

It's about Garth Ennis and Derrick Robertson kicking you in the face with big steel toed boots, and you thanking them for it

 

[Elijya]

perhaps some capitalization will help....

 

[Darthphere]

Definitely.

 

[Hush]

That sounds fun but is there a possibility of getting a link about the book?

Elijya_ You are so mean to me!!!!.......my feelings are hurt now go feel bad and come back and apologize, please?

 

[Mister J]

Just doing some quick research on this title (which I had never heard of to this point) and Ennis says this will "out-Preacher Preacher". I loved Preacher. I might have to look into this.

I thought it was some feminist and or gay answer to Moore's Lost Girls.

 

[BrianWilly]

I'm not. Oooh, Garth Ennis hates superheroes, how...novel.

 

[Hush]

Should I read Preacher before I read this??? I heard it was phenominal but I also have no idea what it is about.

It's about The Preacher.

 

[Hush]

Well then I guess The Preacher would be considered nessecity(sp), Ill have to pick up the trades or hunt back issues.

 

[Elisha Cuthbert]

I've heard nothing about this but The Preacher kicks all kinds of ass so I'm definitely getting it.

 

[Elijya]

it is phenomenal, and you definitely must read it, but there's no priority that it needs to come before or after

however, as The Boys doesn't come out for a little while, and the Preacher Trades are readily available now, you should start on Preacher

 

[Hush]

I think ill buy the 1st trade tom. after school. Yes im back in school and it sucks big horrendous penis.

I just searched it on amazon, there are 9 volumes!!! That is a **** load and I am so excited after reading a summary on Wikipedia of the plot. I cant wait to read it tom.

 

[Elijya]

oh, it's worth it, you'll see

....and you read the ****ing wikipedia summary!!?!?!?!? you just spoiled the whole friggin thing for yourself!!

 

[Elijya]

Tell me you just read the "Story synopsis" and didn't go past the spoilers warning, and didn't read the trade-by-trade breakdown that spoils EVERYTHING, please

 

[The Question]

It's about Garth Ennis and Derrick Robertson kicking you in the face with big steel toed boots, and you thanking them for it

Sounds utterly magical.



Is it weird that I kind of think of Garth Ennis as the Sid Vicious of comic books?

 

[Elijya]

no, that anaolgy works pretty well
