Ready for "The Boys" ?

Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson, two names every comic fan should know.
The writer of the great "Preacher" series and the artist of Warren Ellis' "Transmetropolitan" teamed up and created a new comic book series called "The Boys".



Alan Moore once asked the question: "Who watches the Watchmen?". And now Garth Ennis answers with "The Boys".

A secret CIA-sponsored group of not-so-normal people take care of the superhuman-threat. Butcher, Wee-Hugie, The Female, Mother's Milk and The Frenchman are "The Boys". They live in a world, were 200,000 super-powered humans are unleashed. The job is simple: Give the superheroes a spank or, if necessary, end their career - forever!

Garth Ennis gives us what we expect: violence, sex and lots of irish humor. The artwork of Darick Robertson is as brillante as his work on "Transmetropolitan".

Tradepaperback Number One "The Name Of The Game" is out now. Go and get it!
