Boys Will Be Boys
The Dynamite The Boys Season 5 Sale runs through Thursday, 4/30.
Is The Boys old enough to be a classic? The original series spins in a slightly different direction than the TV version, but we’ve completely enjoyed both. It’s a very dark, comical (and blue) tale of a ragtag group chasing vengeance against a corrupt corporation that’s made an industry out of superheroes. Garth Ennis is your writer here with Darick Robertson as your primary artist with Russ Braun and John McCrea tagging in.
- The Omnibus editions are your best value for the main series
- The Boys: Dear Becky by Ennis/Braun is the “twelve years later” follow up as Hughie discovers something he was previously unaware of
- The Boys Script Book Volume One contains select scripts by Ennis and the art that eventually went with them.
How About a Nice 9mm?
The Caliber Comics Library 50% off Spring Sale runs through Thursday, 4/30. There are a few titles here that were notable in the ’80s indie boom. There are also another 11 books in a second link.
- Deadworld by Stuart Kerr, Vince Locke, Gary Reed and Dan Day (among others)
- The Realm by Ralph Griffith / Stuart Kerr / Guy Davis
- Jazz Age Chronicles – Ted Slampyak
And plenty of Don Lomax war comics.
