The Boys
Anyone else reading this? It's by Garth Ennis, the guy who wrote Preacher, so if you read that you can probably tell what it's like. Hilariously deconstructs comic book superheroes with plenty of sex and violence thrown in.
Great stuff, the first book I read that week whenever it comes out. Just wondering if anyone else was into it.

His Punisher books are far superior.

I wouldn't doubt that, I just never got around to picking any of that stuff up yet. Someday, probably.
I admit that I admire the depths this book is willing to go for shock value, but it's also genuinely clever.

There are more clever things around, some of which are also by Ennis. But the Boys still is fun. It has its ups and downs and good art and bad art, but it's fun.
Ennis' Punisher does reign supreme, though. Garth really did well with Frank.

Yeah, I must admit that I love almost everything Ennis has had a hand in creating. The Boys is a pretty good series. But the ulimate Ennis is Preacher and of course his take on the Punisher. Also, don't forget Hitman from DC a while ago. That stuff was pretty cool.

Is there any chance they'll continue the comics now?
