Deapite being a typical Ennis edgefest, what do you think of The Boys, /co/?
I just finished it and liked it a great deal. It had some great moments and wrapped up fairly nicely. It's no Punisher MAX or Hitman, but I can't help but love the kinds of charming monsters Ennis writres.
I think it's very good.
It's a bit overextended I and sometimes these extensions are filled with typical Ennis shittery which doesn't bring anything new or relevant to the table.
But it's a good spin on a typical Ennis story, I feel he needed to write a book like this and it worked for me. Also Russ Braun was fucking awesome on the book.
I'm a million miles away, watching it happen.

It does tend to really get drawn out in certain parts, I agree on that. I feel like Hitman does most of what it did better, but it's still a good time.
I mostly enjoyed it, but I thought the epilogue was too cliche, and Hughie's sudden confidence was off putting.
SCOTLAND MENTIONED
still haven't finished it but I like it so far
I like it. It was so far in the other direction to main stream cape shit. I wish there was a little more resolution with Hughie as it feels he ends up where he started essentially. Also I whis there was more resolution with Starlight but I'm a sucker for couples.
Are there any other comics "like" The Boys? Doesn't need to be as violent or graphic. Maybe like Invincible.

Read Hitman, also by Ennis. Can't recommend it enough, one of the gems of 90s DC.
On Wikipedia or something, it said that the final issue implied thatthe Frenchman and the Female were still alive.Is this true?

Not as bad as Crossed, but one of Ennis's weaker works. He's basically emulating Mark Millar here, and he shouldn't, because Millar is a much lower lifeform than him and it's not fit for a hominid to pretend to be an invertebrate.

Why is baguette jousting not the French national sport?
