I became a fan of The Boys, while reading Preacher, Garth Ennis also, and fell in love. I have every issue from # 7 and I've read them all, but I always like to re-read the issues. Then I found this and immediately put it on my wish list for Christmas.
He arrived a little late for Christmas, but it was worth the wait.
First I just want to say that this is a beautiful collection. The art is beautiful inside, printed on nice glossy paper, and if I'm not mistaken is still a little bigger. You really get a feel for the amount of detail that Darick Robertson puts in their pencils.
The writing is spectacular, is Ennis brand you if you're not a fan of harsh language, graphic violence, sexual innuendo, graphic violence, can not allow the super heroes who made fun of, and did I mention the graphic violence that should not be reading this book. However, if you're a fan of Ennis which will be very pleased to find his unique style of sophisticated wit mixed with crude humor toilet is full of pages of this book.
The extras in the book are also quite decent, contains the introduction too the original mark by Simon Pegg, one of the characters is based on, along with Robertson's book that was included in the original brand, along with some new additions. It also includes the original script of one of the topics included in the series and a 4-page short story with the characters in the series. Overall the extras in the book are pretty decent, add a little, but not a whole lot to the book in general.
Still, this is a must for any fan of any work whether Ennis Preacher, his work on The Punisher, or any of his various works of others. This is also a great price for this set, which normally sells for $ 75 (at this time is less than $ 50).
