Paul checks out the second volume of Garth Ennis' The Boys.
And quite likes it, too… Billy Butcher and Wee Hughie are the lead investigators in these two tales that form Volume Two.
InGet Some, a young gay man has been murdered and the activities of two superheroes come under scrutiny.
The scarcely disguised references to a certain caped crusader offer no sophistication either.
Never easy bed fellows.
With the help of big business, Butcher hopes to clean things up.
Still, it does read like youve been hit over the head by a hammer and sickle.
They revel in anatomical exaggeration, squeezing muscles into ridiculously tight clothing which adds to the satirical effect.
Even though this is noTeam America, its a book that should sort out the men from the boys…
