The first-ever Boys spin-off mini-series features the pairing of Ennis with Hitman artist John McCrea and covers by Boys artist and co-creator Darick Robertson!

Jun 21, 2009Though an improvement over the first issue, the second issue of "The Boys: Herogasm" is still so mired in sex and drug jokes that aren't funny or were at one point until beaten into the ground that it still seems a lesser addition, a watered-down version of the monthly book.

Major Spoilers - Matthew Peterson
Jun 24, 2009First of all, let me say that Major Spoilers does NOT condone the use of illegal and/or disgusting substances, nor the utilization of orgies to get at your political enemies, though we do not, in theory, have a problem with multiple partners within the boundaries of a healthy consenting adult relationship. (Or, maybe that's just Matthew. Bygones...) However, this issue seems to have gone a lot further into the realm of shock and awe than the previous, even as the plot makes it's first step forward. If you are an adult, and you don't have a problem watching implied sex and drug use, this issue has several things going for it. John McCrea's art is interesting, and the fact that it's not photo-realistic does help to offset some of the creep-factor of half-naked superheroes. Garth Ennis takes some chances with his script, and while it doesn't ever really capsize, there seems to be a palpable sense of "How do we top last time?" The balancecomes outa little bit off-kilter, Read Full Review

Jun 27, 2009I still dont understand all the subplots and who is trying to outfox who. Although I joined this new series with #1, I still dont know what its purpose is about and why I should care about this comic book. Thats because the writer assumes that you have read the series from which this one spins off from, The Boys. Well, I havent and in comic book writing, not assuming that your reader picks up your book for the first time is a capital sin. I should not have to go through years and volumes worth of material to figure out what is happening in the pages of this comic book. Read Full Review
