Story I picked up this entire series on a humble bundle and I wanted to read it before watching the TV show that several people have recommended to me. It still took me awhile to pick it up.
I've probably made more progress due to my desire to finish off some of my 2019 Good read challenges than reading the books. It's way over the top with sex and violence.
I'm not particularly fond of any of the characters, both the superheroes and the Boys themselves. I'm not sure who I should be rooting for at this point.
That said the general premise is an interesting one. And I own all 12 volumes, so onward I go.
Artwork
The artwork has been good, albeit pretty blatant. Far more nudity than most comics I read, but given what is happening at times, not nearly as explicit as it could be, which is saying something.
