A dark, brutal take on superheroes, exposing their flaws and moral corruption in a gritty, realistic world.
About
Details
The 'heroes' of this brilliantly realised universe are flawed, corruptible, weak, self-centred and entirely human. Some of them are worse: morally depraved and super-human. Writer Garth Ennis has played with debunking the myth of the superhero in previous graphic and comic series: in The Boys he rips it apart and leaves it spluttering in the gutter.
