    Superheroes are often referred to as “gods among men” and rightfully so. They’re faster than a speeding bullet, strong enough to bend steel with their bare hands and they could rule the world if they ever get tired of saving us day in and day out....so what stops them from doing that? The BOYS do! I love this spin on an admittedly worn out genre of superheroes and I really admire how it’s reminiscent of The Authority, another favorite of mine. It’s absolutely raunchy, raw and very very realistic...almost TOO real in the way it covers how men in power abuse their position when they think they’re untouchable. If you like gritty reads with lots of violence and macabre humor, you’re gonna love this comic.
