The Boys vol 7: The Innocents TPB Review
2010, Dynamite/Titan Books
Story: Garth Ennis
Art: Darick Robertson, Russ Braun, John Macrea, Keith Burns
Colours: Tony Avina
Seven volumes into The Boys and we’ve witnessed buggery, paedophilia, infanticide and more full-frontal nudity than you can furiously shake a rolled up Daily Mail at. Volume 7, ‘The Innocents’, is far lighter in tone than previous instalments, and while this trade … read more
Comic Book Cramathon: Garth Ennis’s The Boys pt 3
Previously: Comic Book Cramathon: Garth Ennis’s The Boys pt 2
Garth Ennis dials the gross out meter up to 11 in Volume Five: Herogasm, in which we discover exactly what goes on in those superhero crossovers which have plagued comics for decades. In this case, Earth’s greatest heroes ostensibly depart for a war with the fictitious alien Maith’rai, while … read more
Comic Book Cramathon: Garth Ennis’s The Boys pt 2
Previously: Comic Book Cramathon: Garth Ennis’s The Boys pt 1
So far The Boys has been a mixed bag of superhero conspiracy theory, toilet humour and extreme ultraviolence. With Volume Three: Good for the Soul, Ennis takes a breather, letting The Legend fill Hughie in on the Ennis’s intricate back-story. This couldn’t have come sooner, and lends a genuinely … read more
Comic Book Cramathon: Garth Ennis’s The Boys pt 1

The basic challenge I’m setting for myself is to review a series within a week; be it a series I overlooked, underappreciated or completely misunderstood during its early years, or a run that I’ve been buying for the past few years … read more

Punisher MAX vol. 6: Barracuda TPB Review
Marvel, 2006
Story: Garth Ennis
Art: Goran Parlov
Colours: Giulia Brusco
One consequence of Frank Castle’s hardline approach to vigilantism is that his enemies rarely get the opportunity to stage comebacks; usually because he’s deposited several dozen bullets in their skulls. While Garth Ennis may have introduced the Marvel Universe to the mountain of moronic muscle that was the Russian, … read more

Punisher MAX vol. 2 #1 Review
Marvel, $3.99
Story: Jason Aaron
Art: Steve Dillon, Matt Hollingsworth
Two questions hit me before I even started reading the first issue in this new volume of the Punisher’s Marvel MAX series: 1) do we need another Punisher series so soon? And 2) Can anyone really replace Garth Ennis on the series?
Fortunately, it’s a resounding “yes” to both. Probably. … read more
