About book The Boys, Volume 3: Good For The Soul (2008)
Third volume into this great series, and nothing yet makes me want to stop reading. This one has a lot more about the characters, history, and background info that led us to where things sit here: a sort of Cold War stalemate between the Seven (Think JLA) and the Boys. Hughie gets more ink than anyone else, and I think that's a great idea because he's easily the one that most can relate with.We get a glimpse into the history of Vought-American, the uber-corporation that supports (and more) the Seven, and Supes in general, as well as a look into the alternate 9-11 tragedy in this world.There's definitely some funny bits here too, especially as things pick up with Hughie and Annie, and neither one knows the other all that well...definitely setting up for some interesting stories to follow.I also loved how Butcher stayed so quiet and stoic during his meeting with his counterpart. Makes me really excited for the eventual throw-down that is no doubt going to be bloody.We even get the return of a character thought dead, and I can't say it's joyful...Well done, looking forward to the next installment! Oh, man, this is fuckin' awesome series, The Boys are great !!! ... and Ennis is a motherfuckin' genius !!!... So, what we have here are two stories, and the history of Vougth America's revealed, how the Seven became the Seven, and a 'plane crashing over some bridge ( remembering the 9/11)I'm giving it 3 stars because it have a much more slow rhythm that the past vol. ... and I like my comics fast, but i's as good a story as only Ennis can bring.... of Course I'll continue reading this series !!!
