Let's hear it for The Boys

The Boys #1; written by Garth Ennis, art and covers by Darick Robertson
Over in the Marvel Universe, they have the government running their Civil War trying to kick and keep the super heroes in line. In the realm of Wildstorm, they have The Boys.

Garth Ennis (Preacher) and Darick Robertson (Transmetropolitan), co-creators of two of the most thought-provoking comics of the last decade, introduce their first original collaboration for a new monthly series: THE BOYS - a dark, twisted look at super powers, super-people, and the men and women who make sure the world's "heroes" never go too far.

With a quarter-million super-powered beings in the world, someone's got to watch what's going on beneath all those masks and capes. In a U.S.A. uncomfortably like our own, that task falls to The Boys, a government-funded group of operatives dedicated to keeping the "supes" in line.

Team leader Billy Butcher, described by a confidential C.I.A. report as "the most lethal individual ever encountered by this agency," is on the hunt for new recruits - but it takes something special to join this outfit. You have to be smart. You have to be strong. And you have to hate supes with every ounce of black passion in your heart.


Finding a new home with the Dark Horse crew, Arvid Nelson and Juan Ferreyra reinstall the mystery, magic and tales of murder in Rex Mundi. Taking place in a Paris where magic is real and the Catholic Church never lost its swing.

Running in a pack with Devil's Due Publishing, Nightwolf: The Price featuring a superhero werewolf in Quad City. But where are the DJs? Pack it up now, choo choo, ride on this with Stephen L. Antczak and Nick Marinkovich.

Markosia continue the plugging away of big roaches and all in Starship Troopers: Dead Man's Hand. Tony Lee, Neil Edwards and John Feeney running with the ranks of Tamari's Tigers.

Meta and action again as Deadman lives once more with Bruce Jones and John Watkiss rubbing the defib paddles to jump start it out of the pages of Vertigo Comics.

Schoolgirl with a mean fist, Sakura, gets her own solo in Street Fighter Legends from UDON Comics. Looking down the path of Ryu, Sakura goes travelling for brawls against such fighters a E. Honda, Zangief, Rainbow Mika, Karin and Dan Hibiki. Ken Siu-Chong and Omar Dogan are the roadies in this adventure.

In Claws, Jimmy Palmiotti, Justin Gray and Joseph Michael Linsner bring about a Marvel tale that sees Black Cat and Wolverine stranded on an island where they are the prey of some twisted game.

Andrew Cosby, Johanna Stokes and Rafael Albuquerque kick back with the Savage Brothers from Boom! Studios. Where they don't run away, but they run into danger.

IDW Publishing, Jay Faerber and Bob Gill turn the spotlight onto the miracle child with Angel Spotlight Connor One Shot. Ahh, memories, so many, which one is the right one?
