The BOys, a new comic from garth ennis. Heres an interview:http://www.newsarama.com/WWLA06/DC/EnnisBOys.htm
an excerpt:
"So where did the germ of the idea of The Boys come from?
“I guess you could say it comes from 17 years working in an industry dominated by one genre,” Ennis said. “I’ve never been a big fan of superheroes, but I can’t pretend I’m not aware of them. You look at that stuff and you go, “No, no, that’s not what would happen, this is what would really happen…” and you carry on from there. On top of that, I wanted to get my teeth into a good, long story again, something that would last for some time, rather than just another miniseries. Preacher and Hitman obviously come to mind. If I get it right, this is the book that will out-Preacher Preacher.”
I hink this interview explains Ennis's designs with what he has done with Himan and even the punisher series. I mean, Dang... Punisher only got better With Ennis at the controls.
