FREE THE BOYS: GET SOME V. 2 PDF Garth Ennis,Darick Robertson | 160 pages | 23 May 2008 | Titan Books Ltd | 9781845769246 | English | London, United Kingdom The Boys: Get Some #1 - Vol. 2 (Issue) The story here deals not only with a superhero sidekick who went on his own and supports the gay community. But it also deals with his mentor, and his big problem now. Living or inanimate, he just gets The Boys: Get Some v. 2 urges and goes to town. He is deeply ashamed of this, and is trying to stop, but his life is falling apart. He even sends his current sidekick away to try to protect him. He wonders if his previous sidekick, the aforementioned supporter of the gay community, Swingwing by name, turned him gay. Well Billy and Hughie investigate and through many steps find out that it was actually Swingwing who killed the guy when he came onto him. I guess Swingwing was putting on an act for the PR. Billy and Hughie let him go after he confesses to them. Later Swingwing dies while his rocket pack malfunctions, but Hughie knows the truth but does nothing because justice was served. The next mission take the team to Russia to investigate something going on with super villains showing up and then just exploding. The team goes and meets up with an old Russian superhero named Love Sausage who now runs a bar. Through some investigation and some run ins with the Russian mob, they find out that the US was backing a mobstress named Nina who is running a program collecting all the supervillains to give this extra boost of power. Lots of plot twists in there. Vas, Love Sausage, bonds with Hughie about missing the old Communist days when they all worked together for the glory of the Motherland. The days before the corrupt cockroaches took over. Well eventually the team wins. The bad guys die, some in very funny ways. And we find out why he is called Love Sausage. It was another good graphic novel. But it is definitely not for the kids in any way, shape or form. The Boys: Get Some v. 2 very adult themes here, The Boys: Get Some v. 2 some really graphic violence. But I am enjoying seeing how the US government is working with some super heroes to take out The Boys. It is all going to lead up to something big down the road. I am also enjoying the development of the relationship between Billy and Hughie. I do feel sad that Hughie is losing his innocence. But at times he realizes that he does have to take care of things in a rather violent manner. I am looking forward to the next book in the series.

The Boys stay with a retired supe called Vasilii who makes a comeback at the end in his spandex, his name, Love Sausage and he certainly has the goods, fucking hilarious especially when he enters the strip joint. Aug 17, David Schaafsma rated it liked it Shelves: gn-superhero-scifi-fantasy. I had read the first volume of The Boys some time ago, surprised myself in liking it, as it is purposely vulgar and violent: Sex, violence, language. Some fun things are in it, though: Ennis makes continued vicious fun of superheroes and their capes and tights and culture. Wee Hughie and Butcher are the tag team in Get The Boys: Get Some v. 2. The first story features Tek-Knight and his ex-partner Swingwing. Tek-Knight is like some mash-up of Batman and Ironman, gorgeous vain rich man, ugh. Degenerate, entitled, greedy scum. This part is actually often funny to me, but also will make some people uncomfortable. Not kid comics. The focus in this first story is actually not on sexuality per se but on gay issues, and initially it's surprising how anti-homophobic it is, but is finally not surprising if you know Ennis beyond the surface crudity. I don't exactly equate the message with Bitch Planet's views, but there is a kind of openness and cleverness in both. View all 6 comments. Jan 27, Elizabeth Sagan rated it it was amazing. Shelves: comicscomic-reviewsreviewed. The zenith is reached and at best, things plateau for the most part at best and at worst things crater. All The Boys: Get Some v. 2 stranger is that beyond a few instances of ultra-violence, both yarns within are quite dialogue heavy. In contradistinction to the highly imaginative brutality of Preacher, The Boys seems to favor words over weapons. Disappointingly disdaining one for the either — it fails on both levels. The first story is a real doozy. A convoluted soap-opera involving rape, closeted homosexuality, and incidental murder is as confusing as it is unexciting to The Boys: Get Some v. 2. Sure, there are a couple guffaws here and there but, for the most part it was pretty dumb. The second story is entrenched at the same level of swampy mediocrity and odometrical inertia. Moving from the realm of the gay bar to that of the Russian bar, there seems little in the way of thematic connection and its ensuing progression save our trenchcoated band of protagonists showing up once again. Again, when everything coalesces together and finishes at the end, it feels like another unsatisfying conclusion with nothing to show for it. View 2 comments. Aug 24, L. McCoy rated it it was ok Shelves: creator-owneddanger-zonedynamitecomics-and-graphic- novelsreviewedactioncrimecomedydigital. The Boys have some new missions. One is dealing with a person who was murdered and it seems some superhero activity was connected and the other is about them dealing with some Russian crime stuff, should be awesome, right? Well… Pros: The Russian crime story was pretty good. The art is pretty good. This book stays suspenseful, The Boys: Get Some v. 2 is not predictable. The Boys: Get Some (Vol 2) review | Den of Geek The Boys returns for a second season on September 4 — only on Amazon Prime. An irreverent take on the superhero genre, it explores what happens when superheroes abuse their powers instead of using them for good. These mighty beings — who are popular as celebrities, as influential as politicians, and as revered as gods — find themselves hunted by a non-powered group of vigilantes. The Boys are vigilantes. The Boys: Get Some v. 2 CIA black-ops team, their job is to police, monitor and potentially stop the Sevena group of vainglorious superheroes. They were founded by Billy Butchertheir current leader. This band of brothers is out to expose the corruption they believe the Seven represent. Although they may not have superpowers, they do have a lot of "blue-collar grit and [a] willingness to fight dirty. You can probably expect, then, that this version of the story will retain a lot of Garth Ennis ' voice from the original comic book — with the Boys themselves right at the front of all the raunchy fun! The Seven are a group of superheroes owned and managed by Vought International. They consist of seven superheroes who use their power principally for fame and glory. They stand in opposition to the Boys.
