The Boys #49 Review

Tagged with: Dynamite Comics  Garth Ennis  The BoysThe Boys #49

The intro to the first confrontation between the Boys and the Seven begins here. Today I will be reviewing The Boys #49. Please leave a comment to let me know what you think.

So let’s talk about the book. Homelanded has a conversation with himself through a mirror while Frenchie and the Female watch. Butcher and MM continue reviewing the files of their first fight with the Seven and we get to see some of what transpired at their first meeting. And that’s the book.

So let’s talk opinions. Another slow set-up issue with too many sub-plots, too much descriptive dialogue and little humor or action. I did enjoy the glimpse into the mind of the Homelander. That man is completely insane. The rest of the book, however, was crap. Nothing happened. There was lots of words being put on the paper which made me slowly fall asleep as I was reading them. After a few pages, the words seemed to meld together into one giant blurb of nonsense. I miss the old issues of the Boys where something was actually happening every issue. I guess without Hughie, the humor is completely gone from the Boys. Butcher is becoming more desperate for a confrontation with the  Homelander and is willing to do anything to get it. There’s also no disgusting images either. No cruel jokes or random sex or violence. All staple Boys topics that are just being ignored. I don’t even remember seeing a single curse in the entire book. This used to be one of my favorite books and it’s been slowly going downhill. I really hope it gets good soon. That’s my opinion folks. Take it or leave it.
