The Boys #53WWII action in all of it’s merciless glory. Today I will be reviewing The Boys #53. Please leave a comment to let me know what you think.
So let’s talk about the book. Greg Mallory continues his tale to Hughie. During WWII, the first supes are introduced to Mallory and his unit. They have powers but absolutely no training. This turns out to be a very bad thing as the Germans launch a surprise attack on Mallory’s position and decimate his entire regiment including all of the supes. Mallory is the only survivor. And that’s the book.
So let’s talk opinions. Now this is a LOT more like it. A complete opposite of the drivel we have been fed over the last few issues. This issue was non-stop action. Drawn beautifully by the artist, the battle scenes were spectacular. Bloody, gory and relentless. You can feel the sense of doom that Mallory was experiencing. I like Ennis’ version of the Avengers as well. (Pure rip-off) Too bad they got shredded like leaves by German gunfire, and tanks. The visuals on those were gorgeous as well. The splash pages were a sight to behold too. Facial expressions and gunfire were drawn perfectly. Hell, I’m just happy there was violence. I’ve missed it quite a bit from a title that used to incorporate it into every issue but stopped recently to get philosophical. No philosophy here. Just war and a disgust for Vought that was born in Mallory on that day. I guess that’s why he eventually joined the Boys. This was a well thought out origin issue that showed tremendous character growth for Mallory. I fully understand him now. Let’s hope this violent, action packed trend continues. That’s my opinion folks. Take it or leave it.
