The Boys omnibus. Volume four

by Garth Ennis, 2018

This volume keeps the series' relentless, lurid pace, swinging between grotesque action set pieces and quieter, more character driven detours that dig into the crew's pasts. The satire stays vicious and the humor stays filthy, but there's a creeping sense of exhaustion and dread building under the jokes as the larger conflict tightens its grip.
