Zack, Charlotte, and special guest Kelly Kanayama continue our first miniseries on Superhero Subversions with a discussion of Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson’s The Boys (2006).

Topics discussed:

– What is Garth Ennis targeting with his anger in this comic?

– How do you make edgy comedy land?

– Is the Amazon series adaptation an improvement, or does it miss the point?

Upcoming episodes in our Superhero Subversion miniseries:
– Miracleman, 1982

– Sleeper, 2003
