| I didn't like The Boys at all. It's sort of a one trick pony that runs out of ideas after the initial story arc. | |

| Yep. Don't get me wrong. It's pretty funny and each character has their moments, but the stories all sort of follow the same premise. Awesome superhero has awful sexual secret (or worse), The Boys are sent into investigate, cue hilarity and murder, new guy who looks like Simon Pegg learns something at the end of the day. Repeat. It kind of ran out of steam after that and it reminded me too much of Ennis' work on The Authority.
But that's just, y'know...mmmmmy opinion. | |

| Through the first arc and the first issue of the next with Tek-Knight (lol), and I can already see what you mean. It is relentless in its depiction of superheroes as utter sex-mad bastards, but as of yet I'm still enjoying it (again, Tek-Knight - LOL). Very mean spirited though, and that Billy the Butcher is as bland a character design as they come, almost feels like I'm reading a Mark Millar comic at times, but it's far more offensive and entertaining than he could manage so I'll retract that. | |

| I wanna pick up the first Phonogram volume 2 issues. The scumbags are releasing with the single back-up stories that won't be reprinted in the trade release. That's just cruel. I've not bought a TPB in over a month otherwise. | |

| Issue 10 of the Boys and still not hating it. I like the whole meta-comic cliche attacking and embracing. | |

| I have gotten kind of tired of the Boys after the second story finished, so now I'm reading the Walking Dead. Up to issue 8 and I must say... fan-fucking-tastic comic. | |

| Yeah...about The Walking Dead too.
Runs. Out. Of. Steam. Real. Quick.
Try 100 Bullets instead. | |

| Seriously, when they get to the prison it just has nowhere to go, so they introduce a townful of psychos out to kill them and yadda yadda yadda. They knew they fucked up when they killed half the cast (not that like someone doesn't die every 2-3 issues) and reset it back to the sheriff and his kid wandering America recently.
Poor fucking show. | |

| Didn't you say that about The Boys?
I haven't been reading much in the way of comics recently, but nothing's really caught my eye. The only thing that did this week was the fact Spawn was at issue 247...WHO'S STILL BUYING SPAWN?! | |

| Okay, so, yeah, I gave up on The Walking Dead too, but I was still into it, I just got distracted and never went back.
I'm reading the Goon now. Do not tell me it runs out of steam 6 issues in. | |
