Extra Issues – Superhero Subversions, ep 4: The Boys

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
