This week, the show is so epic that Tony needed two guests to cover it.

First, back from his triumphant appearance when we covered Preacher is Brad Filicky of DC Comics News and the DC comics news podcast network.

Also, a man whose middle name might legally be changed to podcaster, Dave Horrocks.Co-Founder of the Comics in Motion network.

Brad, Dave and Tony do a DEEP DEEP dive into Dynamite comics fever dream, super hero bashing, norm shattering series. The Boys.

The Boys is an American comic book series, written by Garth Ennis and co-created, designed, and illustrated by Darick Robertson. It was originally published by Wildstorm (DC Comics) before moving to Dynamite Entertainment.

The series is set between 2006–2008 in a world where superheroes exist. However, most of the superheroes in the series’ universe are corrupted by their celebrity status and often engage in reckless behavior, compromising the safety of the world. The story follows a small clandestine CIA squad, informally known as “The Boys“, led by Butcher and also consisting of Mother’s Milk, the Frenchman, the Female, and new addition “Wee” Hughie Campbell, who are charged with monitoring the superhero community, often leading to gruesome confrontations and dreadful results; in parallel, a key subplot follows Annie “Starlight” January, a young and naive superhero who joins the Seven, the most prestigious – and corrupted – superhero group in the world and The Boys‘ most powerful enemies.
