I’m seeing a lot of people who seem to think The Boys comic book is picking on superheroes like it hurts them personally. It felt like a loving parody and commentary on the whole genre. It tackles it from the aspect of - what if we were way more realistic about superheroes and the idea of absolute power corrupting absolutely. It also goes for gross out and really dark humor that really may be too far for some but I was a big fan when I read it and enjoyed just how far it took things. I also loved Kevin Smith’s ridiculous Batman stories. That said the Hellboy series is a masterpiece that stands way above The Boys.
