The Boys, Vol. 1 by Garth Ennis
A coarse, satirical noir about a clandestine team of vigilantes who monitor and brutalize corrupt, celebrity superheroes; after a civilian is maimed by a reckless flying super, a wide-eyed recruit joins a bitter, charismatic leader and his ragtag crew—Mother's Milk, Frenchie and a lethal, silent operative—as they investigate cover-ups, substance abuse and corporate ties that shield supes from accountability. The story mixes dark humor, graphic violence and moral ambiguity as the squad pushes back against a glossy, PR-managed superhero industry and exposes how power corrupts.
