Not as good as the tv show but still a great comic series.
"The Boys: Dear Becky" by Garth Ennis and Russ Braun offers an impressive return to the dark and unforgiving universe of "The Boys." This continuation picks up the narrative thread from the original series, bringing both familiar characters and new challenges to the forefront. The story begins twelve years after the events of the main series. Hughie and Annie are living a quiet life in Scotland until an unexpected letter containing Becky’s diary, Hughie’s deceased girlfriend, surfaces. The diary reveals dark secrets, pulling Hughie back into the dangerous world of Supes and conspiracies. Ennis’s distinctive style is evident throughout this sequel. His ability to intertwine serious societal themes such as abuse of power, corruption, and moral ambiguities into a gripping and often shocking narrative remains unmatched. The black humor and frequent graphic depictions of violence are characteristic, providing the comic with its unique edge. Russ Braun's illustrations are dynamic and detailed. His artwork captures the dark atmosphere and often grotesque humor perfectly. The characters feel lively and authentic, and the action scenes are powerful and well-executed. A highlight of "Dear Becky" is the deepening of the characters. Hughie's inner conflicts and his relationship with Annie are portrayed with sensitivity and believability. The insight into Becky’s past adds emotional depth to the story, giving readers a better understanding of the characters' motivations. Despite its strengths, "Dear Becky" might be too violent and grim for some readers. The comic continues the series’ tradition of blending dark humor with brutal honesty, which might not appeal to everyone. However, for fans of the original series, it offers a compelling and worthy addition to the "The Boys" saga.
Eine düstere Parodie auf die Welt der Comic -Superhelden. Im Comic noch krasser als in der TV-Version. Die Welt der korrumpierten Superhelden ist von brutaler Rücksichtslosigkeit geprägt.
