The Boys #4

This fourth volume of Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson's boundary-pushing series arrives with a cover that's an absolute feast for the eyes — a chaotic, cartoonishly detailed scene packed with costumed figures, bystanders, and general mayhem spilling across and around a weathered townhouse, with characters tumbling off rooftops, brawling in the street, and causing havoc in every corner of the frame. The sheer density of the artwork rewards a long look, with something new to discover each time you scan the illustration. We Gotta Go Now promises more of the sharp, irreverent energy the series is known for, and at $19.99 it collects a solid chunk of one of 2009's most talked-about superhero satires.
