The Boys #58

Garth Ennis and Russ Braun continue "The Big Ride" with this 2011 Dynamite entry in their sharp-edged superhero satire. Darick Robertson's cover art centers on a supremely self-satisfied, red-caped, bald superhero smoking a cigarette while surrounded by five smiling women in bikinis — a tableau that captures The Boys' trademark irreverence toward cape-and-tights excess perfectly. It's a brazenly confident image that sets the tone for the kind of skewed superhero storytelling this series consistently delivers.
