One Sick Comic Scene

The Boys

Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson | 2006 (WildStorm/Dynamite)

Touted by Ennis as the book that would "out-Preacher Preacher." Nonetheless, DC gave the series the axe after six issues of its ultraviolent anti-super-hero storyline. And considering that one of the main characters gleefully executes 150 people in one issue after the book changed publishers, it's safe to say that those early stories were just a warm-up.
