The Boys Volume 12: The Bloody Doors Off by Garth Ennis

4.0

What to say in this one - the end. One thing I really like with Ennis is his ability to say when and how he’ll end. No never ending segways and continuous drawn out stories, he ends the lot, and when he does, boy does he end it. I did not expect half of what occurred in these final hundred odd pages. Heart tugging and enraging, he takes everything that’s built up slowly in the previous 11 volumes and kicks the shit out of it, in typical Butcher fashion. There’s no happy ending to be had here but that’s fitting of the collection. Whilst it waned a lot through the midpoint of the comics, the Boys really picked up again at the end and went out with a bang. I did feel some of the motives were a bit slack and unobviously obvious, but still a good read and showed the comic stands better when not over diluted with characters and focussing instead on the core group of players.
