Synopsis

The Boys Omnibus Vol. 1 collects the first fourteen issues of Garth Ennis's satirical superhero series, in which Billy Butcher, Wee Hughie, Mother's Milk, The Frenchman, and The Female — a CIA-backed team known as The Boys — police corrupt and dangerous "supes" that the public sees as heroes.

The opening arc introduces Hughie to the team, followed by "Get Some," in which Dark avenger Tek-Knight and his ex-partner Swingwing spiral into scandal and violence, and "Glorious Five-Year Plan," which sends the team to Russia to confront a super-powered conspiracy tangled up with organized crime. The omnibus also includes bonus art and Ennis's original script for issue #1.
