A successful take on superhero tales

the boys book reading order
The Boys book reading order

The superhero content has been so overexploited that part of the audience frown upon new attempts to join what you could call a saturated market. With so many comic stories produced by both Marvel and DC comics, it is hard to believe that any other competitors would dare try to get a bit of their audience’s attention.

However, The Boys graphic novels by Garth Ennis are great proof that with a great plot and a different approach there are still many superhero stories to tell. What makes this story different? we are used to heroes being good-hearted, pristine in their behavior, etc… this series show is precisely a satire of that, a team of superheroes who seem to be perfect when they are on camera, but who happen to be despicable beings in their daily lives.

Because of the atrocities some of the superheroes have done, comes an alliance to stop them once and for all. Hughie saw her girlfriend die in front of his eyes, just because a speedster hero was heavily drugged. His life will change when he meets William Butcher, who will ask him to join his team, his plan? to take down Vought, the company that leads the superhero industry.

A list with the reading order of The Boys graphic novels

Here’s a list collecting all the comics in The Boys series. As we said, the story is concluded. But, who knows? the tv show is being so successful that it’s not hard to believe that there will be any sort of sequel, or maybe a spin-off? would you love that? leave a comment and tell us.

Also, if you have already started watching the tv adaptation, you’ll be able to tell that it must be coming to an end. However, maybe they extend the show by writing a different story that is not loyal to the comic books? we’ll see!

Ingredients

  • Dynamite Entertainment

Instructions

  • The Name of the Game (The Boys book 1)
  • Get Some (The Boys book 2)
  • Good for the Soul (The Boys book 3)
  • We Gotta Go Now (The Boys book 4)
  • Herogasm (The Boys book 5)

  • Over the Hill with Swords of A Thousand Men (The Boys book 11)
  • The Bloody Doors Off (The Boys book 12)
  • Dear Becky (The Boys book 13)

We recommend these graphic novels to children over twelve years old, there are a lot of gore scenes, some sex, and a massive amount of violence. There’s actually a lot of explicit content, so bear that in mind before reading the graphic novels (the same goes to its Prime Video series adaptation).

Regarding the show, it is undeniable that the cast has done a great job making all these amazing characters come to life. Antony Starr as The Homelander is worth mentioning, his acting is so good that people really hate him. But remember, you can hate the character but, please, don’t hate the actor! that just means he’s just amazing at his job!

Gaunt’s Ghosts books tell us about a commisar by the same name and his men having to fight the most evil and horrendous creatures. The 40k universe is a nightmare, galaxies are full of enemies and races more than willing to extinguish humanity, and it’s thanks to men like Imperial Commissar Gaunt that this is unlikely to happen.

From chaos forces to Eldar, this military scifi series will show us the struggle of Gaunt’s men in the most bloody battles. The  Imperial Guard faction is usually regarded as one of the most appealing to readers, since it shows how ordinary men have to deal fighting against monsters and powerful creatures.

While knowing about the lore of WH 40k might be of great help, there’s no need of previous knowledge to enjoy this series, since Dan Abnett does a great job making these novels self-explanatory. The grimdark tone, together with a plot full of treachery and mysteries to discover, makes this a more than enjoyable read for fans of the lore of this table top game.

This series was self published, and, as you can see, coming from a more humble background didn’t prevent it from becoming a bestseller. Not only do these books have thousands of reviews (mostly positive by the way) on Amazon, but Scott Pratt is also acknowledged as a New York Times bestselling author. Also, the author passed away in 2021 due to a diving accident.

Now that we revealed the order of the Joe Dillard books don’t miss these series

Joe Dillard Scott Pratt’s series

Joe Dillard loves law as much as he loves his family. He takes his cases personally and fights for his clients in court with all the legal weapons he knows. Each of the volumes in the series tells us about a different case, all of them complicated and some rather controversial. For Joe justice always prevails, but sadly not everyone thinks like him…

The fact that each of the volumes tells us a self-contained story does not mean that you shouldn’t read the Jode Dillard books in order because this series is not only about what happens in court but it’s also about Joe Dillard himself and his family. By reading the novels as we suggested you’ll have a way better experience, seeing how the character progresses along with the series.

Just so you can know how it all starts here’s a quick excerpt of the first volume in the series: a young girl is accused of brutally murdering a preacher, and the city of Tennesee is shocked by this horrifying news.
