A bit different than the path the show decided to go on Herogasm. Always amazes me when I read something so great and then realize how much it had to change for folks to digest it via TV.

Brilliant as always.

I can't really see this storyline making it to the show - the orgy that heroes REALLY get up to when they're having their annual team-up to go off and fight an alien invasion of whatever. Pretty sick stuff. But a good story for The Boys . . .

The fifth collected volume of Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson's The Boys collects Herogasm, the six-issue mini-series that finds the superheroes uniting to take on an awesome, singular evil that threatens all mankind. Okay, well, not quite. As Butcher, Hughie, and the rest of the Boys soon learn, the supes are all doing something that isn't quite so heroic, or responsible, or...well, you be the judge. Yes, just as you would come to expect if you've been following the series at all, Herogasm is a vulgar, filthy, laugh out loud in shock blast from beginning to end. Ennis' writing is once again in ultra-fine form, and the artwork from his longtime Hitman collaborator John McCrea is more than solid as well. All in all, just as mentioned many times before when it comes to reviewing The Boys, you just can't go wrong with this series.

3.0 out of 5 stars Mid-Season Break?
Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2009
Verified Purchase
This collection felt like a mid-season break filler for the series. Not an awful lot happened but there were some minor details on past events that enlightened us and on future plans that set up the second half of the series (I am not going to reveal any of them - let's say they deal with the Brooklyn Brdige, Vought America's world domination plans & the beginning of the rise of the superheroes community). However, six issues to give as little information as we received was a bit much. This could've been slimmed down by a couple of issues. The art is ok but not up to Robertson's standard and the whole Herogasm thing is a good idea but sort of jumps the shark after a couple of issues. Overall it's worth getting to find out some of the details but don't be expecting a masterpiece.

5.0 out of 5 stars Garth Ennis é o cara!
Reviewed in Brazil on December 13, 2018

Com relação a arte, saiba que ela é boa e cumpre bem o seu papel. Mas ela não interessa muito nesta analise.
O que interessa aqui é roteiro. Um roteiro bem elaborado, interessante e viciante feito por um dos melhores roteiristas do mercado norte americano. Quem conhece o roteirista já sabe o que esperar, mas quem não conhece, bem vindo a universo em que a facilidade de analisar os personagens por bom e mau não existe. Nesta serie até o mais bonzinho dos personagens as vezes trapaceia, mente, apela para a violência, é escroto, e apresenta outros vícios; e até os maus as vezes são carismáticos o suficiente para você torcer por eles. Nesta série o poder corrompe, o dinheiro corrompe o prazer corrompe, e pensando bem, até o amor corrompe. Mas não se preocupe, você não vai ficar enojado com esse mundo, você será seduzido por ele.
Ótima compra.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superhero retreat
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 1, 2019
Verified Purchase
In one word: superheroporn. It's like the gentle wink of temptation island trying to say that not all that glitters is sperm - or something like that. Herogasm is a retreat after the first 30 issues presented in the previous four volumes. A filler episode pat excellence. Still it connects to the previous storylines, and leaves you hanging for more.
