About this listen

For the first time ever in audio! GraphicAudio and Dynamite Comics are proud to present The Boys, produced with a full cast of actors, immersive sound effects, and cinematic music.

This is going to hurt!

In a world where costumed heroes soar through the sky and masked vigilantes prowl the night, someone has to make sure the "supes" don't get out of line. And someone will!

Billy Butcher, Wee Hughie, Mother's Milk, The Frenchman, and The Female are The Boys: a CIA-backed team of very dangerous people, each one dedicated to the struggle against the most dangerous force on Earth - superpower!

Some superheroes have to be watched. Some have to be controlled. And some of them - sometimes - need to be taken out of the picture. That's when you call in The Boys!

Fourteen issues adapted to GraphicAudio containing The Name of the Game, Cherry, Get Some, and Glorious Five-Year Plan. Joseph Rybandt, executive editor of Dynamite and editor of The Boys, says, “While I did not grow up anywhere near the Golden Age of Radio, I have loved the medium of radio and audio dramas almost my entire life. Podcasts make my commute bearable to this day. To have such an important and powerful piece of graphic fiction adapted into a series of audio dramas? Well, it’s perfect, innit?”

The Bloodline

Loved it. Definitely worth a listen, deeper insight into the characters as you would expect. On to the next one :-)

More gritty than the series

Loved all the performances, laughed out loud more than once and will definitely listen to the others in the series.

Brilliant cinema for the mind

This book was a good listen but what happened with the Scottish accent? It was more reminiscent of a jovial Irish leprechaun (Lucky charms).

It was fine for a free listen via the plus catalogue but it would be quite annoying if the accent were to continue in future paid for volumes. On the other hand I was a fan of Michael Caine....I mean the Butcher.

If you are wondering how can they translate all the action scenes in this audiobook, well it is possible. The boys are even crazier
