Well my favorite ongoing title was just canceled a week before the new issue was set to come out. The Boys was a new creator owned series written by legend Garth Ennis(Hellbalzer, Preacher, The Punisher to name a few) and penciled by Derrick Robertson of Transmetropolitan fame. They had put out 6 issues of a story that was described as one that was going to out Preacher Preacher. Those of you who have read Preacher will know that is a pretty tall order and for those of you who don't know what I am talking about get off your ass and read that story. It wont change your life or anything but it will put a big shit eating grin on your face. In any case in 6 issues we saw the beginnings of a story that had the potential to do justice to such a bold claim but again in only six issues you cant really say they did. Albeit it was very very graphic as far as the overall content went. I mean shit we had super heroes chain fucking whores who had to use a crazy drug just to keep their wombs from exploding, we had a hamster come out of a dead super heroes ass, we had the newest female member of the Seven(A Justice League parody) having to suck off all the male members if she wanted in. The list goes on. It was a dirty kinda depressing story about how absolute power corrupts absolutely. It really looked like it was going to go somewhere and had just begun to roll when DC pulled the plug. The content was just to much for them to handle and there was no way Ennis and Robertson were going to change their story. So one of the highest selling comics on th Wildstorm label a DC offshoot was canceled. The rights have been given back to Ennis and Robertson so that they can get it published elsewhere, but what a fucking joke on DC's behalf this is. You know when you let Garth Ennis loose on a story about super heroes with the build up of out Preachering Preacher you are going to get some crazy fucking shit. If you know that you are squeamish about content why even bother hiring them in the first place. All it really means is that all us fans now have to wait a while before they can find a new publisher and start putting this out again. Lord knows they are lining up to get this title as it is already an established money maker and all the hype that will come from this. So once again FUCK YOU VERY MUCH DC. You have shown that you are not only classless but are willing to censor work or cut it entirely if it doesn't conform to your narrow view.
