Herogasm = Nerdgasm

My all time favorite writer is Garth Ennis. His religious commentary and raping of the modern superhero make for some of the best reading of all time. “Preacher” remains to this day one of the best comics I have ever read, and another of my top 10, “The Boys”, also by Garth, causes that special tingle ever time I read an Avengers book. It takes serious balls to write the things Mr. Ennis writes, and let me tell you…. I can appreciate balls. I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Ennis for a bit once and we had a nice conversation about kittens and spring lillies…it was not exactly the way I excpected the conversation to go, but I guess when you write about death, destruction, and general sodomy so much, it is nice to chat about something else…after all you would probablly go fucking nuts it you didnt talk about lillies now and again, I know I do. The latest creation from Garth Ennis and the Wonder Team at Dynamite is “HEROGASM”…from the pages of THE BOYS. If you didn’t get enough of the superhero sexual exploits story from The Boys then this is the book for you! The begining of the book starts with the Homelander holding a press conference on the steps of the capital. Apparently there is a fleet of aliens on the war path and all of Earths hero’s as well as villains will team up (again) to try to stop them! I have to say that the quiet nods to the Marvel “Secret Invasion”/skrull buisiness is absolutely fantastic. Nothing really seems amiss as the super group fly off into the sky…it isn’t until you see that their landing spot that doesn’t quite seem to be a strange planet, or even anywhere in space that you start to wonder. Have you ever heard of those all inclusive adult resorts called Hedonism (here enjoy http://www.hedonism.com/)? Apparently the supes have their own little island retreat…and every year they throw this very large, week long party where they “go off planet to fight evil” and basically take a vacation…not exactly the vacation we all would proabally take…though some may like to…This week long escapade of debauchery and general hilaritty is called….HEROGASM! But have no fear Wee-Huey and The Boys aren’t far behind…but they haven’t come to the island for the sexual escapades…there is another VIP making the trip that has their attention! Guess you will just have to read it to find out who!
