EARTHTONZ MUSIC FESTIVAL PRIZE

HUGE
PRIZE

This week EMI has released two new
deluxe packages of Pink Floyd’s Wish You
Were Here. The Immersion and Experience
editions are the second phase of the label’s
re-releases with tracks personally chosen by
David Gilmour, Roger Waters and drummer
Nick Mason, who tells us a little bit about
the release.
On why the catalogue is being released:
It’s a chance to issue and reissue material
with all its packaging... it’s one of the
things that I think is really missing at the
moment from downloads, I think long
term there probably will be added value in
downloading, and there’ll be video and all
sorts of other interesting things, but at the
moment a download is a fairly ephemeral
thing compared to the concept of the album.
On the evolution of Pink Floyd’s sound:
We changed with the times. I think we
were heavily influenced by all sorts of other
things... I think the R&B bands all started
heading off into other territory. Cream might
be the best example of that, where they
went off into using the R&B structure, but
into the very extended solos, which of course
were never part of the original concept.
On the unreleased material included in
the catalogue:
We had been opposed to a lot of stuff
coming out before because what we’ve now
been able to do is do a lot of repair work, so
the quality has been improved enormously
with different ways of cleaning things EARTHTONZ MUSIC FESTIVAL

another reason why some of this has 2 X FESTIVAL PASSES ($298 VALUE)

The record that I really still have great
affection for is Saucerful Of Secrets. I think
that was the beginning of finding different
NORTHERN LIGHTS PRIZE PACK
ways of doing things, I think the title
track was important because it borders
on not being rock music at all, it borders
on being something else, but it is still in
the genre. ‘Set The Controls’ is still one of
my favourite tracks of all time, I like the
playing on it and I like the song and the NORTHERN LIGHTS

Australia’s favourite potty-mouth criminal parody is coming
to a town near you this November… and he’s bringing a mate.
Chopper doesn’t like journalists; we’re on his list of people who
can get fucked. When you’re told you’ve got interview time with him a
few things go through your head, like that he is going to eat you alive and
then tell you to harden the fuck up. I was almost as nervous as that time
I shouted “west side” out in Whakatane. So when out-of-character Heath
Franklin answered the phone it was somewhat of a relief. No fucks, no
bloodies and no shits, suspiciously polite Franklin’s grasp of the English
language was a lot more tame than his alter ego.
When you peel off the squiggly line tattoos and take off the handlebar
mo, you get a rather anonymous Franklin. In Auckland for a brief stay
before doing the comedy laps in Queensland and coming back here for
a fifteen-stop tour, the “regular dude,” Franklin told us about the man
behind the crassness and how the international ambassador of hard was
born. ”I used to do a Chopper sketch at (Macquarie) Uni and took it to a
Melbourne comedy festival,” he recalls.
Franklin says from that point, the TV executives leapt on it and gave
him the opportunity needed to make the hard ass we all know. Everyone
has that mate that does that odd thing when they go out. “I used to be
that guy running around as Chopper at parties,” he laughs. The idea
for Franklin came from watching the Eric Bana film “far too many
times”. With the ‘real’ Chopper not giving too much away in reference
material, the inspiration for Franklin’s alter ego grew from a mixture of
frustration and attention. Early on in Chopper’s ‘career’ working at The
Ronnie Johns Half Hour, Franklin found himself ignored by the backroom
TV folk. When he pulled out Chopper to speak up they all laughed and
applauded, and listened. “People listen to Chopper,” Franklin says. “You
get away with more than you usually would. Chopper is the best way to
get an immediate reaction.”
Franklin met the real Chopper about six years ago and recalls it as
being awkward. “It was pretty weird. He’s a hard guy to get along with –
I think that’s the way he likes it.”
Having an alter ego as a full time job can get a little confusing at times.
Franklin says he finds himself and others dropping the f-bomb after
shows. He also said there was one time where Chopper made his way
into his head. “I had this dream that I was Chopper. It was pretty weird,
walking round as him in my own head.” Franklin also likes taking a
break from Chopper and hanging and talking serious (yeah I’ve seen him
on TV too and thought that was shocking).
10 | grooveguide.co.nz
PS
Chopper has been to the UK but Franklin tends to keep him to
Australia and New Zealand. “I found it was a really long way to fly to do
a show for Australians,” he jokes. Franklin is looking forward to touring
New Zealand; we are a little less disruptive than our Australian cousins.
Occasionally, he says, there’s a guy or two who sit there and yell at the
stage. He’s also quite looking forward to taking some down time to see
the country – although he’s been here before, his schedule’s usually too
demanding to get out and look around.
This tour is Chopper’s A Hard Bastard’s Guide To Life and brings
Man Vs. Wild’s Bear Grylls to New Zealand (in alter ego form). Franklin
has brought him out to shows in Melbourne and Western Australia and
says they went real well. The tour looks anti-establishment with the
fucking around that has induced a “self-congratulatory, bargain-priced,
capitalist-induced anxiety wank-storm,” in its sights. It’s a 60 minute
blow-by-blow guide on how to punch life in the guts, and it should be
well worth a visit to the provincial theatres for something other than the
local high school’s annual interpretation of Rodgers and Hammerstein.

Katherine Patrick is the operations manager for Art in the Dark – a
weekend-long installation of contemporary art held in Ponsonby’s
Western Park in Auckland. Patrick told Groove Guide about how Art in the
Dark came about, and what ’s in store for the event happening this weekend.
Like most great things, Art in the Dark was born out of a drunken
conversation. I met Celia Harrison, then a student of spatial design at AUT
and now Art in the Dark’s Creative Director, back in the days when I still
thought it was OK to wear fake glasses to house parties in Grey Lynn.
Celia wanted to run an event as her final graduate project and in all my
faux-near-sighted earnestness I nodded on, impressed as she explained
her research on catalysing community through participatory event
practice. (Or I was soon to understand a little better once sober; making
sure, rather than just looking on, the public can get involved and go
beyond spectator status.) Adjusting my pointless spectacles, I mumbled
a whisky-ed rhyme involving the words ‘park’ ‘dark’ and ‘art’ (which I
probably pronounced ‘ark’ for continuity’s sake).
I quickly learnt that Celia is the kind of person who gets stuff done.
One meeting later and all the clichés of cogs and wheels in motion
applied. A committee was gathered: Adelle Rodda as Environmental
Consultant (babe), Hannah Cooke as Media Manager (babe), Xanthe
Harrison as Graphic Designer (babe), I became the Operations Manager
(admirer of babes) and Celia was the enormous brain behind it all as
Creative Director (and of course, babe).
The event took shape. We wanted it to be local and so elected Western
Park as the host space. We then set the challenge of projects that had to
be eco-friendly and be stunningly illuminated at night, wanting to attract
a broad spectrum of artists from different disciplines. The formula
worked. We made our way through the successful inaugural event last
October by never having time to argue, being gratuitous with high fives,
making sure there were always snacks at meetings and throwing plenty
of launch parties.
It was a success and we were exhausted. Overwhelmed by local support,
we watched thousands of people potter through Western Park. Incredible
illuminated pieces were much admired as picnics were munched on the
embankments, kids ran happily riot and residents rediscovered a space
they’d forgotten. Projects ranged from a tiny, intricate city built into the
water fountain, to a giant glowing chandelier made of recycled milk bottles
suspended between trees, to sound installations that reverberated through
the park’s ideally cavernous middle.
Celia’s genius prevailed and the committee has reformed to bring Art
in the Dark back to Western Park on 11 & 12 November. We want it to be
bigger and better and so the team has expanded to include such grown-
S
up positions as a Sponsorship Manager – Joy Ramirez (babe) and a PR
person – Ella Mizrahi (babe). We’ve got a sexy new website, a volunteer
programme and all that amazing support all over again.
There are returning artists from last year as well as a few fresh faces,
and I’m once again simultaneously in awe and a bit jealous of the creative
minds Art in the Dark attracts. (I’m reassured by Celia that how good
I am at filling in health and safety forms more than makes up for the
fact I’m so bad at art I can barely make a stickperson’s gender clear.)
The best thing about being part of Art in the Dark is that it is crucially
collaborative. When great minds don’t think alike but find a common
ground they are passionate about, very good things happen. (Still. If
there was a competition for filling out health and safety forms, I would
win. Just saying.) 2011’s line-up is already looking pretty flash. Here’s
a cryptic taster: we’ve got giant light-boxes, sea-mapping, live video
gaming, an acoustic western, glowing knitting, smoky rainbows and
zooming wings to obscurely name a few.
I’ve realised New Zealand is a decent place to get things off the ground.
There is a unique enthusiasm here that is hard to beat. Considering that
all we started out with were a few bits of paper, big smiles and a promise
that we could make it happen, faith in us was maintained by everyone
and we were given a real chance. Now we’re part of an event that will
be sticking around for a while and eventually, we hope, evolve to be
as celebrated as similar happenings worldwide. This country is full of
creative talent that deserves to be showcased and celebrated, and Art in
the Dark really likes doing just that.

IN G VIR
Director Steven Soderbergh talks about the frightening
truths that went into his latest action-thriller about a
viral outbreak, Contagion.
There have been other movies about viral outbreaks. Did you feel
that the timing was right to make a movie like Contagion?
Well, I guess we’re going to see. The only thing that might
indicate that the timing might be good was my reaction to Scott [Z.
Burns, screenwriter] proposing this, the reaction on the part of the
Participant [Media] when we went then to float the idea of developing
it, and the reaction from Warner Bros. when we presented them
the script. Everyone felt there was a place for an ultra-realistic film
about this subject. Nobody hesitated. It all happened very quickly,
uncharacteristically quickly, actually, considering what the business is
like now for adult dramas. So that made me feel like maybe we were on
to something.
How did your involvement with this project change your
behaviour?
I don’t know that my behaviour’s changed. I’m just really aware of it
now. I was handed some lip balm by one of the makeup people, which
I took a Kleenex and cleaned off, but who knows if that worked. So,
don’t get near my mouth. Having gone through it, I’m always going to be
conscious of it now. It was fun during the previews to watch the lights
come up and 400 people realize that they’re next to a bunch of strangers
and that they’ve touched everything. You could tell they weren’t happy. 
Were there any conventions of the thriller genre that you were
consciously avoiding with this film?
Yeah, the one rule that we had was we can’t go anywhere one of our
characters hasn’t been. We can’t cut to a city or to a group of extras that
we’ve never been to, that we don’t know personally. That was our rule.
And that’s a pretty significant rule to adhere to in a movie in which
you’re trying to give a sense of something that’s happening on a large
scale. But we felt that all of the elements that we had issues with prior,
when we see any kind of disaster film, we’re sort of centred around that
idea – that suddenly you cut to Paris, where you’ve never been, and
something happens. And it’s a bunch of people that you don’t have any
emotional engagement with. So, we were trying to have it be epic and
also intimate at the same time. That was rule number one.

AL
Can you talk about shooting the movie in terms of the balance that
you got between the big spectacle and the most intimate moments? 
I was just trying to keep it very, very simple. That meant the entire
film’s shot with two lenses, basically. And when I would look at a scene, I
would try to figure out how few shots I needed, as opposed to how many.
I really wanted it to be, in terms of style, one of the simplest movies that
I’ve ever made. Often that can require more than just walking in and
saying, “I’m just going to cover the hell out of this and I’ll figure it out
later.” My approach was, “I really want to keep this simple and want
every shot to have a purpose and want every cut to have a purpose. I
don’t want any waste.” If you pulled one shot out, it meant something
would be diminished. So, that was really it – eye-level, no crane shots, no
throwing the camera around.
One of the reasons that you cast Jennifer [Ehle] was because you
had seen her work that did not make it into the movie she was in.
Can you talk about that?
I’d known who Jennifer was for a long time. And this didn’t take a lot
of thought, honestly. I have a somewhat long list of people that I’ve seen
over the course of my career that I’ve thought, “Wow, they would be great
to work with.” So I’m just glad that worked out.
Did you know she would be able to handle the technical work that
her character does? 
I knew by her saying yes that she was willing to take a run at some
very complex language. One of the most difficult scenes in terms of the
language in the movie, is the explanation when she says, “Okay, look, we
know what it is now. The green part is this and the red part is that.” At
one point we were shooting a scene and Ian [Lipkin, a consultant on set]
said, “Well, she should say that it’s morphologically-pathoneumonic.”
And I said, “I can’t ask another human being to say that.” There’s just
no way. But I was amazed that not only could she say it, she could say
it as though she truly understood it, which, as a writer – and I’m sure
everybody else up here feels the same way – when you have somebody
who can do that, it means that your script can live.

 GAMING
Headphoning It In
The official Playstation 3 7.1
wireless headphones make
all the difference when you’re
gaming with your games,
watching your fancy Blu-Rays
or ignoring your annoying live-
in on-and-off girlfriend. A good
sound is equal to good graphics,
and Sony has picked up on that.
This device is everything you
want in gaming headphones.
You hear sound better and
clearer, meaning that you pick
up on more. If you’re playing
a shoot-em-up, you can hear
enemy footsteps and snipe that
Nazi-zombie dead.
Obviously you’re going to
want wireless, because cords
are for the ‘90s and freshly born
babies. The biggest letdown

Temple Run
Smartphone Game Review
You’d think that with any new
smartphone game, the one
thing the producers are aiming
for would be to be the next
Angry Birds. It’s
a phenomenon
that no other
smartphone game
has truly come
close to – next
on the list would
have to be Doodle
Jump, perhaps
followed by Robot
Unicorn Attack.
What some
gaming studios
do is let out a free
version of their
game. Not a lite or
practice version,
but more of a beta version.
Enter the time I found my new
favourite smartphone game,
Temple Run.
Like the other runaway hit
games, the addictiveness lies
in the simplicity. Our little hero
runs forward, and you swipe left
or right to make him turn, swipe
is that they run off a USB stick as
opposed to Bluetooth audio. Yes,
Bluetooth audio sounds like a
robot from the future according
to a 1950s movie mixed with the
annoyance of a dial-up modem,
so the loss of a USB port in order
to use these is probably better
than that pain in the arse sound.
The microphone works well
enough, buta needless problem
is the volume control tucked all
the way behind your ear.
All in all these are a solid pair
of next-gen surround sound
headphones that deliver exactly
what you want out of a third gen
console audio system. Bummer
is they’re only available in the
US at the moment, but if you
can’t wait then check out your
importer of choice.
up to make him jump and down
to make him slide. He dodges
obstacles and collects coins. The
more coins collected, the more
bonuses/speedups
you can get along
the way. If you don’t
quite make a jump
or accidentally side
swipe a wall, then
the monsters will
get you. Because
there are monsters
chasing you.
It’s a very
familiar game
in one way – it’s
basically that scene
from Indiana Jones.
You know the one.
The one where
he’s running. If your old Sega
Megsystem II had an Indiana
Jones game it would be this.

album reviews
No doubt they were the most influential
band after the Stones and The Beatles.
But for years, CD retailers were starved of
their back catalogue and it was difficult to
find anything that wasn’t a concert, box
set or compilation.
Finally, under the ‘Why Pink Floyd?’
banner, EMI has stepped up with
their own concept albums: A digitally
remastered release of all originals as
Discovery albums, a two CD Experience
concept, including recording from the
1974 Wembley dates, and for those with
The Unfaithful Ways
Free Rein
lllll
On the rear cover of Free Rein is an image of
a quake-damaged building on Tuam Street in
Christchurch. But rather than electioneering,
or forcing an idea upon us, the thoughts it
provokes are strangely reverential.
And so it is with the way this Garden
City-bred four-piece approach their craft
and their heroes – a brand of country
music that rests within themes and
general construction rather than sticking
to uncompromising principles and the
expectation that surrounds artists of the
same ilk.
Lead songwriter Marlon Williams often
evokes his hero, Mr Van Zandt, though at
times he’s left crooning like Charlie Fink
used to. It’s no criticism, though, as his
talent for spinning words together over
meat’n’potatoes-style instrumentation
is incredibly entrancing, verses spilling
graciously over into heady choruses. There’s
nothing too fancy here, just simple and
blindingly effective chord changes and the
occasional vocal harmony. But my oh my,
how genius it is.

Shit worth listening to
Pink Floyd
Wish You Were Here and A Foot In The Door
llll
a Platinum Card, the five-disc all-singing,
all-dancing Immersion CD/DVD box sets with
more paraphernalia than you can shake an
inflatable pig at.
First off the block was Dark Side of the
Moon. And now, just in time for Christmas is
Wish You Were Here, their second head-on
meld of Hypnosis’ incredible concept art
with Waters/Mason/Gilmours’ expeditionary
compositions. Worth the trek on the
Exploration CD is Stephane Grappelli’s violin
solo on ‘Shine on You Crazy Diamond’, a
honey-sweet alternative to Gilmour’s leads.
Plus there’s Water’s live-wire paranoia and
a haunting bass on ‘Raving And Drooling’
and a slightly funky version of ‘You’ve Got
To Be Crazy’. Still, the entirely pedestrian live
version of “Have a Cigar’ seems like a little
too much fluff in the pillow, and, to quote,
like “riding the gravy train”.
Ever since A Collection of Great Dance
Songs, I’ve thought that creating a ‘best
of’ compilation of Pink Floyd was a bad
idea. Taking songs out of both context and
concept is like removing the cannon from the
Puscifer
Conditions Of My Parole
lllll
While ever-popular Tool tour the world
selling out arenas, singer Maynard James
Keenan has a more subversive musical
outlet up his sleeve: Puscifer. Conditions
Of My Parole is the second album under this
pseudonym and it is miles beyond their jokey
but cool debut.
It is a masterful mix of electronic
soundscapes, multilayered vocals and
synthesizers, with some tongue in cheek
rockers on the side. ‘Toma’ bristles with
bad mojo while the fantastic title track
revels in its tale of law breakers who can’t
catch a break. Songs like ‘Horizons’, ‘The
Weaver’ and the gorgeous ‘Green Valley’
are powerful emotive songs that reveal the
heart of a true artist beating under Keenan’s
famously rocky exterior.
With every release Puscifer evolves and
strengthens its status as a fully formed
musical ensemble rather than just some
side project.
This is the soundtrack to the world’s
strangest nightclub and you’re invited.

1812 overture; you need the whole package
to truly get it. But if you’re one of the three
people in the universe who haven’t heard
Floyd, then this is the best starter. A Foot
in the Door is a fair career retrospective
for one of rock’s most innovative and
progressive outfits. That said, the selection
predictably downplays the psychedelic
days in favour of these best moments
from Dark Side, Wish and The Wall. There
are obvious omissions: ‘Arnold Layne’
and ‘Careful with that Axe Eugene’ to
boot. But time constraints and a need to
stay in the middle of the road probably
played a role here. Longtime collaborator
Storm Thorgerson adds his new, kind of
groovy cover, although in these days of
Photoshop, his approach does seems a
little less dazzling. Naturally, the sound on
all these recordings surpasses anything
possible at Abbey Road or elsewhere.

Tom Waits
Bad As Me
lllll
Tom Waits is a well-respected but crusty
oddball, but to many he is practically
invisible.
In 2011, 38 years into his career as both a
musician and actor, he has released Bad As
Me, his 17th album. What you find inside is
wonky, gutbucket blues frequently howled at
top volume. ‘Chicago’ shuffles and jives like
vintage r’n’b caked in grime.
The fevered ramblings of ‘Hell Broke
Luce’ terrify as Waits rails against horrors
of combat.
But it’s not all hellfire and carnival tricks.
The slower, sweeter songs work their way
under your skin and into your heart. ‘New
Years Eve’ is a whiskey-breathed lament and
‘Talking At The Same Time’ plays a surf guitar
waltz over a sandpaper falsetto.
Tom Waits is a larger than life character
who is part pied piper and part devil’s
advocate. His albums are brimming with
brilliant, demented imagery and we would
not have it any other way.

About half-way through Drive,
Bernie Rose, the mid-level
LA mobster character played
by Albert Brooks, is talking
about his past as a producer
of action movies in the ‘80s.
“Some people described them
as…‘European’…” he says. Both
times I’ve seen Drive, this line
elicited a mild murmur of
recognition from the audience,
The Debt
film
lll
With the deaths this year of Bin
Laden and Gaddafi, The Debt’s
examination of how a narrative
forms around the murky truths
of assassination and espionage
is timely. When that narrative
is part of the developmental
process of a nation, as the
Mossad’s plan to hunt down
Nazi war criminals was for Israel,
it can take on a life of its own,
whether true or not.
Set in both the 1960s and
1990s, the film tells the story
of an Israeli operation to bring
a war criminal to justice and
the effect liberties with the
truth threaten to have 30 years
later. Helen Mirren’s character
has managed to live with this
until pushed to confront it and
her subsequent investigations
and arguments with a former

Shit worth watching
as he is essentially describing
the movie he is in.
On paper, Drive sounds
pretty generic and at one point
was destined to be a stock-
standard action movie with
Hugh Jackman in the lead role.
Thankfully, Ryan Gosling and
crazy Danish director Nicolas
Winding Refn (Bronson, Valhalla
Rising) came on board and

Starring

AND TOM WILKINSON
colleague (Tom Wilkinson) are
intercut with the mission itself.
With this star power it comes
as a surprise that The Debt’s
strongest moments stem from
scenes with younger versions
of these characters; Jessica
Chastain (Tree Of Life) proving
a compelling screen presence
and our own Martin Csokas a
magnificent creep.
But for all this acting power
on display,The Debt comes off
as less than the sum of its parts.
Perhaps that’s because the film
is so performance-focused that
the broader ramifications of
its characters’ actions aren’t
immediately obvious, but it
doesn’t manage to sustain the
sort of tension nor provide a
satisfactory resolution.

Drive
FILM
lllll
created a modern masterpiece of
stylistic austerity and unfettered
cool.
A neon and synth-laden ‘80s
fever dream, Drive manages to
hold back where similar films
go over the top. The opening
car chase is excruciatingly slow,
creating a sustained air of uneasy
tension that finds release in brief
flashes of extreme violence.
Gosling commands the screen
with the effortless cool of
Newman or McQueen – he has
very few lines, but his actions
speak volumes. Refn infuses
even the most minor characters

ll
It should have been a match
made in heaven. Teaming up
the stars of two of the more
avant-garde and risqué romantic
movies for the past few years
– Love and Other Drugs and
Across the Universe – with
a Danish director who had
already made an acclaimed,
period-set literary adaptation.
Unfortunately the end result
is a half-baked, virtually
humourless, pseudo-romantic
muddle that doesn’t do the
much-loved book justice.
A cross between When Harry
Met Sally (can they ever really
just be friends?) and 500 Days of
Summer (a distillation of a
relationship’s falls and rises),
One Day lacks the former’s wit
and the latter’s invention. Part of
the problem is that there’s little
delivering scorching supporting
performances. Only Carey
Mulligan (An Education) as the
love interest, seems a little bit
out of place.
A firecracker up the backside
of the bloated modern action
movie, Drive shows just how
emotive and poetic the genre
can be.

chemistry between the leads,
and the story’s brief running
time and episodic nature
doesn’t help that. Sturgess can’t
transcend the fact that Dexter
is basically an upper-class prat,
while Hathaway just struggles
with the accent and a terribly
underwritten character.
Scherfig tries to
enliven proceedings with
clever Teachers-esque titles
and a soundtrack that includes
everyone from Tracy Chapman
to Tears for Fears and Del Amitri
to Fat Boy Slim, but you can’t
help feeling this dreary tale
could have done with a bit
of fancy editing or narrative
reconstruction.

 Shit Worth reading
On Paper
The Boys
Comic Review
If there’s one massive release
happening this month in the
comics world, it’s the ninth
release of Garth Ennis’ runaway
hit, The Boys.
A lot of comic readers don’t
like reading mainstream books
– the likes of The Avengers,
X-Men, Justice League, etc. These
people are more into their indie
publications, whether you’re
looking at the festival-like
cultures and themes that come
out of Fantagraphics Books or
creator-owned series. The Boys
can appeal to these people in
more ways than one.
Garth has a vocal disdain for
superheroes. The Boys is his
love note (or more of a Dear
John) to the superhero comics
universe. Set in a world where
superheroes exist as marketing
dreams as well as personified
government defence contracts,
Garth looks at what that kind
of power can do to the ego of
any given person who considers
them self to be invincible.
Enter a covert CIA-squad
informally known as The Boys
to monitor that superhero
community. The group that
keeps tabs on superheroes and
keep them in line. If a “hero” is
acting out, then The Boys take
them down, and take them
down hard.
The storyline can be filthy.
Consider the likes of a Bret
Easton Ellis book, where
those with money and power
eventually search for anything
sadistic and abnormal to still
feel some kind of excitement
out of life. These “superheroes”
rely on their image in front
of the public, but behind the
scenes they are sexual deviants,
murderers and rapists. They
are corrupted by their status
as celebrities, and end up
compromising the safety of
the world they carelessly
take advantage of and end up
endangering.
When it comes to creating
badass characters, Garth has
to be one of the best in the
business. The multi-layered
storytelling is as thought out
and as serial as one of the
writer’s previous (and most
popular) series, Preacher.
Everything is foreshadowed
so meticulously that it truly
becomes a struggle to put the
book down.
This month the ninth trade
paperback will hit comic stands.
A whopping twelve issues will
be combined into this collection,
and by now there have to be
answers set up to the multitude
of questions readers have been
asking for over a year. In an
interview last year, Garth said
that The Boys would “out-
Preacher Preacher”, and that the
series would wind up around
issue 70. That point is getting
closer, and it’s been a hell of a
ride so far.
If you want a good metaphor
for the elite’s psyche, read
this comic. If you don’t like
superheroes, read this comic.
If you want to get into comics,
read this comic. Unless the
idea of blood, violence, sex and
egomania disturbs you, there is
no good reason for not reading
this comic.
