One of the wildest books, but...
4 stars
...the end leaves things sort of hanging in a way that isn't meaningfully resolved (or at least wasn't to my satisfaction), even after reading the two books that come after this one. There's a good story in this series, though. It went from one of those "I should read that" books to "Hey, this is alright" to "This is one of the coolest things I've ever seen someone do with superheros".
I'm still not sure how The Boys found more success than this did as a TV show. It's basically made for the medium.
