While not a book, The Boys tv show is vastly better than the original comics it’s based on.
That's because the original comic is pure Garth Ennis trash. It's just edgy for edginess sake with nothing to actually say beyond "celebrity culture bad".
The show still has an edginess problem, but it is much better and has a more or less coherent viewpoint.
In fact I think you'd be hard pressed to find any film/show or maybe any adaptation in any media that's more Superior to its source material than the boys.
Better than the comic BOOK's?
The books's what?
