Haven't read First Law yet -- gonna have to hunt that down. Have interest.

Looks like they've released three definitive editions of The Boys and trade-paperbacks through issue #47 (and the first two completed spin-off mini-series, Herogasm and Highland Laddie). The Name of the Game and Get Some are the first two, but the third, Good For the Soul, is mostly the Legend recounting the secret history of the world to Hughie, including 9/11 in issue #21, easily my favorite of the series. It's just the perfectly harrowing realization of the pipe-dreams of superheroes trying to stop an airliner mid-flight colliding with basic physics and raw ego.

It's all kinds of wrong.
