It is impossible to appreciate Garth Ennis' The Boys fully on a single reading. I am currently rereading all the collections from cover to cover. I have learned the answers to these questions:
What is the Female's surname?
Which James Bond villain is referenced?
Who does the Legend look like?
But not:
Why is Hughie such a prat towards Annie?
For more comments on The Boys, see here.

Superman II
Absurdities:
people speaking in a vacuum;
no time lag for Earth-Moon radio contact;
Kryptonese heard as English;
coincidences on a cosmic scale;
never-before-heard-of Kryptonian powers;
a kiss inducing selective amnesia;
no explanation of the terrorists' demands.
Comments:
we recognize characters and settings from the previous film, thus establishing that we are watching a series;
the Zod Squad are not seen again in this series;
the first installment of the second Superman film series ends with Supes killing Zod;
this film ad shows them fighting above New York.
