If you haven’t yet read The Boys comics, there’s been no better time to pick up the series. Ahead of the release of Gen V season 2 on Prime Video, the omnibus editions are heading back to print!
In a recent announcement, publisher Dynamite Entertainment has revealed that the omnibus editions of Garth Ennis’ subversive superhero saga The Boys are returning to print.
The six omnibus editions will return to store shelves ahead of the September 17 debut of the second season of Gen V and leading to the fifth season of The Boys in 2026.
Of course, The Boys has become a staple for all comic readers. It was wildly popular before the Prime Video TV adaptation, but the success of the on-screen series has skyrocketed the comic to become one of the most talked-about and popular of the last few years. The series is heading into its fifth and final season in 2026, and spinoff Gen V returns for its sophomore season in September.

July 18, Mt. Laurel, NJ: Dynamite Entertainment announces an ambitious plan to go back to press on the full set of paperback omnibus editions of The Boys. This will allow the new inventory to be accessible to the publisher, and to retail partners through new distributors, and timed with the next content from the streaming adaptations on Amazon’s Prime Video.
New printings of all six paperback volumes are solicited again in the August for October Dynamite Dispatches catalog, solicited for October 1 release, but planning to arrive in stores earlier at the beginning of September ahead of the September 17 debut of the second season of Gen V and leading to the fifth season of The Boys in 2026. Therefore, these books are on “Final Order Cutoff” this weekend for retailers to order, and Dynamite suggests that retailers order aggressively, in case demand is high due to the success of Gen V, as the next printings will be printed overseas.
Across multiple formats since the show premiered, The Boys graphic novels have found their way into the hands and collections of countless fans. The series is available primarily across its 12 original volumes, in these six paperback omnibuses, or three deluxe oversized hardcovers. Covers on the omnibuses feature photos from the show or art from the original series, and some editions are offered with signatures from the series co-creators, writer Garth Ennis and artist Darick Robertson. The success of the books have also generated revenue and excitement for retailers across all channels.
Existing stock of The Boys omnibuses is not currently accessible by its publisher. These new additions will be available for immediate reorders through Dynamite’s current distributors Lunar Distribution, Universal Distribution, Diamond UK, and Simon & Schuster for all retailers in the specialty comics market and traditional book market.
The Boys comics are regarded for their six years long run across 90 issues. All of that extensive material is reprinted in these six convenient volumes being brought back into print. Within the pages of course every beloved character makes their first appearances — and possibly their end — including Billy Butcher, Homelander, Wee Hughie, Starlight, the fan-favorite Soldier-Boy played by Jensen Ackles, and countless others who have yet to make their debut on screen. Iconic stories like the controversial “Herogasm” and the final climactic showdown are included.
