Get Some is a two-part graphic novel written by Garth Ennis and illustrated by Darick Robertson with Peter Snejbjerg that was published by Dynamite Entertainment as the second volume of the American comic book series The Boys, consisting of the four-part story arcs Get Some, released from May 30 to September 5, 2007, and Glorious Five Year Plan, released from October 17, 2007 to January 9, 2008, the former from which the novel takes its title.[4]
In Get Some, Wee Hughie and Billy Butcher investigate the mysterious death of a young gay man, as the Tek-Knight (a parody of Batman and Iron Man) struggles with the effects of brain tumour-induced paraphilia, while in Glorious Five Year Plan, the Boys travel to Russia to investigate reports of "exploding supes", uncovering a plan by crime boss Little Nina (working in conjunction with the Vought Guy) to induce a Soviet-backed supervillain coup of the Russian government, which Wee Hughie and supe ally Vas Vorishikin must face alone after the others are drugged. Preceded by Cherry, it is followed by Good for the Soul, with the events of Get Some loosely adapted to Gen V, with Derek Wilson portraying the Tek-Knight, who would reprise the role in the main series' fourth season.
The series has received a universally positive critical reception.[5][6][7]
