EPIC
A group of 5 criminals who are always rounded up whenever a big crime is committed (hence the title.) They ending working together to commit a few crimes together when they are tracked down by a man working for a notorious crime figure named Kaisar Soze (sorry if badly misspelled) who begins to blackmail then to do one last deadly job and they can have their lives back. This all leads to amazing dramatic ending. The movie is full of major twists and turns and if you blink you might miss a huge plot point.

This is a movie that can never and should never be remade because you can't recreate a masterpiece. The twist I never saw coming and there are few actors today who could even play Kaisar Soze. This is a must see movie for all crime lover alike and anyone who likes a mystery.

Superb twisted take on the superhero genre
I read these a few years ago, but following the recent superb TV series, I have decided to re-read them. Volume 1 brings together the first 6 issues of the comic.
This first volume gives an introduction to the boys, and their purpose, and the fact that the world is now full of twisted, power-hungry superheroes, who have corporate sponsorship.
Hughie is devastated when his girlfriend becomes collateral damage in a fight between supes, and is quickly invited into the boys to seek revenge.
Unlike the TV series, the boys don't go straight after The Seven, preferring a lower profile target to make their comeback known. They go after Teenage Kix, a group of young superheroes who engage in all manners of unsavoury antics behind closed doors. Through spying, blackmail and eventual violence, the boys take down this group and make their purpose known.
Brilliant artwork, fantastic dialogue and a real twisted, yet believable, storyline.
