The Chain, as an idea, is terrifyingly smart. Obviously to actually be a part of such a thing would be terrible, but the fact is, this organization worked for its purpose. There wasn't a whole lot of surprises or unexpected events; no gasping out loud or expressions of shock. Mostly, there was the feeling of anger, fear, and uncertainty. You can't read this and condemn Rachel for her choices - because what would you do?
That, perhaps, is the main purpose of this book. Love can make you do all kinds of things: stupid things, silly things, good things, and even bad - horrible - things. The Chain makes you think about your morals. And a book that makes you think twice about your own beliefs is worth the read.

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.
