Good for the Soul (comic book)

For the episode named after this comic, see Good for the Soul (The Boys episode).

Good for the Soul is a two-part graphic novel written by Garth Ennis and illustrated by Darick Robertson with Matt Jacobs that was published by Dynamite Entertainment as the third volume of the American comic book series The Boys, consisting of the four-part story arcs Good for the Soul, released from February 6 to May 7, and I Tell You No Lie, G.I., released from June 4 to September 3 (all 2008), the former from which the novel takes its title.

Across the volume, Wee Hughie and Annie January begin dating after the latter loses her faith, while the former sits down with the Legend to get the lowdown on the Boys and their enemies from the very beginning, learning of the history of the Seven's creation, their attempt to prevent the September 11 attacks years prior, and the formation of their truce with the Boys. Preceded by Glorious Five Year Plan, it is followed by We Gotta Go Now, the events of the volume loosely adapted to the fourth episode of the first season of the television adaptation of The Boys.

The series has received a positive critical reception.
