I read The Boys and thought it was fantastic. Probably the best comic series I've ever read. I grabbed the first volume of Preacher as that seemed like a natural spot to go next. What else is up there with The Boys in terms of quality?

I'm glad I had some background so I knew what was being lampooned. It's really just the fact that the story was written explicitly for adults who had some idea of life outside the superhero genre, especially in regards to politics. That plus the relatively developed characters. FWIW, other comics that I had previously read that really stuck out as being something above the norm were Shadowman when it was done by Bob Hall? and Justice League America/Europe during the early 90s resurgence w/ Guy Gardner and Blue Beetle and all that. Oh, and the Peter David Hulk run was really good. Obviously, I picked up the TB after watching the show. I was curious what the source material would be like and was fairly blown away by just how hosed up it was in comparison, basically constantly. It's funny, nearly everything about the show, IMO, pales in comparison with the comic. I can't stand Butcher on the show but in the comic I liked him up until the finale storyline.
