Or – “Though This Might Technically Be Called Highland Laddie #6.5…”
In five years of world-building, Garth Ennis has carefully laid out a LOT of dominoes in intricate patterns around The Boys and their corporate antagonists at Vought-American. At this stage of the game, we’re really just waiting for someone to flick a finger and start the inevitable tumble.
Have you met Greg Mallory?
When you’re Loki, the Norse God of Tricks, life should be simple. A little mischief here, a little blood shed there, and off to grab some Mead, and a hearty wench, or three. But when a Red headed She-Devil with a sword, by the name Sonja shows up, and deposes you from your thrown. What’s a God to do?
This week, Dynamite Entertainment teases us with sneak peeks of The Boys #52, Bring the Thunder #3, Dean Koontz’ Frankenstein: Prodigal Son Volume 2 #4, and Red Sonja #55.

Or – “Butcher May Have A Heart After All…”
A Garth Ennis two-parter? Either I’m having a theme weekend or this was incredibly poor planning on my part. Either way, I have been a bit surprised at Billy Butcher’s response to recent events in his life, what with forgiving Wee Hughie his indiscretion and threatening to kill Director Rayner’s family out of what seemed like sheer bastardry. There are a few unseen wheels turning, though, and Butcher’s about to be put through even more changes…
Or – “A Garth Ennis Joint With A Name Like This? Oh, Yes, There Will Be Blood.”
I’ll say this for the work of Garth Ennis: I don’t always know where the story is going, and sometimes I don’t like where it ends up, but I generally trust that the ride will be worth the jolts. It’s sort of like stepping onto the Gravitron, while a carnie named Junior who you just KNOW is a meth addict eats half a corndog and drinks malt liquor out of a brown paper bag. Or as a wise young topless woman once told me: ‘A cheap thrill is still a thrill.’
Dynamite Entertainment sent Major Spoilers a sneak peek of Garth Ennis’ Jennifer Blood #1, The Boys #51, Vampirella #3, The Green Hornet: Year One #8, and Robert Jordan’s The Wheel of Time: The Eye of the World #8.
