REVIEW: The Boys Fifty-Four

Posted on by

Or – “Two Guys Talking Can Be As Tense As A Fistfight…”

One of the highlights of the early arcs of The Boys came when Wee Hughie sat down with the man known only as The Legend (any resemblance to comic figures past or present is probably intentional) for a history lesson about superhumans.  The last couple of issues have given us even more depth and world-building as Greg Mallory explains the events that led up to the formation of The Boys themselves…  It’s been a bloody story, but it ain’t over yet.

REVIEW: The Boys Fifty-Three

Or – “Maybe You Gave Grandpa The Keys, Right Before The Battle Of Verdun!”

Hughie’s “vacation” didn’t really clear his head, and it didn’t fix either his life or his relationship with Annie.  In fact, the only positive in the whole mess was his introduction to the former commanding officer of The Boys, Colonel Mallory, who has quite a few interesting bits of history to share with young Master Campbell…

REVIEW: The Boys Fifty-Two

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?

REVIEW: The Boys Fifty-One

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…

REVIEW: The Boys Fifty

Or – “Wherein The Hero Looks More And More Like A Villain…”

If you’ve been reading this title since the beginning, you’ll remember that it began soon after a dustup with the heroes of The Seven that somehow led to the death of the Lamplighter (a sorta-kinda Green Lantern type.)  Bits of information have led to us hearing more about the events that led up to that fateful confrontation, but The Boys are about to take us back in time to show the truth about how Butcher came to command…

REVIEW: The Boys Forty-Nine

Or – “What To Do While Hughie Is Away…”

The reveal of the truth between Hughie and Annie January (or, at the very least, Annie’s half of it) has sidelined a lot of the underlying drama of this book, but the superhumans known as the Seven are still complete bastids, and Billy Butcher and his team are still out to bring them down if they get out of line.  And those with long memories will recall that Annie took her place in the big time from another hero, a tragic schmuck called the Lamplighter.  His story is about to be told…

REVIEW: The Boys – Highland Laddie #4 (of 6)

Or – “Requiem For A Super-Trollop…”

There are a couple of schools of thought on The Boys at Stately Spoilers Manor these days.  Stephen likes to joke that this book is all about dirty sex, murder and dragging icons through the mud, and while there is merit to that argument, I still like to believe that there’s more than just Captain America wetting himself to recommend this one.  The sweet romance between Wee Hughie and Starlight has been a clear indication that neither side of the Supes vs. Boys conflict has a monopoly on scruples, and last issue ended with Starlight seeking out her former beau to try and patch up their sundered romance.  Will Hughie be able to see past his pride to the woman he says he loved, or are we in for more darkness and muck-draggin’?
