The new regime takes power in Washington DC, forcing the Boys to go on the offensive and Hughie to reveal a long-kept secret. Meanwhile at Vought-American other secrets are revealed, as Frenchie and the Female do what they do best. Rayner ponders high treason, the Homelander sets loose the dogs of war, and Butcher gives Hughie an unexpected present- in part three of Over The Hill With The Swords Of A Thousand Men.
The Boys #62 is an explosive and thrilling issue that really sets the scene for the story's highly anticipated climax. Read Full Review
Wow did this issue have a lot of stuff going on in it. It seems that almost every plot thread that was hanging from the start of this title till now was addressed. Read Full Review
The Boys has long been a favorite of mine, and I have found that the quiet issues are often some of my favorites, as we learn more about the characters' internal realities, making their wild shenanigans and bloody lives seem less ridiculous. For the book that vowed to out-Preacher Preacher, Ennis has always imbued this title with deep character and bits of humanity that even ground lunatics like the Homelander somewhat. The problem comes in that as the series progresses, the heroes are proving to be as horrifying as the villains (although whatever last month's cover was about may put the lie to that) and I'm finding myself trusting Butcher less and less with each successive secret revealed. The Boys Sixty-Two is a good issue, though a bit conventional, but very successful in building the tension towards what I'm expecting to be a very bloody conclusion, earning 3.5 out of 5 stars overall.
