The last Boys story begins with some very shady goings on in Moscow, as an old friend runs into some unexpected trouble. Butcher announces a promotion that doesn't please everybody, Annie makes a decision that horrifies Hughie- and in the aftermath of last issue's super-carnage, Vought-American begin the struggle for survival. Part one of the six-part The Bloody Doors Off.
This issue, other than the opening few pages, was a little bit on the slow side. Not much happening. Read Full Review
The Boys in this issue seem to be in a transitional phase, looking for something, even if it's just getting back to their normal lives. But, of course if they do that , due to a sabbatical, they are probably not particularly happy. But, such is the case for a cast of Garth Ennis characters. There is some gruesome violence, just like any Garth Ennis book, but of course each violent scene, had a purpose, or will serve a purpose down the road. You can get that feeling just by reading the issue. The dialogue and art are both amazing, and this issue really deserves a hat's off to it. Read Full Review
Garth Ennis seems to be angling The Boys to a conclusion that is fitting to the title's pedigree with each character and faction having some stake in the end game, be it Mother's Milk trying to maintain some resemblance of a normal life or Vought-American figuring out their next course of action to get the American public back on their side. As one of my favorite comics on the stands today, it's going to be a sad day when this series comes to an end, but that's a few months off, so in the meantimein-between timeenjoy the lunacy that is The Boys.

I give this issue a 7.5/10. It was well written and set a good tone for things to come. The writers are clearly building up to more next issue and I look forward to reading it. Read Full Review
