We started out last issue with the CIA wanting to put together a team to police the "supers". Not to stop 'em or anything, but to hold them responsible for the messes and repercussions of their actions and fights. So they recruit Butcher, "possibly the single most dangerous individual ever encountered by this agency". This issue he's out handpicking his team. We start out where we left off last issue with him sitting on a bench with Hughie, who's girlfriend was killed last issue when a speedster ran right through her, literally, while they were holding each other. She was splattered on the wall, and he was left standing there holding her arms. We also meet Butcher's bulldog Terror. Who is, literally. We then move on to the Frenchman. He seems to be someone that's moved to violence very easily. And extremely too. We then see The Female (of the species). She seems to be very timid, except when she's moved to violence to right a transgression. Again, very extreme. Finally we have Mother's Milk. A very big guy, who's worked with Butcher in the past, but now is trying to raise his neice and do some community work to make up for his past. Now that we've met every one, they're all going to get together in NYC next issue to take a run at the Seven. Their planet's mightiest heroes. Should be interesting. Garth Ennis is writing this series, whom I assume you all know is brilliant. And Darrick Robertson is doing a bang up job at pencils. This series shows a lot of promise. It'll be interesting to see where they go from here.
