What a bizarre and crazy book. The Boys are trying to stop Little Nina. She's this Russian mob boss, who looks like she's about 10 years old. She controls about 80% of the Russian Mafia. She's in bed, figuratively, with this American Corporate guy. Their plan is to put Little Nina in a position of power in the Russian Government. She's called in a bunch of favors, and has about 150 Russian, and other European, supers holed away in this warehouse. She's been feeding them this stuff that affects their brainwaves and, with the right remote frequency, turns their brains in to bombs. Their plan is to let them loose on the Russian people, and then, when it looks like all is lost, Little Nina comes in, stops them, and looks like their Savior. But, she's also being set up. There's someone else they want to put in power, but they haven't figured out who it is yet. The stuff she's feeding them isn't going to work, and they're hoping that she'll also be killed in the process. Little Nina's boys make an attempt, again, to take out the boys. They've poisoned the Borscht that Vas is cooking for them. And then they come busting in to shoot whomever may be left alive. The problem is, the crap that Vas and Hughie have been drinking, has made them immune to the poison. So when they come in, Vas gets mad, and being a former super himself, makes short work of them. Vas and Hughie decide they have to go after Little Nina themselves. They can't wait any longer. So next issue, I guess, it's Hughie and the Love Sausage against the Russian mob. Shouldn't be any problem there. Huh? Oh, and by the way, when Vas puts on his old suit, which is now about 4 sizes to small . . . we begin to understand why he was called the Love Sausage. Eegghh! Anyways, fantastic book.
