This is kind of an in-between issue. There's a lot of stuff going on here, as usual, but it's mostly just set-ups for future story-lines. But . . it's never boring. That's not what I'm saying. It's just . . bits and pieces of different things. There's still going to be some fall-out from that whole thing in Russia. The Boys interaction with this Vought-American is definitely not over. I can see some things really coming to a head with all of that. Hughie is in charge of another job, he has to take out the Blarney Cock. But isn't he already dead? Well, from what I understand the Compound V in their systems make it really easy to revive them. Their body anyways. The mind I guess is a different thing. So anyways, Butcher and Mister Legend want him taken out to send a message. And then Hughie wants to come back, cash in his favor from Mister Legend, and find out all he can about Butcher and the Boys. He feels like he only know about half of the story, so he wants to be filled in on the rest. And then there's the girl that went from the Young Americans to join the 7, Annie. She's really become disenfranchised with the whole thing since she's joined the 7. With the new group, it doesn't really feel like she's done anything. No super-heroing, no charity work . . . nothing. Except for some corporate sponsorships, and some political backing. But none of the work that she really got in to the whole game for. So she decides to go back and see her friends at the Young Americans . . and walks in on Drummer Boy and Holy Mary going at it. So basically she feels like the whole world has changed around her. She almost feels like God has abandoned her. She's really feeling lost. But at the end of the issue, her and Hughie end up sitting in the park together talking. Remember, Hughie doesn't know who she is. And, I'm sure, she has no idea what he does. But, they have talked a few times in the park. So I'm sure this is going to play in to future events. I'm just not sure how yet. But overall, I love this book. I love the irreverent look that it gives the super-hero genre. And I really think Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson are both genius'. This is easily one of the top five books out there right now.
