This issue wraps up the storyline where the Legend is supposed to be filling in Wee-Hughie on the history and origin of the Boys. Really though, all he gets is the history and origin of Vought-American and the Seven. The Legend told him in the beginning that he had to know this background on the story before he could relate the information about the Boys. But I think the Legend purposefully left out the details. All Hughie really finds out is that his predecessor was Lieutenant-Colonel GD Mallory. And he's the man that started the Boys. However, him and Butcher aren't on speaking terms anymore, so . . . that's really all we know. Well that, and . . . their target has always been the Seven. But when all's said and done, this book is also a soap-opera . . of sorts. So there's still the relationship between Hughie and Annie going on. Neither of them knowing what the other does for a living. However, while watching surveillance tapes this issue, Butcher finally figures out the connection. This could prove to be interesting. The Female is pictured on this cover but, we still don't know that much about her yet. But, I think she is coming up in the next story-line. I think Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson are doing a fantastic job with this book. Like the Army @ Love book I did before this, it's filled with irony and sarcasm. It also has just the right amount of humor, but . . it's a dark twisted humor in this book. I think it's perfect. This is easily one of the best books on the shelves right now. Your really missing out if you're not reading it.
