I normally wouldn't do these 2 books together . . as this is one of my favorite titles out there, but . . I'm the one who took the vacation, so . . I'm the one that has to do the work to get caught back up. Besides, I love this book so much it'll be great to read 2 issues at the same time. 'Double your pleasure, Double your fun.' As they used to say.
Anyways, issue #27 is, ironically, all about St. Patrick's Day. Well, actually it's about Butcher coming to the decision that it's time to pull Hughie out of G-Wiz. He's been there long enough and he's going to start raising suspicions. Speaking of which, Hughie has a couple of questions of his own, for Butcher. "What'd you mean when you said we had access to
The Seven?" He can't figure out how they've would've gotten bugs on their base so he thinks they've got someone on the inside. He also wants to know about something the Legend said to him . . " . . wi'
The Seven . . . it wasn't really about management wi' them . . . it was more like they were the target." Also he told Hughie something about the Homelander . . " . . the Homelander was born. Not that shite about Landin' in a rocket . . a V-ed up foetus. Implanted in a woman. Killing her at birth." Of course he doesn't get any answers but, I think, it's got both of them thinking. This issue seemed to be more of a reflective issue. Then in issue #28, G-Wiz finds out from Godolkin that Hughie isn't actually a friend . . that he's a spy. He tasks it to them to take him out. However, Butcher and Mother's Milk suspect that something is up and send in Frenchie and the Female to help them out. You know what happens after that. I'm not sure if Voight knows that Hughie is with the Boys, but . . they do know they've got a mess on their hands, and that the G-Men and Gogolkin's whole organization is just a bomb waiting to explode. And it just so happens that Mother's Milk may have his hand on the fuse. He's accessed secret files and found out that the G-Men aren't actually orphans as is advertised, but rather children that have been abducted from their families over the years. I'm not sure what they're planning to do with all of this information yet, but . . . it doesn't look good. I love this book. Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson are doing a tremendous job here. The only problem is, sooner or later, we're going to start to see some copy-cats from some of the other companies. You know it's gonna happen. But I guess that'd just be a nod to how good this book actually is. The only problem with doing these 2 issue together is that now I'm just going to have to wait that much longer to get to issue #29. Bummer!

Meh. Meh, I say. I really doubt you'll see "copycat" books, considering that The Boys barely sells enough copies to keep itself afloat. Believe it or not, there's not quite the market for vile, hyper-violent comics that most kiddies seem to think there is. I'm marginally a fan of The Boys, but let's face it: The book really isn't that pleasant to read, unless you're a sociopath-in-training.
