This issue . . the Female gets he ass handed to her. Literally! Vought has decided to be a little more proactive in their handling of the Boys. So they've started hiring super-groups to go after them. They can't actually send the Seven right in after them. There is a treaty kind of thing after all. Anyways, Vought sends in the teams and then sits back and watches how the Boys handle them. I think they're trying to learn from their losses. Sooner or later they realize that in order to take them down, they really need to go after them separately. Which is where the Female makes her mistake. She's got some kind of tip about a 'super' going bad on a bar full of Italians. When she arrives she finds this German hero standing over all of their dead corpses. It turns out the whole thing was a ruse to draw the Female here alone. She gets a few good licks in, and actually pulls one of the guy's eyes out, but . . in the end he just overpowers her. After the eye thing, the guy freaks out and just completely pulverizes her head into the ground. At the end of the issue Frenchie arrives at the 'club-house' and they all immediately know that somethings wrong. Meanwhile Vought has also started working on the Seven's image. They want to upgrade their image and costumes. Part of which means that Starlight is going to end up more in the spotlight. Which means, it's only a matter of time before Butcher and Vought and everyone else realize what she and Hughie have been up to. And what's Hughie going to do when he realizes who she is? I think this story-line is an interesting direction that Garth Ennis is taking all of these characters in. This is part one of the Self-preservation Society. Carlos Ezquerra does the art for this one. I loved the cover. This book is constantly poking fun at the mainstream comics.
