In this issue the Boys are still watching over the proceeding at Herogasm, but . . it seems that the real purpose of this story is to show Vought-American's involvement in the government . . specifically, the White House. Last issue the Female captured Agent Lucero for the Boys, and they began interrogating him. This issue, they have Agent Lucero convinced that their from somewhere within the intelligence community, and their looking into Vic the VP's affairs. Somehow, this all revolves around 9/11, 2001 also. I thought that the Seven had taken down the plane of terrorists? But that's not how Agent Lucero describes it. Actually President Shaefer was all over it in the Situation Room. But . . he was supposed to be out of town . . Florida. He cancelled his trip at the last second. Vic, the VP, who seems to be under Vought's influence . . in not just flat out controlled by . . I think was supposed to handle the situation. Which would probably up his credibility. But since the President was in control, he had to play second fiddle. That is until somebody took a fire extinguisher upside the Presidents head. So anyways, now Vic is in position to assume the office . . which the guy from Vought has informed him will happen within the year . . and then he be elected to his own term, and "You'll implement policy initiated by us and us alone." So anyways, it looks like this whole thing is set up to show us just how much influence Vought-American has over the government. And obviously the Boys are here to do something about that. Which, afterwards will either make it harder for the Boys because they may lose their connection with the agency, or . . it may be easier because the Boys will put a stop to all of this . . or at least throw a serious wrench in Vought's plans . . making them the 'darlings' of the agency. Can you imagine Butcher being invited to prom? Anyways, this issue doesn't focus as much on the Herogasm part of the story, but rather on the covert government manipulation that is proceeding under the cover of all this hedonism. Overall I thought it was an ok book. But we didn't get to see much of the Boys this issue. Most of the time was spent explaining this government part of the story to us. As usual, this series is brought to us by Garth Ennis and John McCrea.
