the Boys #36 - Dynamite Entertainment

Ok . . I don't think there's been a week where I've bought this many Dynamite titles all at once. These guys are blowing up. It's just a testament to the quality of books they're putting out. I just hope they can keep it up. This issue finishes up the story of Mother's Milk. Butcher is afraid that Hughie is getting to the point where he's getting a little fed up. He thinks he may be thinking about jetting. So he asks Mother to talk to him and tell him his story. He thinks that if he gets to know his team-mates a little more intimately, it'll change his view of things . . give him a little focus. Last issue he talked about his child-hood. This issue he talks about his wife leaving and taking his daughter with him. That's not overly traumatic. That happens a lot. But, Butcher was the one that stepped up and used his government contacts to help him find his daughter and get her back. Also in the process of this tale, since they're standing on the Brooklyn Bridge, he expresses how he felt, and what happened the day that the terrorists struck. He relates that tale to Vought-American and their lack of concern over the average citizen. Next issue it looks like the Frenchman is going to step up and give us his tale. I really like this book. I think Garth Ennis does a fantastic job of expressing and making us feel the anguish and suffering that occurs through some of these tales. The scenes about the attack on the bridge were gripping. Thankfully Darick Robertson is back from his little hiatus and is handling the art once again. It just feels natural. And . . I have 1 more Dynamite book to read this week.
