Herogasm #6 - Dynamite Entertainment

At the end of last issue I thought the VP's detail had made the Boys. Which . . I guess they had, but . . it was also a ruse that Butcher and Agent Lucero had worked out the draw out the Red River boys. They're the mercs that had worked their way into the Secret Service detail. Lucero just wanted to do a good job . . to do the right thing for his country. And he wanted his job to mean something. The Red River guys had taken all of that away, and with his little encounter with the Boys he found a way to maybe correct that. Anyways, long story short, the Red River boys make a run for it, but in the end . . they go down. Hard. And has his final act, Lucero takes out Godrey . . who had really manipulated the whole thing. However, the one question we don't have answered is . . what was it that the Homelander was about to confess to last issue at the awards ceremony. We never did see or hear it. But the Homelander was so distraught afterwards that he ended up smashing the trophy that he had just won. I'm sure we'll see the repercussions of this sometime in the Boys in the near future. Anyways, another cool book by Garth Ennis and John McCrea. I'm not sure what the whole thing accomplished . . other than bringing down Godfrey, and opening up this mystery about the Homelander. But . . it was still an interesting and entertaining story. And . . it's already out in TPB form in case you're interested. They just don't waste any time with that anymore, do they?
