The cover looks disgusting, but . . apparently that's the Homelander's secret. As a side-affect of his powers, when he gets exceptionally mad . . to the point where he's out of control and can't think straight . . I guess he likes to rip people apart and eat their organs. Who knew? Well . . apparently Butcher did because it appears that these were the pictures that were in the envelope that he gave the Homelander. Anyways, now that that's out . . the real story this issue is that after seeing Hughie and Annie last issue . . Butcher doesn't know if he can trust him anymore. Now that he knows he and Annie are a couple, he can't conceive of the notion that Hughie doesn't know who she is, Lamplighter from the Seven. So, his next logical conclusion is that Voight-American had planted Hughie inside of the Boys to bring them down. But he doesn't want to let on that he knows yet because Butcher likes to have plans within plans. He's thinking that somewhere along the line he may be able to use Hughie against Voight, so . . he's giving him a bunch of menial tasks right now to keep him busy . . and out of the rest of the Boys hair. However, Mother's Milk is paying attention to what's going on, and I think he's becoming a little concerned. But we don't know yet for which side of this misunderstanding. So, in the meantime, he's being sent to New Jersey to keep an eye on Super Duper. Boring! Plus, he and Annie's relationship seems to be moving along pretty nicely. He doesn't want to spend that much time away from her. As he's leaving, Annie is at the train-station to say goodbye. Butcher is in the shadows watching their every kiss and embrace. He's really becoming paranoid about this. But this is chapter one of the Innocents, so . . we don't know yet what's going to happen. I like that we get a little bit of a breather on this story-arc. It's toned down a bit from the last big one. But it's still the Boys. So you just know that there's going to be murder and mayhem. I like this book. I think that Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson are doing a great job poking fun at the 'super-hero' genre. The cover is a bit over the top, but . . it is what it is.
