ok so the last volume that was a backstory sidestory was crap because we didn’t need one for hughie because he was the main character so the who,e series is his story. butcher actually needed a story because part of his character was having his motivations being in the dark, and now we finally see what they are. also this is probably the only issue without any immature toilet humour except for the very last scene because Ennis can’t help himself.

Better than some of the last few volumes and did enjoy seeing a bit more of Butcher’s history, particularly his relationship with his family, but still missing a lot of the magic of the first volume of the Boys.

It was nice to see more of Butcher, but the Falklands part really dragged. It's pretty sad to see what his life was like, and maybe one could even see it as a sexist the way Becca really was there just for a brutal character development or maybe even a inhibitor to Butchers "potential".
It just is incredibly sad to see how blinded Butcher is by his hate and how black and white the world became for him.

If you've never spent the weekend plowing through an entire series of comics, I highly recommend you give it a shot. It's a pretty great way to spend a weekend. Then again, I'm the posterboy for a bumper sticker (bumper boy?) that says "I'd rather be reading comics."

Better than its predecessor, perhaps the only one in the entire saga that does work as a prequel.
