Bullet Review:
Another entry in the gory, foul, definitely NOT PC (expect to see the f-word for gay people a lot) indie series about superheroes gone bad. This again is one of those entries where some people are just gonna want to skip over - this volume deals with homosexuality quite a bit and yes, some really cringy language is used (though I see that more a reflection of the characters themselves than the actual thoughts of the creators). I’d dare say the whole series will be this way soooo if this kinda stuff bugs ya, leave now.
Now that we have moved away from the “let’s get the gang together” volume, this volume starts to hit its stride; I enjoy that both plots are given enough issues to fully explore and they are rather complicated stories and plots that give us more depth into the characters and these awful superheroes that populate this world. Some of the plot threads from Volume 1 disappear here (such as Starlight) so I wonder if the teaser at the end of this volume means we'll get back to that soon.

The second comic book of the The Boys was a bit better than the first one but still far from good. I'm still hoping to catch a glimpse of the storytelling that I love so much in the show. And even though there are some beads of them in here there is still a lot of room upwards in regards to how to write convincing and engaging stories.

Decent read
The first arc is so stupid and ridiculous it's fun, the second arc was funny, brutal and overal more enjoyable then the first arc.

the plot is still veering on the edge of immature, but started to get better in the second arc of this volume. art has got noticeably better.

No me gustó tanto, la historia la encontré un poco extra pero me gusta que estén siendo un grupo más de espionaje e investigación. El final te deja atrapada para el siguiente volumen

It's great that Hughie came to the conclusion that he and Butcher were focusing too much on the aspect of homosexuality and not enough on what actually mattered—but the journey to get there was absolutely cringeworthy.
Aside from that, Tek-Knight's particular affliction was hilarious, and made this volume well worth the read.

An ever better edition to the series than Volume 1. New characters including Love Sausage make this, whilst the Boys stays true to form by being truly ridiculous (see man fucking meteorite).
