As an arc, as a collected group of issues, this isn't really great. It's a lot of mini arcs, some of which are better than others, but it's only in the actual "Big Ride" arc that we really move things forward in a meaningful way.
Being toward the end of the story (with three more trades to go), it seems like we'll get a race toward the end, but I'm not really sure entirely where this will end up.

Got really good towards the end of the volume, starting to see the end game begin.

Aunque saber sobre el Coronel fue interesante, el resto de la historia sigue arrastrando los pies, incluyendo a Butcher manipulando las cosas. Espero que todo se mueva en los siguientes capítulos. Muy triste que muriese precisamente ese personaje :(.

Homelander is nuts. Butcher is nuts. Everyone is nuts. Hughie meets the old boss and gets some more backstory (wow this world is screwed up) and is back into the game.
It's fascinating to see how deep the world building goes. I am really looking forward to seeing just how everything explodes. I'm sure it won't be long now.
Spoilers/pictures (*NSFW*):
So... Homelander is literally talking to himself, full on Gollum style now. That's not terrifying, not at all.
And... that dog. I love this scene.
So... how exactly are the Boys *not* superheroes in their own right. They're super strong and apparently have healing/extended life powers. They're supes too.
Who watches the watchmen and all that.
That's a pretty crazy bit of backstory. They tried out supes in the war... and it went as badly as expected.
Nukes and supes. That's ... about right.
And that... that right there is the Spiderman quote of the day.

This has been my least favorite of all the trades in this series so far. Although the last 7 pages or so of the book were superb. The last two issues in this saved this book from a lower rating.

The series is finally starting to pick up again, and not feel like the same never ending stuff. I was mostly meh about this volume, but there were parts that I enjoyed about it and the artwork was fun as usual. Mostly, the plot felt like it was finally getting to where it needs to be and where the boys need to be.
