Or – “In Which A Difficult Question Is Finally Raised…”
For nearly three years now, the operatives known as The Boys have gone into battle against corrupt superhumans big and small, from Moscow to North Dakota and back, armed with only their wits and several black leather trenchcoats. In all this time, in the back of my mind, I wondered… The Female of the Species makes sense, as she is the only girl. The Frenchman is, well… French. Butcher uses his real surname. Wee Hughie is a little guy named Hughie. Why in the world do they call him Mother’s Milk?
Dynamite Entertainment sent Major Spoilers a sneak peek of The Boys: Herogasm #5, Army of Darkness #25, Robert E. Howard Presents: Thulsa Doom #2, Garth Ennis’ Battlefields Vol 3: The Tankies Trade Paperback, and Howard Chaykin’s Power & Glory Trade Paperback.
Or – “Most People Don’t Know That His Full Name Is Manuel Labór.”
So, I have completed my daily labors, overseeing the dozen fellers and gals what make up the current workgroup to call themselves Team RamRod (”See, you’re Arkot Ramathorn… Ram. And I’m Rodney Farva… Rod. Team RamRod!”) and I am preparing to have some spaghetti and hang out with friends, but first I wanted to catch up with some of the many titles that I’ve neglected over the busy last days of August…
RAPID-FIRE REVIEW TIME!

Or – “It’s Kind Of Ironic That They’re Called ‘Payback,’ Isn’t It?”
Because I have a strong suspicion that Butcher is about to remind them why their own name is a b!+<#…

Or – “How Can They Trump Last Issue’s Antics?”
So, what would be more over-the-top than last issue’s hijinks, including group sex, homoerotic trysts, and all manner of pruriency? How about some drugs to go with our sex and violence? Maybe even a government official in a compromising situation? Or how about the whole thing getting even more complicated than before, thanks to Vought-American interference?
Dynamite Entertainment provided Major Spoilers with sneak peeks of issues arriving this week. Take the jump for a look at Project Superpowers: Chapter Two #0, The Boys: Herogasm #2, Masquerade #4, and The Man with No Name #11.
Or – “And Then There Were Four…”
It’s easy to dismiss The Boys as nothing but “shock schlock,” sex and gore aimed at those of puerile mind who want a quick guffaw before heading off to the tractor pull or Kwik-E-Mart parking lot. But as easy as it is to look at this book as nothing but a series of vignettes featuring sex and death, it’s also overlooking some amazing character work, and real emotions from the writer, as well as some of the most expressive art in the comics industry… And when they’re really on, the team behind the Boys can give you moments of emotion that few other books can deliver.

Or – “OH, GNAAAAAAAAAAARRRRLY!!”
It’s so easy to blow up your problems, it’s so easy to play up your breakdown. It’s so easy to fly through a window, it’s so easy to fool with the sound. Life’s the same, I’m moving in stereo… Life’s the same, except for my shoes. Life’s the same, you’re shakin’ like tremolo. Life’s the same, it’s all inside you. Life’s the same, I’m moving in stereo… Life’s the same, except for my shoes. Life’s the same, you’re shakin’ like tremolo. Life’s the same, it’s all inside you!
