A nice change of pace in some ways from what's come before in the series, with an 'honest' attempt to look at how not all the heroes could be truly that bad that's offset by 'the good guys' being too stupid to be bad.

Bullet Review:
Part 2 of "I can't read emails and now I need to finish ASAP to return overdue library books". I've been checking out library books since I was in first grade, and this is the first time I've ever kept books past due (2020 doesn't count).
Developments finally come to a head in this one, namely the big one involving Hughie's girlfriend and who is helping The Boys spy on The Seven. (Other developments I wish would get addressed still haven't, but I am hopeful they will soon.) I kinda want to smack Hughie senseless for his asinine response to all this, but we are all human I suppose, and Butcher certainly didn't help him make a good decision.
To be honest, one of the reasons I really liked this volume is that this volume moves beyond just "Superheroes are vile" and art of piss, gore, blood, vomit, boobs, and gobs and gobs of sex of all forms. I feel like this volume is building off the previous, and stuff is moving in a direction -Homelander starts branching out his plan, which is nice to see more of than just some evil villain cackling in the background, we're seeing more of the Vought-American guy, we know most of protagonist"s backstories now

Pretty good
Full with lack of trust, conflict and hatred for superheroes.

another volume where the main bad guy is introduced and then swiftly dealt with even the final issue. at least there’s some sort of setup for future plot.

Big improvement from Herogasm but still feels like it’s missing the charm of earlier volumes.

This was explosive. Superduper was one thing, but the whole shift in Butcher was painted really realistically. He obviously likes Hughie very much, but that can't be the only reason why he trusts him. But he is just unnecessarily cruel in his ways. Which in turn makes Hughie in a bigger asshole, but oh well, be never was the brightest candle on the cake.
