Comic Books
Featuring an introduction by Lost creator Damon Lindelof!
It had to happen sooner or later: the supes get mad enough to go after the Boys. One of the world’s most powerful superteams decides to hit our heroes, all guns blazing, and the Female is the first to fall into their lethal trap. Meanwhile, Hughie is still plagued with doubt, and Annie finds herself on the receiving end of the worst new look ever- in THE SELF-PRESERVATION SOCIETY by Ennis and Carlos Ezquerra!
Plus, the Boys origins…
Issue #35/36: Origins time. In the first of the two part “Nothing Like It In The World”, Mother’s Milk tells Hughie the story of his life to date- his upbringing in Harlem, the secret of his massive strength, the catastrophe that struck his family, and the unforgettable boxing championship disaster that led him to join The Boys.
Issue #37: High in the French Pyrenees lies the little mountain village of Franglais, as quiet and peaceful a place as you could imagine… until her favorite son comes home. The Frenchman’s origin is finally revealed, in a pulse-bounding tale of seething passion, vile betrayal and classic Gallic melancholy. Who is Black Pierre? Why is the lovely Marie not there to welcome her beloved Frenchie home? And how can one croissant change everything?
Issue #38: The Female of the species is more deadly than the male, according to the poem- just how deadly is revealed in the secret origin of the Boys’ most mysterious member. The dawn of nuclear warfare, rumours of mutant Japanese monsters from the ocean, a subscription to Marie Claire – all this and more in “The Instant White Hot Wild”.

Love this series, can’t wait to read this next TP
here here
I thought this didn’t come out until May?!! Dammit, now I have to pay for this and the Superman Brainaic TPB I ordered last week!! Why do they always fuck up the schedules?!

it’s possible your sources are less than accurate
ah, well there’s your problem. Amazon is part of the bookstore market which always gets items later than Diamond sends them out to retailers.
That Herogasm trade was not very good. I hope this rights the ship.
@Sunnyvale- I stopped reading Herogasm after 1 issue. Seemed like a one-note joke that couldn’t hold a whole issue, let alone a whole arc!
This trade will be my first, as I’ve read the rest of the series in issues since #1, but dropped it when it got … way confusing. Hopefully reading a whole story in one chunk will make it easier to follow.
Fingers crossed.
there was some stuff in Herogasm that contributed to the whole overall story. certain things revealed about the history of this world. minor stuff I suppose, but still interesting.
Herogasm was okay but the ending totally sucked, if you can even call what that was an ending. I can’t wait to read this though.
@ABirdseyeView: The dude at my LCS also said that it didn’t come out until May and I’m pretty sure he gets his stuff from Diamond because all the brown boxes he takes his new comics outta every Wednesday say, "DIAMOND" in dark blue.
he was wrong, not much more to say about it than that
Maybe it got pushed up for some reason? Oh well, I’m buying it regardless. Just wish I had more time to read volumes 1 through 4 again.
Great book, answered a lot of questions I’ve had throughout the series.
