THE BOYS VOL. 6: THE SELF-PRESERVATION SOCIETY

It was bound to happen eventually: the supes get angry enough to target the Boys. One of the world’s most formidable superteams decides to attack our heroes with full force, and the Female is the first to fall into their deadly trap. Meanwhile, Hughie is still filled with uncertainty, and Annie ends up with the worst makeover ever in “THE SELF-PRESERVATION SOCIETY” by Ennis and Carlos Ezquerra!

Plus, the origins of the Boys…

Issue #35/36: It’s origin time. In the first part of “Nothing Like It In The World,” Mother’s Milk shares his life story with Hughie—his upbringing in Harlem, the secret behind his immense strength, the tragedy that struck his family, and the unforgettable boxing championship disaster that led him to join the Boys.

Issue #37: Nestled high in the French Pyrenees is the quiet village of Franglais, as serene a place as you could imagine… until its favorite son returns home. The Frenchman’s origin is finally revealed in a gripping tale of intense passion, vile betrayal, and classic French melancholy. Who is Black Pierre? Why isn’t the lovely Marie there to welcome her beloved Frenchie home? And how can one croissant change everything?

Issue #38: According to the poem, the female of the species is more deadly than the male—just how deadly is revealed in the secret origin of the Boys’ most enigmatic member. The dawn of nuclear warfare, rumors of mutant Japanese sea monsters, a subscription to Marie Claire—all this and more in “The Instant White Hot Wild.”
