In a world where costumed heroes soar through the sky and masked vigilantes prowl the night, someone’s got to make sure the “supes” don’t get out of line. And someone will.Billy Butcher, Wee Hughie, Mother's Milk, The Frenchman and The Female are The Boys: a CIA-backed team of very dangerous people, each one dedicated to the struggle against the most lethal force on Earth- superpower. Some superheroes have to be watched. Some have to be controlled. And some of them- sometimes- need to be taken out of the picture.
That's when you call in The Boys.
An evil so profound it threatens all mankind... the mightiest heroes on the planet uniting to defend us all... a secret crisis of such utter finality that a countdown to civil or infinite war seems unavoidable... but have you ever wondered what really happens during Crossovers?
The Seven, Payback, Teenage Kix, Fantastico and every other superhero on Earth team up for an annual event like no other--and where the supes go, can a certain "five complications and a dog" be far behind? But as the fun and games begin, it seems our heroes have set their sights on bigger game than usual. Secrets and blood are spilled in equal quantities, as the Vought-American corporation prepare to make their move--and the truth behind a great American tragedy is finally revealed.
For those left standing--and unscarred--the world of The Boys will never be the same again. This volume collects all six issues of the first-ever Boys spin-off miniseries by Garth Ennis and Hitman artist John McCrea, and features all of the covers by Boys artist and co-creator Darick Robertson!
