Boys #25
Hughie - or perhaps that should be "Bagpipe" - meets the original G-Men, and their mysterious benefactor John Godolkin. Secrets of the G-Mansion abound, including one that leaves our hero breathless. Frenchie and the Female begin surveillance as MM works the clues, and Butcher pursues answers from another source entirely. And in the background, unseen by either Boys or G-Men, shadowy forces prepare to make a move of their own... "We Gotta Go Now", part three!
Also, the series of alternate covers counting down to issue #30 continues, this time legendary Judge Dredd artist, Carlos Ezquerra (50%) joins regular cover artist Darick Robertson (50%)!

This book's weird for me. Some issues feel like repeats of others & some issues blow me away with their awesomeness. Hopefully this issue falls into the latter category!

@WadeWilson, I think this reads better in trades, I read the first two trades then switiched to issues and have been enjoying it much less, think I'll switch back to trades after this arc.

@bc108 -- I'll be switching to trades on a lot of books, so I'll probably take your advice & switch on this book. The stories can be kinda complicated & I usually have to go back & re-read the last issue before the new one, so trades might be the way to go.

This is supposed to be the defining arc for The Boys, considering the arc will end at issue #30. Halfway to the point of the series. So far I think this has been a good series but this arc had lacked, I hope it gets better as it goes on.

Probably my favorite comic involving Superheroes.
