The Boys 4 *Spoilers*

[Mr. Palmer]

Quick synopsis:

Alongside Butcher, Hughie watches the Teenage Kix throw an orgy. Each member takes a turn with a whore, changing partners with a rapid fluidity. The effects on the women are pretty harsh, as one is seen inspecting herself with bloody fingers. Not to mention that the girls keep up-to-speed with the supes by using a *dum dum dum* blue fluid.

Meanwhile, amonst the Seven:

Starlight is asked to introduce herself, but stalls while A-Train makes a sexual joke towards her. This leads to him getting his ass whooped down by Homelander. There's also a big quandry over merchandising, as the Deep and Jack From Jupiter question the Big Three about their larger percentage.

Meanwhile, Mother's Milk and The Frenchman keep an eye on Teenage Kix. There's a bit of gay sex that humors Hughie, and leaves him wondering if the teams knows who screwing who.

This is where Butcher takes the initiative to inject Hughie with the *dum dum dum* blue fluid. Called Compound V, it's a drug which alters the users D.N.A. and gives them powers a'la the Supes. It's how the hookers were able to keep up in the orgy, and how The Boys are able to stand up against the Supes.

However, Hughie doesn't take kind to this. He rails off against Butcher, then stomps away; proclaiming he's going home to Glasgow...

Another fantastic issue! Haven't laughed so hard over a book since, well, #3!

Interesting to finally find out how the Boys are going to keep up against the Supes. The meeting of the Seven was cool, too. Have to admit I got a kick outta the Deep. And... and... the book was just great.

Hmm. Wonder where The Female was, though?

Highly recommended.

Hmm. Wonder where The Female was, though?

In keeping with the incredibly sophisticated tone of The Boys Number Four I will guess that she is missing because it is her time of the month and it makes her nice for five days.

Man! I can't believe how far off the rails this went from one issue to the next.

I love this series. My lcbso recommended this to me and fell in love with it ever since I read issue one. Every issue they always put something shocking and hilarous while other stuff just disgust. Who would have known Homelander would drop his pants to this chick and even more hero's did the same. Each hero seems to be........well freaks. Can't wait for issue 5. Wonder what Hughie's new powers will do.

I have heard very good things about this book. Are the first 3 issues tough finds or are they readily available?

Well at my comic shop thier easy to get and if you can't find them just ask the owner to order some issues for you.

haw , popclaws a cutter! and how cool is the deep , finally a bitchin fish guy.

[Jack Roberts]

I'm a big Garth & Derick fan, but for some reason I can't quite fathom, after issue 1 this series has fallen flat for me.

[Ryan Day]

I think this was probably my last issue, unless I find something extraordinary about #5 when I flip through it at the store.

We get it, Garth: The superheroes are really bad people. We got it after the first two issues, and I think it was far more effective when we weren't seeing all the horrible, over the top things they do. I even thought the last issue was pretty funny, but this one just takes the joke too far.

And really, nothing other than that has happened. Butcher is a badass, Hughie is uncertain, and the supers are jerks. Ennis is spending too much time on The Seven when they're not even the primary subject of the first storyline. This makes four issues of setting up and getting the team together; the only excuse for that would be to do some hardcore character development, but everyone is pretty one dimensional.

This turned to "Bad Ennis" disturbingly quickly. I'm pretty disappointed.

I'm having a great time with it. It's like The Pro, just extended.

Have their been any Marvelesque characters yet? Do you think there will be?

[Mr. Palmer]

It'd be interesting to see some Marvel characters, but I think he's going to keep on driving nails into the DC stalwarts.

And we need more of the Deep! As mentioned, it's great to see a cool aquatic character.

first issue had a guy with a big A on his forhead ( wich butcher( ? ) was stomping on .

[Grizsly]

Heh heh - the Teen Kix orgy was just disturbing. . .and the Momeland guy is just a pig.

Another funny issue, sure - but I do agree with some of you on this - the book needs some ACTION already!

Here's hoping five and six kick this one into some SERIOUS high gear. . .

[SKJAM!]

The one thing I actually found amusing in this issue was the look on the face of the prostitute whipping one of the Kix. It just spoke of intense boredom with the whole situation.

[JustinPJ]

Hmm. Wonder where The Female was, though?

I think we see her face in a window, doing some surveillance of her own.

Your local comic shop should have tons of Disney comics for sale. Enjoy!
