Fantastic volume; probably more than half of this was backstory / reflection over previous decades, fleshing out the characters, though most of the Boys are down to cameos for this one.

Butcher finds out that Hughie is dating Annie/Starlight and hides the truth from Hughie. When Annie finds out that Hughie is part of the Boys, she is still in love with him. Hughie has second thoughts about being a part of the Boys. He goes back to Scotland to try to relax, and meets Mallory. Butcher's backstory is explained, and the details surrounding Becky Butcher's death is revealed. (Homelander rapes Becky, and she becomes pregnant. She dies instantly when the 3 month old baby with laser eyes cuts his way out of her stomach.) Queen Maeve is the spy who has placed hidden cameras inside the Seven's Tower so that the Boys can have 24/7 surveillance on the Seven. For fans of dark, anti-superhero graphic novels and The Boys television show on Amazon Prime.

A bit of a slow-down in the storytelling with this volume as we get a long peak at the origins of The Boys as a group, and another one that explains what makes Billy Butcher tick. I'm still really enjoying the story, but I do feel that the Butcher origin went on probably two issues longer than it needed to and I was starting to really look forward to getting through it - I love getting to know what made the man into what he is, but it could have been accomplished in a tighter manner for more impact, in my opinion. Kind of took the wind out of my sails as we move into the endgame of the series.
