#72 - when is it coming out?

[Simon Rogerson]

I really don't know why Darrick wants to draw Hughie with a 'comfort' belly when he knows it will only make his drawing even sloooooooowwwweeerrrrrrr. there... I put a little emotion thing in to make it clear I am having a bit of a laugh. D'ya get me, company man? Are we on the level, Dynamite Guy?

Page 1 of 24: Yes! Final issue! I'm so excited I'm going to punctuate everything with an exclamation mark! Did a pigeon just shit on Hughie's sunglasses?

Page 2 of 24: No, it wasn't a pigeon at all! It was a supe! Ha, ha! Hughie emits an unwarranted sense of self-satisfaction and confidence despite the fact everyone he knows in this city that he inexplicably continues to live in is dead, mostly owing to his own ineptitude! Fat hamster!

Page 3 of 24: Ah, yes! I vaguely remember that promising arc about 9/11 that we read 4 or so years ago!

Page 4 of 24: Hughie uses his 'The Boys' Club Card which allows him unlimited access to any place at any time with no need for any further explanation whatsoever!

Page 5 of 24: Hughie somehow manages to avoid having the shit beaten out of him by some guys fitting a plaque and wearing fluorescent jackets! Hughie rolls his eyes at his own piss-poor attempt at creating a requiem for his teammates!

Page 6 of 24: Stillwell comes for a formal meeting with Hughie! Without bodyguards! On a park bench! About three metres from the recently reconstructed Brooklyn Bridge!

Page 7 of 24: Hughie talks! Stillwell talks a bit and looks like a disgruntled Jeremy Irons until Hughie gives him a baggie of drugs and he turns into Bambi!

Page 8 of 24: Hughie demands that Stillwell personally rebuild the Flatiron, brick by brick! Stillwell is stung by a bee off-panel which causes his face to swell dramatically! Justice is served! Corporations are bad!


Well, I look forward to reading the other two thirds of the final issue on Wednesday.

Just found this SPOILER HEAVY review. If it's real, of course. Which it has no reason not to be.

Sounds... dull. Incredibly dull. Ho-hum.

This is how "The Boys" ends
This is how "The Boys" ends
This is how "The Boys" ends

Not with a bang but a whimper

For all that it was and all that it wasn't...
The Deep's fate is revealed...
And I haven't stopped laughing.
