The Boys are back on track.  After suffering through this meandering story arc, issue 28 delivered the stuff that makes The Boys a good read.

For some time, infamous author Garth Ennis was off his game.  Ennis, who is known for his over the top story matter both in sex and violence, is now more focused on story rather than cheap shockers.  That doesn’t mean this is great, but getting better.

Hughie has been pulled out of his undercover assignment with G-Wiz.  However, he’s now invested in the new recruits he has bonded with and can’t leave just yet.  The story pieces of how these young men and women are recruited into the G-Wiz flock begin to take shape.  The confrontation between Hughie and G-Wiz comes to a fun boiling point.

For me, the novelty of The Boys is wearing off.  I want to see the direction it takes at the conclusion of this story.  I am at a crossroads with this book.  This issue gives me some hope, but I’m not sold yet.  I am willing to buy at least one more issue.
