We may be in sunny, breezy bright Summer still, but the books we'll be ordering are for deepest, darkest November… blimey, I'll be 39 then. Hmm. Anyway, here are some of the offerings Dynamite will be bringing us then… those touched by Garth Ennis' stain, and similar.

THE BOYS #60

The first of The Boys' two concluding stories begins with a bang, as Vought-American's plans for the White House are pre-empted in nothing short of spectacular style. Butcher prepares for war with the Homelander while MM finally loses it completely- in part 1 of the 6-part "Over the Hill with the Swords of a Thousand Men."

Jen's enemies get a little too close, Jack gets a little too crazy and it's all fun and games until someone loses an eye. How far is Jen really prepared to go to keep her revenge from wrecking her life, and what happens when the people she loves get in the way?

Also: Meet Nathan Lazarr. He can smell the fear in your face at the thought of his ultra warriors.
