Stan And Jack Via Macbeth And Banquo's Ghost In The Boys

Published Wed, 04 Jul 2012 07:43:49 -0500

There's a new issue of The Boys out today (preview at the bottom, along with other Dynamite titles out today). But here's a brief look at last month's issue of The Boys, featuring our ever loveable Stan Lee analogue berating someone who appears to be a Jack Kirby substitute, in the manner of Macbeth to the dead Banquo… thought it was worth enjoying again.

THE BOYS #68

Written by GARTH ENNIS

Cover by DARICK ROBERTSON
The next bad day: the Boys compare notes and find that all is very far from being as it should be. MM wants serious words with Butcher, Hughie gets Monkey exactly where he wants him, the Female has a revelation of her own- and news comes in of yet another fatality. Things continue unravelling fast, in part three of The Bloody Doors Off.
4 ISSUES TILL THE END!
