The battle is on as the all-new Spider, re-launched into the 21st century, takes on the murderous and beautiful Anput! A demonic gas turns ordinary citizens into mindless zombies, and the Spider must play a losing game against a ticking clock in a desperate attempt to save lives. But will the Spider's technology, allies and determination be enough against Anput's ruthless quest for revenge? The pulp tradition is back, with nonstop action, hard choices and devastating sacrifices.

She stalks the night, driving the forces of Chaos from the shadows and hunting them down like prey!

Featuring the return of several heroes and villains from the pages of PANTHA and VAMPIRELLA, "Dangerous Game" will be an important cornerstone for the future of Dynamite's epic Vampirella universe!

Space Explorer Squadron #686 has failed, and every secret once locked in the head of trillionaire industrialist Roswell Rabins is now in the hands of terrorist organizations all

As the Alliance races to minimize the damage, Commander Sven is forced to watch all of his greatest fears come true, and if his squad fails another operation, he'll be stripped of his command and his team disbanded. So with #686 on the trail of a homegrown terror cell planning something unimaginable, and victory only possible by the most impossible of circumstances, what hope do they have left? "Fearless Leader" rolls on, and the pressure continues to mount…

HERE WE ARE AFTER ALL THESE ****ING YEARS
In a world where costumed heroes soar through the sky and masked vigilantes prowl the night, someone's got to make sure the "supes" don't get out of line. And someone will. Billy Butcher, Wee Hughie, Mother's Milk, The Frenchman and The Female are The Boys: a CIA-backed team of very dangerous people, each one dedicated to the struggle against the most lethal force on Earth- superpower. Some superheroes have to be watched. Some have to be controlled. And some of them- sometimes- need to be taken out of the picture.

That's when you call in The Boys.

It's been a long time coming, but Billy Butcher's revenge on his wife's killer is about to be realized- if he can only get his hands on the bastard. The Boys prepare for one last terrible battle, as the Homelander finally bites the bullet and sets an army of superheroes against the forces of the United States military. Battle rages at the White House, Frenchie and the Female are unleashed, and Hughie faces his own terrors… while MM, patient to the last, races against time to uncover the greatest and most dreadful secret of Vought-American's superhero program. Butcher steps willingly into the jaws of death, alone and unafraid: but what he finds waiting for him is beyond even his darkest dreams.

This volume collects issues 60-65 of the hit series The Boys by Garth Ennis, Russ Braun, John McCrea, Keith Burns and Darick Robertson, and features all of the covers by Darick Robertson.
