Critics Review
LIBRARY JOURNAL – Wee Hughie is a sweet, moralisticScotsman, desperately in love with his girlfriend. After she is killed during abattle between a careless superhero and his nemesis, Wee Hughie is recruited towork alongside the Boys, a CIA-backed squad tasked with keeping the world’ssuperpowered population under control. Soon Wee Hughie discovers that many ofthe greatest heroes are secretly vicious and depraved, driven to extremebehavior by their celebrity status and often protected by corporate interestsand political operatives who wield even more power than men and women capable ofbending steel with their bare hands. Author Ennis (Sara) and illustratorRobertson (Transmetropolitan: Book One) revel in graphic sex andviolence. And while their often juvenile sense of humor may keep some readers atbay, those willing to stick with the series will discover that the more extremeelements of the story juxtapose fascinatingly with a deeply moralistic, human,and even romantic point of view.VERDICTThis omnibus volume collects issues 1-15 of thecontinuing story line that inspired the highly anticipated upcoming Amazon Primestreaming series and should see high interest fromreaders.
