Well, no one ever thought a romance of opposites as stark and the wee lad and his superlassie was ever going to last. And sure enough…
In the Tv series, this gets addressed fairly early on. In the comics, somehow – inexplicably – it doesn’t until book 7. Whaaa…
How does a man whose job it is to observe and report on Superheroes not recognize that the woman he’s dating is one of the Supers from the most famous super team out there? I mean, she doesn’t wear a mask. Nothing like that. Is it the Clark Kent effect? But she doesn’t even wear glasses. WTF?
Anyway, so things come to blows. There are some other subplots, but that’s the main one. It’s pretty emotionally devastating for a comic as crass and as in your face as The Boys too. Book 7 comprises two storylines, done by two different artists once again. I preferred the second one. Like his faces much more. Plus, he does a terrific Terror.
Other than that, the usual fun was had. Turns out, stepping away from the comics for a while was the right move, made it fresher and more fun upon return. Recommended.
