(issues 19-22): Wee Hughie sits down with The Legend to get the lowdown on the Boys and their enemies from the very beginning.

Meanwhile, Butcher and the others meet their sparring partners... and deep down in the bowels of their hovering headquarters, Annie and A-Train discover the Seven's darkest secret."

The Seven, Payback, Teenage Kix, Fantastico and every other supe on Earth team up for an annual event like no other... and where the supes go, can a certain 'five complications and a dog' be far behind?

Mind reeling from recent events in The Boys, Wee Hughie heads home to Auchterladle - the semi-idyllic Scottish seaside town where he grew up. All Hughie wants is some time to himself, to return to the bosom of family and friends, and get his head together after two years of unimaginable chaos. But our hero's luck has always been more cloud than silver lining, and the familiar surroundings he craves are not all they might be. You can go home again, but with old pals warped beyond recognition and strangers in town up to no good, whether or not you should is another matter entirely. Collecting issues #1-6 of the Highland Laddie series, along with a complete cover gallery. "

Don't miss this 2nd-to-last collection, featuring issues #60-65, along with a complete cover art gallery by Darick Robertson. 'The Boys is a book scary in its ability to amaze you on such varied levels. The violence is school yard fun while the conniving and plotting behind it all are extremely adult. The gags can be juvenile while the emotional character arcs tend to be more mature and heartbreaking. It seems that the more serious matters get in this book, the better the stories become. Right here, as we face down the end of it all, things are deadly serious and that bodes well for the content and quality to come in the coming months. Everything The Boys does well is showcased right here in one issue.' - Comic Book Resources 'The Boys #62 is an explosive and thrilling issue that really sets the scene for the story's highly anticipated climax.' - Newsarama 'If you've never read the misadventures of Ennis & Robertson's The Boys, now is the time to start picking up those trade paperback collections or the sweet hardcover collections that are also available. By the time you make your way through what's out there, the end will be just around the corner.' - The Comic Book Shoppe 'This issue did a great job pumping the reader up for the next (and one of the final) story arcs for The Boys. It was humorous, violent, and it's advanced us closer to the final epic showdown which seems more promising after each issue.' - Biff Bam Crash"

"The war is over and the world is saved. The supes have been beaten down so far they'll never get up again. So why would anyone want one hundred and eighteen metric tons of the only substance on earth that can kill them all stone dead? Bad days start coming thick and fast, as the Boys are caught in the last throes of the battle they were recruited to fight so long ago. Hughie, all on his own and out of luck, finds himself walking down one last bloody trail- and the truth he finds waiting for him at the end of it will be nothing short of shattering. Billy Butcher's vengeance comes full circle, in this twelfth and final entry in the story of The Boys. The Boys Vol. 12: The Bloody Doors Off TP contains issues #66-72 as well as a complete cover gallery!"
