The Boys Omnibus
by Garth Ennis, Darick Robertson
Includes both volumes 7 & 8 of this acclaimed series in one volume.
So where are the real superheroes? The warriors for truth and justice, the defenders of the American way, the heroes who fight to make things right and ask for nothing in return? Hughie finds out when he meets the teenage adventurers known as SUPERDUPER... but unknown to the little Scotsman, Butcher has finally learned his secret. A dire scheme is set in motion, and at the vast superhero evangelist festival of BELIEVE, Hughie's relationship with Annie January - aka Starlight of the Seven - reaches its terrible conclusion.
A special story featuring everyone's favorite pint-sized Scotsman, Hughie.
Mind reeling from cataclysmic events in New York, 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. Old pals are warped beyond recognition, strangers in town are up to no good, and a figure from Hughie's recent past has come back to resolve some unfinished business. You can go home again - but whether or not you should is another matter entirely.

The Boys Omnibus Volume one
by Garth Ennis, Darick Robertson
"This is going to hurt. 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. A grim personal tragedy starts Hughie on the trail to what he hopes will be justice, but soon turns out to be something else altogether: a world of unimaginable depravity. His guide is the mysterious Billy Butcher, a man with an agenda of his own for this superhuman dystopia. Together with MM, Frenchie and the Female, they discover the secrets of Teenage Kix, the Tek-Knight, Swingwing and- most terrifying of all - Earth's mightiest heroes, the team of ultra-powerful supes known as The Seven. An international conspiracy of lethal proportions soon looms, as Hughie rapidly finds himself in over his head...with no way out."-- Back cover.

The Boys Omnibus Vol. 3
by Garth Ennis, Darick Robertson
Includes both volumes 5 & 6 of this acclaimed series in one volume.
An evil so profound it threatens all mankind! The mightiest heroes on the planet uniting to defend us all! A secret crisis of such utter finality that a countdown to civil or infinite war seems unavoidable! But have you ever wondered what really happens during Crossovers? The Seven, Payback, Teenage Kix, Fantastico, and every other superhero on Earth team up for an annual event like no other - and where the superheroes go, can a certain "five complications and a dog" be far behind? But as the fun and games begin, it seems our heroes have set their sights on bigger game than usual.
You can only maim and murder so many superheroes before someone decides to do something about it, and in The Boys' case that means Payback - a superteam of unimaginable power, second only to the mighty Seven. Pulping teenage supes is one thing, but how will our heroes fare against Soldier Boy, Mind-Droid, Swatto, the Crimson Countess, and the Nazi juggernaut known as Stormfront? Blood flies and bones shatter, as Butcher and company meet fire with fire.
