I recently reviewed The Boys: Butcher, Baker, Candlestickmaker #6 for CBR and, in the process, wrote the following sentences: "Upon finishing The Boys: Butcher, Baker, Candlestickmaker #6, the conclusion to the mini-series spotlighting Butcher prior to The Boys, there was a feeling of emptiness, that the comic that I’d just read was a bit unnecessary. The fifth issue ended on such a strong point with Butcher earning his spot in Mallory’s group that this concluding issue is an exercise in tying up loose ends that aren’t really loose at all. It’s the issue that answers the minutiae of Butcher’s past and ends on a crude note when he finishes his little monologue to his father’s corpse. The series to this point was compelling, but this is a dull, uninteresting place to end."You can read the rest HERE!
