    "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.
