It's been 12 years since the events of the original The B🐽oys comic book series, and in that time much has changed. In this week's The Boys: Dear Beﷺcky #2, Hughie is visiting the graves of his late parents to reflect the past.
Dynamite Entertainment has shared a seven-page preview of this week's issue, wi🔜th the hero at the gravesite when he's interrupted by the local reverend, who has come to share 'the good word' as it were, with a bit of modern marketing lingo.
"As Hughie’s discoveries take him down a highly dangerous rabbit hole, what he learns about the good old days reveals a s෴trangely conflicted Butcher — at the worst possible time, as the Boys investigate a particularly insidious supe threat," reads the publisher's deꦺscription for the event.
As writer/co-creator Garth Ennis told Newsarama recently about this pꦐrequel/sequel, The Boys: Dear Becky follows Hughie as he "struggles with the trauma of his time with the Boys while trying to get his sh** together to marry Annie.
"He’s been sent a document which details Butcher’s time with the Boys in their first incarnation- around 1999/2000, when they were led by Gr🐷eg Mallory," Ennis continued. "And in those sequences, Butcher is himself remembering his time with his꧒ wife Becky, back in the mid-'80s."
For those who come to the original The Boys comics from the Amazon TV series, be prepared for a few spoilers. If you're okay with that, this is prime material to read ahead of the upcoming second sea🧔son which debuts Septem🌱ber 4.
The Boys: Dear Becky #2 is due out July 1. Check out this𝄹 s✃even-page preview:
