15 ISSUES!!! Garth Ennis' The Boys are back for their fourth "definitive" edition! Convinced that Hughie was never what he seemed, Butcher goes to see the Legend... and sets something terrible in motion for our little Scots pal in "The Innocents" (The Boys #39-47). And in "Highland Laddie" (the complete 6-issue mini-series), Hughie heads home to Scotland. 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 whether or not you should is another matter entirely.
