The first of The Boys' two concluding stories is collected here, in "Over the Hill with the Swords of a Thousand Men". By now you should know that The Boys is one of Dynamite's most popular and critically acclaimed series, and that it's coming to an end very soon. Don't miss this 2nd-to-last collection, featuring issues #60-65, along with a complete cover art gallery by Darick Robertson.

OMG!  I knew this was going to be a nail biter and it didn't disappoint.  I started to question why the people were a few issues ago and my questions have been partially answered.  I don't want to give away the twists, but let's just say that not all is what it seems.  I am on pins and needles for the last volume of the series.  The carnage is undeniable in this volume.  Be forewarned.
