2. The Bloody Doors Off
(The Boys #66-71)
MAJOR EFFING SPOILERS.
I know this whole list is exclusively composed of spoilers, and I said I'd only do one of these. But I am discussing the final arc of the series and just acknowledging what it's about not only ruins its twists, it changes how you will read THE ENTIRE SERIES if you know how it ends going in. So, please skip if you want, no bad feelings.
Okay, so after executing Black Noir and the majority of the superhero population at the end of the previous arc, The Boys seem to have nothing left to do. Except Butcher. Butcher's war isn't over, and it won't be until every single superperson is dead. The second half of the series cements the idea that maybe Butcher isn't all that good a guy. And while Butcher, Baker, Candlestickmaker does a good job of putting off that realization, The Bloody Doors Off turns Butcher into a full-on villain. And it's painful.
It's a really great finale, showing what makes The Boys who they are, and why Hughie was never really one of them. It's about finding the difference between soldiers and monsters, and what happens when you've mistaken one for the other.
