    <![CDATA[In a world where costumed heroes soar through the sky and masked vigilantes prowl the night, someone's got to make sure the &quot;supes&quot; don't get out of line.  And someone will.  Billy Butcher, Wee Hughies, 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 dangerous 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.  This volume collects issues 15-22 of the Boys by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson.]]>
