Butcher's plot continues...he's blown up frenchie and the female....this issue was tough to slog through...it's relatively slow but that's not why...it's because the end is seriously fucking NIGH.

Butcher also has a phone conversation with hughie and talks him through his plan to kill all the supes including hughie and butcher sort of a supe genocide. Of course Hughie also realizes what so many have known since day 1...it's all going to come down to Butcher and Hughie and that was always Butchers plan.

Great issue. I'm so excited to see how the series ends. I have a feeling Annie will show up in the last issue and help Hughie kill Butcher.

I don't know...I really still don't think this will have a happy ending like Preacher where jesse and tulip ride off in the sun together...I think Annie's death at butchers hands makes hughie stop him...but will it be too late at that moment?

I knew it was coming but still seeing Frenchie and the Female bite it was so darn tragic. This is so going to have a bad end I fully agree.

The romance between hugie and annie is also not nearly as strong and developed as Jesse and Tulip...ok new theory.

The final fight will be Hughie and Butcher killing each other with Hughie saving Annie and their unborn super baby in her belly.

Agreed that Hughie and Annie's romance wasn't as strong but I still think she will show up and save Hughie. Whatever happens though,it's going to great.

I should have seen it coming, last issue’s cover star died, so it makes sense that this issue’s would to, but when Frenchie uncovered that bomb… it still shocked me. And then BOOM! Both he and The Female are dead and it’s just unbelievable how quickly Ennis has turned Billy Butcher from a likeable anti-hero to one of my most hated figures in comics. This is a trick Ennis likes to do a lot actually, he slowly showed in Preacher that Cassidy wasn’t a loveable rogue, he was a very bad man, he even had the same perspective on Frank Castle by the end, but this may be the quickest and biggest turnaround, Butcher is just terrifyingly evil. He’s not even really evil, just driven. I really don’t know how Hughie is going to stop him, but I can’t wait to see it. I also can’t wait to re-read the whole series and look for clues as to Butcher’s overall megalomaniacal plan. There’s also more than just Butcher to wrap up here, there’s Annie, and also the Vought Pair, who have started sleeping together, Jesus, how creepy was that scene at the start, his expressionless face, even whilst in bed. 3 issues left, and only 2 Boys left, it’s a fight to the finish.

I might be missing something, or it may not have been revealed yet, but can anyone tell me what was with the frame near the end with frenchie standing next to the female naked holding a file? didn't get what that was about.

He was there when she was "created"/trained. It was sort of their beginning.
