review 1: Päris hea. Esimene pool tegeles natsi-Saksa superkangelasega kes küll miskipärast kuulus Ameerika superkangelaste tiimi. Kiire kuid fataalse cameo tegi kommunistlik supersangar Armuvorst, hüüdega "Suck the Love Sausage, germanski pig!" saatel löödi supernats roundhouse-kick'iga kooma. Esimene pool oli väga vägivaldne aga samas väga lõbus.Teises pooles hakkasid kõik korraga Hughie'le oma lugusid pajatama. See tähendab, Mother's Milk, Frenchie ja Frenchie pajatas ka Female'i loo. Butcher jäi saladusse.Kogumik oli nagu öeldud hea, pole põhjust hinnet alla "5" panna.
review 2: The Self Preservation Society is a triumphant return to the level of storytelling found in "The Name of the Game" and "Good for the Soul" after the misfire that was "Herogasm"... more. Vought American decide to do something about The Boys and send their second best supes out to sort them out. Leading them is a Nazi superhero called Stormfront who takes out The Female and Mother's Milk leaving it up to Butcher to sort it out. A great character from earlier in the series shows up in the finale and it's suggested that there's something about Butcher's past that's of particular interest to Vought. And speaking of pasts, we get the origin stories of Mother's Milk, Frenchie, and The Female. Mother's Milk is the best one as it links the stories of Vought with the tragedy of the Brooklyn Bridge seen in "Good for the Soul" (this universe's version of the Twin Towers). Frenchie's story is great with Ennis throwing in every single French stereotype he can - Frenchie's dad, wearing a black and white striped shirt, a beret, and a string of onions, is killed by a croissant thrown by a villain saying "Hee Haw Hee Haw!". The Female's origin is also a great story that riffs on France's most famous cartoon Gaul and certainly underlines the "female is the strongest of the species" line used previously. The excellent Carlos Eszquerra contributes art to this book while Darick Robertson makes a welcome return after taking a break with Vol 5. Garth Ennis is as brilliant as always. The Boys are back and they've never been better. less
