Collects THE BOYS: HIGHLAND LADDIE 1-6!
Out of Dynamite Entertainment's critically acclaimed title, The Boys, comes a special story featuring everyone's favorite pint-sized Scotsman, Hughie, with The Boys: Highland Laddie, written by Garth Ennis, with covers by Darick Robertson and art by Herogasm artist John McCrea.
Mind reeling from recent events in The Boys, Wee Hughie heads home to Auchterladle - the semi-idyllic Scottish seaside town where he grew up. All Hughie wants is some time to himself, to return to the bosom of family and friends, and get his head together after two years of unimaginable chaos.
But our hero's luck has always been more cloud than silver lining, and the familiar surroundings he craves are not all they might be. You can go home again, but with old pals warped beyond recognition and strangers in town up to no good, whether or not you should is another matter entirely.

Story
I found this one a bit slow after the pretty solid pace of the last 3 volumes. I got a lot of the answers I was looking for after rushing to pick this one up, but this felt like more of a side story. I'm not sure but I think this may have been released that way.
This plus the end of the year really kind of stalled me out on my read of the series but I'm hoping to pick it back up again soon.
Artwork
I continue to enjoy the artwork of this series, it really adds to the story.
