Dynamite Entertainment is closing out July with their latest round of finalized solicitations and it’s a bit of a quiet week, which is to be expected after all the summer con craziness. They’ve got a nicely timed release of the third The Boys omnibus as the TV series just got underway and they’ve got a Sweet Valley High trade out just as a film enters development. Slide in some new Red Sonja as well and it’s a good release day tomorrow.
The Boys Omnibus Vol 3

cover: Darick Robertson
FC | 384 pages | $29.99 | Mature
Dynamite’s new compilation of Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson’s hit series The Boys continues with Volume 3, which includes both of the original volumes 5 & 6.
An evil so profound it threatens all mankind! The mightiest heroes on the planet uniting to defend us all! A secret crisis of such utter finality that a countdown to civil or infinite war seems unavoidable! But have you ever wondered what really happens during Crossovers? The Seven, Payback, Teenage Kix, Fantastico, and every other superhero on Earth team up for an annual event like no other – and where the superheroes go, can a certain “five complications and a dog” be far behind? But as the fun and games begin, it seems our heroes have set their sights on bigger game than usual.
You can only maim and murder so many superheroes before someone decides to do something about it, and in The Boys’ case that means Payback – a superteam of unimaginable power, second only to the mighty Seven. Pulping teenage supes is one thing, but how will our heroes fare against Soldier Boy, Mind-Droid, Swatto, the Crimson Countess, and the Nazi juggernaut known as Stormfront? Blood flies and bones shatter, as Butcher and company meet fire with fire.
