    Full of knowing references, but maybe not for everyone...
  

*by S***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 June 2012*

This was the first issue of the boys I saw in a book shop. As someone who grew up reading the comics of DC. Thomson, the cover alone was enough to make me laugh. I've worked my way through the series until I got to this one, and have found the road bumpy - some of the books are among the best graphic novels I've read - others come across as filler.I read this one with a huge smile. Like the Frenchman's back story, this is outlandish stereotype pushed to the absolute extreme. Hughie's dad bears a striking resemblance to the dad of 'Oor Wullie'. His mother appears to be an amalgam of Wullie's mum and Daphne from 'The Broons'. We even have a mad character breaking the fourth wall very much in the style of characters from 'The Beano' and 'The Dandy'.The only criticism I can offer it that Hughie's self-analysis gets a bit tiring. However, the story moves along, and we're left with a nice twist. Most likely, for people who don't have the background of Scottish children's comics, the references and gags will fly by unnoticed. For me, they were bang on target and provided a great background - very much in the style of trying to place the characters in 'The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen'.It's not perfect, but I enjoyed it so much I'd feel mean just giving it four stars.

    Wise up.
  

*by S***Y on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 January 2013*

Can't believe this book is getting the reviews it's got? Never heard of the calm before the storm?And I certainly can't believe the rubbish being said about the art? (Shaking my head) Yeah, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but to rubbish a great artist is pathetic. It's called style, it may not be to your liking, but you don't have to bad mouth it. Artists move on, get over it.Maybe you have to be Scottish to appreciate the patter in it, maybe you don't?I nearly never bought this because of the negativity of the reviews, thank god I ignored them. This is a good read and it's funny. So there's no big fights in it, so what, doesn't make it a bad book.If you like The Boys, buy it. If you can't handle the art or story, meh, your loss.

    Hugespotting in Scotland
  

*by K***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 September 2019*

This album is all about Hugh. We go to Scotland, get some serious trainspotting vibes, and English letter boxes that are slightly hard to understand but it kind of delivers the idea that the accents are thick and you would really need to breath Scotland to understand it. I don't how Scottish would take the story and the dialogue. To me it felt goodwilled, and the storyline itself was kind of uplifting compared to the previous albums in the series. The unique landscape drawn here really sets the tone.
