His country has forgotten him. The world he loved is gone forever. Dan Dare, Pilot of the Future, has retired.
His beloved Space Fleet long-disbanded and his friends scattered to the winds, Dare lives far from home in self-imposed exile. But in the black depths of space, something ancient and terrible is stirring. A long-forgotten enemy is coming back, with an army of demonic beasts and a secret weapon that threatens
reality itself.
The Mekon of Mekonta has returned.
And if the beleaguered citizens of Earth are to survive… they’re going to need a hero.
Garth Ennis (The Boys) and Gary Erskine (Hypersonic) revisit the classic British comic character in an epic tale of courage and sacrifice, as old adversaries clash head-on and a battle is fought in the stars to decide the fate of billions.

The Legend, meanwhile, offers to tell Hughie everything he wants to know about The Boys- all Hughie has to do is take a walk with the dead.

The Boys, meanwhile, confront the Seven on the site of the superheroes‘ greatest failure. The worst secret of all is what really happened early one september morning, not so long ago in New York City…
