Following the success of the inaugural Boondock Saints limited series, Volume Two of the "In Nomine Patris" saga follows Noah (Il Duce) and Louie, as their mission begins to make serious, bloody waves in New York's 1960s Underground Crime world. A horrible 'accidental' death in the neighborhood leads Noah to choose a particularly problematic target...and Louie's job as "planner" begins to change their relationship...but for better or worse?

What were Connor and Murphy up to between the original film and the sequel? For the first time ever, Troy Duffy reveals some of their past in Ireland during "the missing years", as a shared tale of tragedy brings back memories that are better off...left buried.

25 TO LIFE #2

Written by Eriq LaSalle and Doug Wagner, art and cover by Tony Shasteen, colors by JD Mettler.

F.B.I. Special Agent Gabriel Santana and his elite team continue to track the killer of multiple African-American police officers across Virginia. As the clues unfold, Pratt, the incarcerated militia leader who has been coerced into helping Santana, provides detailed insight into the Mountaineer Militia -- the group he led before his conviction, and the focus of the investigation. But is Pratt actually cooperating, or is he only manipulating the team and biding his time?

As Santana and Pratt continue their high-stakes chess game, more blood is left on the streets, and the clock continues to tick for the next victim.
