This show looks so good. I've been hyped to watch it since I saw the first saw the first trailer which rarely happens, it usually takes at least the first episode of something lol

Solid 8. There's some minor flaws that might detract; but, the story is pretty solid and it's an interesting take on what would happen if superheroes weren't the perfect individuals we were always led to believe and were instead human. It's a solid eight episodes, very few slow moments and I was disappointed there was only eight episodes.

I definitely thought it was hilarious, there was the whole sexual build up between the two of them as well.

I binged the whole stuff in a day. Loved the dark humor. I hope they have plans for a second season.

The Boys season 2 premiere is "way better than I ever could’ve hoped" according to producer Seth Rogen

Here’s why The Boys season 2 will be better than the first season

The hype for season 2 begins lol

Indeed, good man. I just discovered that the first omnibus for The Boys is available on Kindle Unlimited, which if you don't already have, can be acquired temporarily for free for a 30 day trial.

I'm kind of curious to see more of what happens and really want to read the comics to see what changes they've made. They supposedly weren't going to include the drug V in the show; but, it was the primary backstory during the entire first season. *shrugs*

I've already read the first six issues of the comic. The similarities are actually uncanny tbh, like a few certain parts (Butcher convincing Mother's Milk to rejoin the team as an example) were basically word for word lol

 

[bittersweet]

Oh, I've heard the same thing. Have far does the first six issues go? And do you think they're going to give the main protagonist the same things that he earned in the comics?

app they re-did the first volume or first few issues to be similar to the TV show though i would rather opt with the Definitive Editions though they are expensive its still nicer to read imo

 

[bittersweet]

Why do you say that?

 

[The Fool]

Why do you say that?

from what i've read and seen the first few issues did some changing to fall in line with the TV show and have re-released the series so TV watchers can pick up.

Though the reason i say the Definitive Editions are better as there's 5-6 of them each of them is 3 volumes long which are the ones re-released to go hand in hand with the TV show, the next part is more in line for comic book readers.

Say you read either Batman or Spiderman (since they are the most mainstream heroe's from DC + Marvel);

• Now would you read their issues on a weekly/bi-weekly/monthly/bi-monthly or limited series issues?
• Or would you read them in trade when there's 4-8 issues put into a trade paper back or if popular enough given the all holy Hardcover treatment? (so that would be at most up to 8 issues)
• Or would you go the OHC (Oversized Hard Cover) treatment of 16 issues?
• Or my preference Omnibus / Definitive Edition / Library Edition / Compendium format of the entire story put in 1 book so this can be as little as 10 issues to an entire run so 72 issues if not more.

This show currently has one of the most interesting themes and plots. How "superheroes" would be if they existed in real life. Instead of the righteous out of birth bs that we see most of the time.
