Good news. Columbia Pictures have to rights to make a film adaptation of Garth Ennis & Darick Robertson's excellent comic - which from the start looked like a good candidate for a movie version. (in fact I was surprised DC dumped it, as I assume the WB would've kept film rights)

Since my comics buying purge, The Boys is the only title I've kept wanting to buy and read - so I am quite enthusiastic about seeing a film of it.

Simon Pegg likely has new role ready for him.

A couple of trailers dropped for this recently, which has followed the lead of approximately 97% of all books and gone the big-budget Amazon TV series route. I know very little about the comic and it pretty much just looks like Watchmen With A Pottymouth to me, but it's being adapted by the Preacher team of Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, which is enough to pique my interest. Have a look:

Superhero Saturation Level is about up to my chin... but since Amazon Prime is the only streaming service I have, I'll probably check this out.

those look like two trailers for two completely different shows. i get the first one is an in-jokey fake ad trailer, but still... i am not familiar with this property and have no idea what kind of show this is supposed to be.

but, it does have Shue-power, so that's something.
