As you might have already surmised, not ALL of the superheroes in the world of make believe are out for our best interests and instead are 100% focused on their own. This latest Amazon Prime Video series called “The Boys” is based on the gripping comic book of the same name and the official trailer is down below for you to observe. Take a look.

Premise: The Boys takes place in “a world where superheroes embrace the darker side of their massive celebrity and fame” and “revolves around a group of vigilantes known informally as ‘The Boys,’ who set out to take down corrupt superheroes with no more than blue-collar grit and a willingness to fight dirty.”

The Cast and Characters:
Karl Urban as Billy Butcher
Elisabeth Shue as Madelyn Stillwell
Laz Alonso as Mother’s Milk
Jack Quaid as “Wee” Hughie Campbell
Karen Fukuhara as Female
Tomer Kapon as Frenchie
Erin Moriarty as Annie January / Starlight
Antony Starr as The Homelander
Dominique McElligott as Queen Maeve
Jessie Usher as A-Train
Chace Crawford as The Deep

Jennifer Esposito as CIA Agent Susan Raynor
Simon Pegg as Hughie’s father

PiercingMetal Thoughts: Truth be told I don’t know all that much about this property and despite really loving the creative mind of Garth Ennis (“Preacher”), I never managed to read this ultra violent comic series. I thought that the trailer held some promise so perhaps I will check and see if my local retailer has the collected editions on the shelves. As someone who doesn’t have Amazon Prime and will not be getting it any time soon, its my hope that said series makes its way to the other places to enjoy such things as time goes on. Since I am still waiting for that to happen with “The Tick” I should probably not get my hopes up too high. Closing up I wonder which of you Pop Culture fanatics are excited about this comic book coming to the live action small screen. You can chime in with that insight down in the comments section below. See you next time.
