A new teaser for Amazon’s The Boys gives a first look at The Seven, a major superhero team in the show’s universe. The teaser, which appeared at New York Comic Con, takes the form of a promotional ad for Vought International and shows The Seven in action. Based on the longrunning Dynamite Entertainment comic book series by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson, The Boystakes place in a world where superheroes are viewed as celebrities occasionally with dangerously reckless results. The CIA tasks a group of superpowered individuals known informally as “The Boys” to make ensure the heroes are kept in check. The team is overseen personally by Rayner, who eventually becomes the Director of the CIA. Co-developed for television by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, the adaptation was originally optioned by Cinemax before the premium cable network passed on the project. After Rogen and Goldberg’s success at developing the Ennis comic series Preacher for AMC, the adaptation was then ordered straight to series by Amazon. Rogen and Goldberg are expected to direct the series pilot episode. RELATED: The Boys Showrunners Say Series Wouldn’t Exist Without Preacher’s Success Based on the comic series of the same name by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson, The Boys is developed for television by Eric Kripke, Evan Goldberg, and Seth Rogen.

Looks interesting, really hope the don't tone it down too much I am wondering why A-train is now black??
you really have to ask that?? he uses the words "w@anker" and "to$$er" a lot (which is a very British thing ) also why is Wee Hughie now in the US?? he's supposed to be a scot
Nope, made the mistake of reading "The Number of the Beast", and then getting angry when reading bad things happening to people and not being able to do anything to help them One of the last books read (and not even able to finish it), was a fantasy book where a woman was forced to sleep with some arzehole to save her husband (or something), not exactly the 'r' word, more like 'forced coercion' where she did it 'willingly' butt only because sleeping with the arzehole was the lesser option Heck, there are some TV shows and movies will not watch if know ahead of time something bad like that will happen (and will stop watching if it happens when didn't know it was going to happen), other times will pretend (and cope with what happened) managed to save them 'off-camera' (and if not save the victim, then get to 'play' with the perpetrator after they are lead away)
fair enough still want to know why Wee Hughie's not a weegie in the TV show (race bending A-Train is fair enough because of Hollywoods need to have 'diversity' and stuff).
Oh right, a Glass-wedgie Nah, Glaswegian (heh, even the spell-wrecker knew that, still doesn't like a wedgie though)
Read the Omnibus #1 (Issues 1-14) and I enjoyed it but know it is not for everyone. There were some parts I laughed at pretty hard and other parts I was pretty much shocked how the events played out. The gore is heavy, even in the book so I am curious how far they will go with the series compared to the comic.
And from what I read in the omnibus that scene in the trailer is nowhere as graphic as other parts in the omnibus. Heck, it's even been changed from the book. Certain elements were kept but the shock value is still there. I don't want to state any of them though and spoil it for anyone wanting to read the books or possibly even watch the series.
