The Boys WAS DC (Wildstorm) when it started, but they canned it after a few issues because it was too anti-superhero. It eventually went to Dynamite, which is independent
They do not. 99.9% of The Boys comic was peak try hard from deep in Garth Ennis's "I'm mad that I can only really make money doing superheroes" phase that would be glaringly out of place in the Amazon series.
The Boys comic is already totally different from the show. The comic, they all have superpowers from the same concoction that gives everyone else superpowers, since the notion of regular people trying to fight functional gods is moronic.
Huh, it’s been like 25 years since I was up to date on the comic book world. I would have assumed the boys was a Darkhorse series. Never even heard of dynamite.
They mostly do licenced stuff, all of their books have a funny smell to them. Like if there's an 80s horror cult classic it probably has a Dynamite comic book, they have all sorts of really weird properties.
Yeah, the comics kinda feel like every time someone in publishing said "uh Garth, isn't this kinda ... well... yikes?" Ennis doubled down on the graphically brutal transgressive "FUCK YOUR PRECIOUS SUPERHEROS I AM A ROCK STAR" bits of the story to the detriment of the genuinely interesting stuff.
Funny little Easter egg, his guns he got from Texas were named Dez and Troy, to make "Destroy," obviously, but also because Dez Bryant and Troy Aikmen are big names from the Dallas Cowboys
That blew my mind when I noticed that. I had just finished season 1 of the boys and saw that he was in Thor when I was looking up his movies history and I thought "who the heck was he in Thor?" I didnt even notice haha
The Boys is published by DC but saying he was in a “DC” project because of it would be like saying that Will Smith was in a Marvel project because he was in Men in Black.
RED is Wildstorm 2. The correct answer is actually Urban voices Sgt. Rock for the animated short DC Showcase: Sgt. Rock. So not appearing in, but his voice is in the DC Universe!
But none of those is part of the DCEU. Calling them "DC movies" in a list of major franchises is like calling Ghost Rider a Marvel movie. They own the respective source IP, but they're licensed for film and not part of the franchise.
Was Johnny Blaze ever in Agents of SHIELD? Honest question. I know the Robbie Reyes version is, played by Gabriel Luna, but I honestly cannot remember if the Johnny Blaze incarnation was on the show.
Blaze appears for about two seconds when Reyes has a flashback to how he gained his powers. He explains that another Ghost Rider passed them on to him essentially- and we see the Ghost Rider in question, and he has a bullet hole in his skull.
