The Boys - An Amazon Prime adaptation of the Ennis comic series

[Gurney Halleck]

These Gen X guys - Ennis, Millar, got away with being huge assholes under the guise of being edgy and I'm glad ppl are reappraising. Grant Morrison is insane, Neil Gaiman and that Dresden doll chick are just more creepy aging goths, and Alan Moore is a blowhard but they at least like people, care about real art in their spare time, and wanted to connect with humanity in their stories.

Getting a bit off topic, but of all the edgy 'Superhero deconstruction' comics I always had a soft spot for Warren Ellis's Supergod solely because of the plot point that India builds an AI powered superhuman and gives it the mission to save India, and said superhuman promptly concludes the best way to do this is to eradicate 90% of the Indian population. Even better is that it's actually stated this would've worked out in the long run.
