I'm being told Hughie is supposed to look like Simon Pegg, but all I see is Karl Pilkington.

Might look like him in some pages but in the comics Simon Pegg Is credited because he gave permission for his appearance to be used

Is that why Simon Pegg plays the father? Cool.

Yeah, he was originally cast as Hughie, but the adaptation was stuck in development hell for so long that he aged out of the role.
164
oh wow I didn’t know that
21
yes!
35
That’s because the artist in those books is bad. I don’t know how they keep getting work.
113
Nowhere near as bad as Rob Liefeld. But that ain't saying much.
50
That big chested Captain America immediately popped into my head.
48
Oh god that was him
15
Had to Google that. How on earth did that get published? Not only does the chest look ridiculous, the perspective is all over the place and the face looks crazy.

Holy shit that line hooked me into reading this whole list, what a ride.

i think the coloring fucked the art up, Black and white panels looked sharp and clean
20
Oh it’s not just that panel. The artists style hurts my eyes. He just draws ugly.
36
yeah i know read it all, but i was surprised when i looked at colorless panels
5
I kind of get the sense that the coloring is built that way on purpose. It makes the heroes in brightly colored spandex look like they don't belong in the world of muted colors.
6
Yea lol. Starlight in the comic look different every other issue.
14
This is common in serials with multiple artists
2
At least others are easier to tell apart...Hughie (bald dude), butcher (black trench coat), MM (big dude), Frenchie (goggles), le femm (2 feet tall). Starlight just look like a complete different person with different hair colors lol
1
I like Darick's art but I feel like it needed to be more stylized or something....to me, satire book works better if art style is a bit wacky so that it really channels the energy of the craziness of writing.... like I looked at art from Herogasm and though they're not that bad, I wished Kevin O'Neill or whoever drew it to bring more of that manic satire energy. or maybe I just like those 2000AD artists too much lol.

I dont know much about comic books but I must say, i was reading "Herogasm" and some naked bodies were oddly shaped. I also would notice that character's face would change dramatically when he drew close-ups.
So it's a weird read. I do like that the comic and TV show are wildly different but IMO the show is so, so much better
4
It's not just the faces and anatomy, the paneling is really confusing, you can't even tell what is happening scene to scene when anything that isn't just people talking walls of text occurs.
2
The pencils and inks look okay but I don't know what's going on with the coloring.
2
Darrick Robertson? I actually really liked his art, I felt like he really captured the nastiness and grittiness of The Boys. I also loved Russ Braun’s work on it, especially with butcher.

Karl Pilkington DID say that his superhero persona would be Bullshit-man, with the power of calling out bullshit!
73
Alternatively he could be invisible so he could go to shops when they're shut
27
And then he would spend the whole night inside the shop, naked, waiting for the morning to arrive so he could be the first in line...
When you think about it, it's not a very smart way to use the power of invisibility.

Forget it, I don't want it

Both are handy survival skills when fighting Vought.

AVGN wants to know your location
4
Aw shit! He’s gonna take me back to the past!
I forgot he also had a show about Bullshit
4
TIL Hughie is creepy as fuck looking in the comics.
66
Not a great panel no
24
I just learned he’s Dennis quaid and Meg Ryan’s kid!

Is Hughie British in the comics?
17
He’s Scottish, yeah
47
Supes: Do We Need 'Em?
16
Something about the boys art style is so incredibly unappealing
15
The entire comic is unappealing. The art style is only a compliment to Garth's trademark exploitative and depressing narrative.
6
Because his head's so roooooouuund.

Warms the cockles of my heart to see KP fans here. At first I thought it was r/rickygervais
13
Hughie could eat a knob at night
10
Weird choice to make Hughie, the “innocent” little brother-type character, be bald with a goatee.
10
And with a Scottish accent too. I usually imagine Scots as rough and tough badasses more than innocent children
1
A always thought he looked like a thumb with a goatee
8
The comics animation is so gross looking
8
That’s not Karl Pilkington that’s an actor named Graham
5
Who the fuck is Clive Warren?
8
He must be great. I want a movie with him and Rebecca De Mornay!
4
Every character looks ugly as shit in the comics, god.
5
Is he older in the comics? He looks like 40 in that pic.
4
Mid late 20s ya, the bald head plus goatee makes him look quite a bit older
8
Sometimes I feel like the show writers think as if Simon Pegg actually plays Hughie.
Because there are some moments when I'm like, "Jack Quaid doesn't look as weak as everyone claims him to look."
Dude is tall and reasonably good looking.
Hell, he's taller than Anthony Starr.
I love the show, but I do feel like the writers forget that Jack Quaid is actually an attractive dude. Starlight's mother, for instance, was roasting the guy hard. It was kinda weird really.

Bullshit man in the seven

Can you imagine The Boys but Karl Pilkington as Hughie?
Head like a fucking orange.
He'd have to be Bullshit Man
takes temp V
Bullshit!
For our American friends; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1lRIQGU2RRk
*Blueshit
Temp V turns your shit blue as per comics

He'd roast the shit out of the supes while being extremely confused about his predicament
All while being bossed around by a bunch of guys that he works for.
Homelander why you having a go at me when your the one that’s sad and lonely.
followed by butcher just pissing himself laughing
Turns out, little monkey running Vought.
Butcher: PLAY A FUCKING RECORD
Hughie, don't talk shit all your life!
Supes; do we need em?
Bullshit Man!
