This July Amazon Prime Video adapts The Boys, a television series set in a world where corrupt superheroes embrace the darker side of their massive fame and celebrity.
Based on the comics by writer Garth Ennis and co-created with artist Darick Robertson, the edgier show follows a group of vigilantes tasked with taking down these amoral super-powered beings.
These anti-hero series teaser billboards were snapped along La Brea Avenue and Highland Avenue from April 18 to April 22, 2019.
For even more recent comic book adaptations make sure you also check out these Happy! billboards, these Umbrella Academy billboards and these Preacher billboards, to name a few.
Who holds the world's most powerful superheroes to account when they can seemingly do whatever they want? The Boys, that's who.
This is not your usual superhero fare, so be warned.

UPDATED: Here's also two examples of the follow-up launch campaign for The Boys, which seems to have a deadly Banksy inspired theme.
These 'Never meet your heroes' billboards, hinting at the corrupt Superman and Wonder Woman-type superheroes in the series, were photographed along La Brea Avenue on July 10, 2019.
In the show Anthony Starr plays 'The Outlander' and Dominique McElligott plays 'Queen Maeve, Empress of the Otherworld', members of 'The Seven', a pastiche of DC Comics Justice League.
Just like real Banksy art, Daily Billboard is sure these won't be the last we see of The Seven filling the city skyline before the series debuts.

UPDATED: Ahead of its second season, here's a 'For for consideration' billboard for one of Amazon's most watched series, an homage to one of the comic book covers, snapped above San Vicente Boulevard on December 9, 2019.
UPDATED: Congratulations to The Boys for garnering an Emmy nomination for Sound Editing. This Emmy nominee billboard was spied along Olympic Boulevard on August 11, 2020.
