These days superheroes seem to be the flavour of the month and the comic book movie and TV show genre bubble still hasn't burst as predicted by many naysayers, but not everyone feels the same way about the masked and caped superhumans.
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.
