Art is by Nate Van Dyke provides interior art, and Tom Yeates, Frank Miller, Arthur Adams, Paul Pope, and Bernie Wrightson will be providing variant covers.

BoysWatch: While the Clash Of The Titans writers talk about the screenplay to The Boys...

What we've come up with is something that is really, really faithful to the tone and the story of "The Boys," and… we're excited about it. This kind of take on superheroes is actually — despite the rough edges — much more accessible to people these days. It's much more understood by even the non-fans [of comic books], because you've got movies like "Iron Man" and "The Dark Knight" where you have characters who are so flawed and yet they're heroes. So now you understand the concept of questioning who these heroes are.

…it looks like Rob Cordry wants to be in it.
