    • Check it out. It’s one of the best comics out there and much more interesting and intricate than that synopsis makes it sound. Also, they mispronounced Rucka
      .

  1. Well that didn’t tell me shit….. a lot of talking with very little actual information.
    I guess WatchMojo is more concerned with quantity over quality…. got to get out those 3 videos a day for the revenue stream, no matter what. Fuck whether it’s good or not, that has nothing to do with it.

    **UNSUB**

  2. I don’t know how I feel about “the boys” being adapted it was a great series but not sure how well it’ll translate. I mean I was jazzed when “wanted” got adapted then I watched it it was awful nothing like the comic. I hope “the boys” gets a better treatment

  3. I just started reading Luther Strode: The Complete Series and I can totally see that becoming a three part movie.
