It is, until it ain't. The last season of The Boys certainly didn't fill me with confidence. Characters made non-sensical choices that were pushing what was logical for their character and/or powers from previous seasons. The need to try to top some sexual gore fetish they have by raping Hughie was ridiculous and basically the final straw for that show, for me.

Close. Witchblade came out shortly after. Darkness was a character that originally started in Witchblade. You're pretty accurate, though. The difference is only 2-3 years tops. The original Gen 13 miniseries was only a few books, then it went on a delay until they started doing a monthly series. The monthly was around the time of Witchblade.

Yeah the only image comic I was hell bent on was Spawn. And then I guess Mark Sylvestri, if I'm remembering that right, started doing the witchblade and darkness stuff, and I think I've got maybe the first few years of each. Just remember seeing gen 13 on the racks, but never picked it up.
I don't know how many hours we used to spend in our little comic book store in Brenham, and it was literally just a little room, just picking up comics or playing MTG and BSing about school.
I stopped collecting when the man who ran the store passed away during my sophomore year of college, but I would always swing by when I was visiting my folks and still picking up my typical line up when he was alive.

Ok finished the first 3 episodes and each episode is worse than the pevious. I actually didn't mind season 1 but this season is not nearly as good.
I was kinda hyped because people were saying first 3 episodes are betting than The Boys but those people are dead fucking wrong

I'm sure the showrunners for Gen V are just as unapologetically "progressive" as the Boys' showrunner, but I imagine there's still some really annoyed studio executives about those shows that had seasons being worked on when woke was still the winning ticket and the wind's been turning really quickly so now it feels dated and out of touch. Once this transition (hah) phases passes, I wonder if we'll start seeing some big differences in TV show casting and overall virtue signaling, or regarding male to female nudity ratio.
I haven't begun to watch season 2 yet, may wait for a few more reviews around here, though I'll probably watch it anyway just as a link to the Boys' final season at the very least.
