Invincible, Peacemaker, and The Boys.

So much gore. So much violence.

So much edge.

Harley Quinn too.

Not to mention that Peacemaker was the inspiration for the Comedian from Watchmen back in the 80's.

Invincible isn't edgy the same way The Boys is. It's just violent. But it has a theme of hope. Unlike The Boys

Yes I've read the comic book years before most did.

But the show from what I've seen absolutely ups the gore in comparison.

Nobody reads the actual comics.

Kind of like in the 90s-2000s. How many people who watched the shows and movies of comics read the comics back then?

The comic was already incredibly gory, so I don't think your argument tracks. The show may be more gory, but "more gory" compared to "already very gory" seems like a moot point.

The most edgy and violent and disturbing comic i know is called Crossed. I've never read it but read OF it. A virus infects people and turns them into amoral sadistic psychopaths. They do all kinds of depraved things to the uninfected. There was an Asian movie inspired by it. Thai I think maybe. Its on Shudder I think. I watched it a few months ago. Same idea. Infected turn into psychopaths. Its called The Sadness

But I think the comics are way more horrific than anything that a movie is allowed to show

Edgey has always existed. As others have pointed out, these series have been around for years. The only thing that's changed is the average consumers tastes. That's why they're popular NOW. Everyone got tired of the same old same old popular. This is the new popular despite not actually being new. That's how popularity works sometimes

Just look at Batman.
The 60s TV series reflected the comics, nobody killed anybody, Jokers crimes were things like stealing the worlds biggest playing cards.
The 70s went edgier because that sold. People died everywhere, and Joker was a mass murderer for lulz.

Think flash might the only mainstream. Hero that his villains still don't kill. Iirc he made a deal with his rogues gallery they don't kill and he won't kill them which he easily could

Well there is eobard.

Didn't know that don't really read much flash stuff.

Then again if flash went after him for that batsy would probably get all butt hurt cause it should be him to take him down for it since it involves one of his foster kids.

Didn't happen in a Flash comic; it happened in one of DC's crossover events, Identity Crisis.

Me either. I know he does have some kind of agreement with Captain Cold and a few others, but I don't really know too much about it. I just knew this one little tidbit.

On the contrary actually, Batman told Flash to reign Boomerang in or Batman would do it for him and they had a little argument about it.

Yup, I've read everything there is of Crossed and it's easily some of the most edgy and depraved shit ever put to paper. The Sadness gets away with implying or just stating its most heinous acts while showing relatively little. Crossed is just balls to the wall pure edge and it loves to show all of it in detail.
I pity the poor bastards that had to draw it.

I've read 3 of the Crossed stories, I think; the OG, the one where they're on a farm with some religious nuts or some shit, and one with an island/lighthouse I think

The original was a fun read, the rest are mid and trying way too hard, which is saying something considering how try hard the original was

Anyway nice flopic tc
