Only one with the main characters. Could have been a real episode with a side mission. Good one.
two for the price of one, nice
love that they fully adpated the comic and kieran culkin voices the drug dealer, i was looking for him
Just cool if you like the other show u like this :)
The Boys' original comic illustrator Darick Robertson created Hughie's look based on Simon Pegg's Spaced look. So finally it happened: Simon Pegg as Hughie.

[7.4/10] “I’m Your Pusher” is neat because it gives fans of The Boys on television a chance to see the vision of the property’s original creator. Candidly, I’ve heard from friends and acquaintances that the original comic isn’t great. But having watched three seasons of the show that spawned it, it’s interesting from an almost forensic perspective to see Garth Ennis get to realize his version of these characters in another medium.
It’s also interesting to see The Boys done up in a different art style. I don’t know if it will keep up, but what I’ve appreciated about Diabolical thus far is that it’s given us not only different writers’ takes on the materials, but given us different visual styles as well. I mainly know director Giancarlo Volpe from his work on Avatar: The Last Airbender, so seeing him helm a rendition of this show with a design and style not far removed from that aesthetic (with a touch of modern D.C. Universe animation) is pretty cool on its own!
That's most of what “I’m Your Pusher” has going for it. There’s a novelty to seeing the original interpretation of the characters, and the art and animation are cool. The premise, which features Butcher and company leaning on a dealer-to-the-stars for Supes to use one of Frenchie’s concoctions to take out a Supe named Great Wide Wonder, is mostly a vignette. There’s not much in the way of story or anything, but it’s a nice little introduction to Ennis’ view of this world.
There’s definite novelty in hearing the great Jason Isaacs voice Butcher, and Michael Cera as a Supe is good fun. Likewise, seeing an ersatz Martian Manhunter or the Simon Pegg-inspired version of Hughie is neat. The den of debauchery is something we’ve already seen in the main show, but it’s done with visual verve here. And watching Great Wide Way have the tweak to end all tweaks and burst through a giant iron Supe in the process is worth the price of admission.
Overall, this doesn’t necessarily leave me clamoring to consume more stories set in Ennis’ version of this universe, but it’s a neat opportunity to see the original take on the characters, and the big animation sequences elevate this one as well.
