In The Boys comics, Garth Ennis created Herogasm to satirize major annual Marvel and DC events, which brought together all of the publishers’ characters.
After a long wait from many fans of the boys who read the comics, the series Amazon Prime Video finally adapted the famous and iconic bow herogasm. Next Friday, the 24th, the sixth episode of the 3rd season will show the characters in this great event in the universe created by Garth Ennis.
After all, as in the comics? Initially, herogasm it wasn’t an arc in the official comic book releases, but it was a separately released miniseries, which took place in the same universe and the events impacted everything else.
Without further ado, let’s get to the story. annually in the boys, heroes – and even villains – announce how they will depart for space, in order to stop a great cosmic threat in space. However, in reality, they go to a tropical resort far from the rest of society “without superpowers,” in order to have a big orgy sponsored by the company that manages them, the Vought.
For an entire weekend, participants can do whatever they want, whether it’s legal or illegal – although most of them do it daily. For example, Soldier Boy have sex with homelander to enter us Seven, Bullet train witness a sex scene with the members who would be from the Fantastic Four in the boys, Black Noir attacks Hughie sexually with the thumb, &c.
But why Garth Ennis created the herogasm? With the boysthe comic artist made several satires of the superhero genre, and the arc was nothing more than a way to make fun of major publisher events, such as Civil war (gives Marvel) and Crisis on Infinite Earths (DC Comics), for example.
At the end of the famous arc, to “smooth out” things, a kind of Oscar for “superheroes,” with the most diverse categories, including Best team and best hero.

There was controversy in Herogasm
In addition to attracting criticism for bringing characters with figures similar to iconic heroes of the Marvel and A.D, the plot had the context of one of the greatest tragedies in humanity: the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 in the United States. In the boysyou Seven try to stop one of the planes, but the mission turns into disaster: the plane crashes into the Brooklyn Bridge and kills thousands of people.
How will it be in the series?
THE Rolling Stone Brazil had early access to all episodes of season 3 of the boys. We can’t give spoilers, but we advance that it’s intense, but not as much as the comics.
