- TriviaThe character of Hughie in the comics was based on Simon Pegg, but Pegg was too old to play the role in the live-action The Boys series and played Hughie's father instead. In Diabolical, Pegg finally gets to play the character that was based on him, and the look of the character is also based on the comic book version.

Featured review
This animated spin off from 'The Boys' features eight ten minute episodes, each of which tells a complete little story. The stories vary in style and tone but it is safe to say none are suitable for younger viewers thanks to the level of extremely gory violence and robust language. It is set in the same universe as 'The Boys' so it is likely to appeal most to people who have seen and enjoyed that... while many things can be enjoyed by new viewers it wastes no time re-introducing familiar characters.
Overall I really enjoyed this series, although it must be stated that some episodes were better than others. It started well with an episode featuring a scientist trying to save a baby that shoots lasers out of its eyes and ends on a real high with a story about Homelander's first mission. For me the weak point was the fifth episode; when 'South Park' had a talking poo twenty years ago it was childishly amusing but here it was just weak... at least it was only one episode and things improved again later. The animation is solid and the voice cast, which includes an impressive array of well-known actors does a fine job. As stated before it is pretty violent with lots of characters meeting a grisly end... if you've seen anime like 'Elfen Lied' you'll be familiar with such matter. This certainly won't be for everybody but if you enjoyed 'The Boys' then I'd certainly recommend this; if you don't enjoy it you won't be wasting too much time.
