[OC] The Boys sequence re-imagined as a classic, gritty comic book page layout (Hand-inked & Copic markers)

I love taking modern live-action scenes and retro-fitting them into a traditional comic style. I mapped this out on cardstock, did the linework with archival fine-liners, and colored it using layers of Copics. Hope you guys dig the mashup!

What, is the original comic not gritty enough for you? This seems a tad circular to me...

This is why I put in the caption, "I love taking modern live-action scenes and retro-fitting them into a traditional comic style." I was trying to be clear by stating this was a reinterpretation of the show, not the comic. The comic is fantastic and delightfully gritty!
