What if your childhood superhero turned out to be a corrupt, self-serving jerk?  Someone who saved lives — not for the truth and justice — but for fame and a paycheck?  In Evan Goldberg and Eric Kripke’s darkly twisted new tv series The Boys, the titular team of vigilantes take on the worst the super-”hero” world has to offer.  How do they do it? With good ol’ fashioned hard work and a willingness to fight dirty.

With only one week until its season premiere, RSVFX, is thrilled for fans to finally see the top- notch visual effects that we produced over the course of several episodes.

Until then, fans can learn more about what to expect  from The Boys Season 1 on Friday, July 19th at 3:30 p.m. PST at San Diego Comic-con. What secrets will the cast and crew divulge?  We’ll just have to wait and see!
