(What really came as a shock is when I realized that the actor playing The Homelander in 'The Boys', that super-powered homicidal psycho, was Antony Starr from my all-time second favorite show, 'Banshee'.)
    I haven't seen "Banshee", however, his acting in "The Boys" is phenomenal.

    In the past (not even that long ago), they didn't like to talk about the fact that their movie was based on a comic. There are a number out there that would surprise a lot of people. Now, it has become a selling point. It's a Marvelous age for the comic geek.

    I don't know if 'Banshee' is available on any of the premium or streaming services, but it is well worth searching out. It is just flat out amazing from start to finish.

    That is true. Of course in some European countries, France in particular, the roman graphique has been a respected literary form for a very long time. There, as well as in Japan, comic books are everywhere and just keep getting more and more popular.

    How could we have left out the ladies? Zoe Saldana. Not only Gamora in the Guardians of the Galaxy movies, but Neytiri in Avatar and Lt. Uhura in the new Star Trek films.
