Simon Pegg has been announce as Wee Hugie's Fatherin this
The Boys is one of my favourite Ennis works (far more so than the gauche machismo of Preacher), and if they can get the tone right it could make great TV.
With you all the way there, TB. For all the sick humour and censor-baiting anti-PC sex and violence, The Boys has a far more sophisticated and engaging plot than Preacher does, and Wee Hughie, Butcher and the gang are much more likeable than Jesse (at least Butcher's macho-man bullyboy bastardy isn't presented as some kind of all-American, clean-cut, old-time heroism).
Really looking forward to this. Hopefully they'll keep it close to the comics.
EDIT - just looked at the teaser; looks absolutely perfect so far. Just hope Karl isn't too busy being Butcher to be Dredd too.
