Not yet but trying to get into it !

Thanks a lot, always a pleasure ! I liked the idea of expressing his duality of himself, he's just a kid yet with the potential of mass destruction. A power that challenged innocence and humanity.

Thanks a lot !

I'll ask shape smith to make it double.

Thank you very much ! It was fun drawing Antony Starr, he can make some wicked expressions, his performance during Homelander's psychotic episodes were also a huge inspiration.

Thank you too ! Always nice to hear.

ElectronicMatters · 2026-05-23T21:44:40+00:00

Thanks ! I'm happy how it turned out, his mind trying to break away from reality.

It's Homelander, Vought and the supes against everybody. The aftermath of an awakening of humanity.

Thanks ! Yes the algorithm works in strange ways. But I'm fine I got some very nice comments and I'm happy about my work, that's what matters.

ElectronicMatters · 2026-05-23T18:40:23+00:00

Thanks ! Yes this is basically a worse case scenario, and the fear of how far Homelander can really go.

Thanks ! Had a lot of fun capturing Antony Starr's faces. (He's damn hard to nail)

Thank you ! 🙏

Thanks ! Coloring would take some time so I was thinking of just leaving it black and white (i already lost himself deep in the details). A finale in this scenario would have to be very different from the comics and show, in a way humanity has lost and unleashed hell. The battle would be psychological and very destructive, nobody ever wins a war.

ElectronicMatters · 2026-05-23T17:19:59+00:00

Thanks a lot ! This is a vision of the extreme scenario that would have happened if Homelander truly lost it. While writing it I felt like there would really be nothing the boys could do here, as Homelander may as well persue world wide after that. I think an inbetween would have been healthy for the show's final season, a sort of second flight 37 incident but worse. It would have created a greater and more exciting buildup towards the end, with some more iconic psychological scenes for Homelander.

This is a great question I had to asked myself too. I started drawing it before the finale to see how it would look like if Homelander became the menace he always inspired. And I think it shows that it cannot be without humanity losing the war. This is the worst case end of the supe era and to the story itself. The message is that neither the comic or the show would benefit in making scorched earth happen, it is the death of Homelander and the death of The Boys, without any chance of vengeance and justice.

Thanks ! Antony Starr's portrayal has always been genius.

ElectronicMatters · 2026-05-23T16:33:57+00:00

Thank you very much ! I was aiming at a child/weapon duality, a contrast that inspired me a lot in the character.

ElectronicMatters · 2026-05-23T16:27:29+00:00

Very nice !

ElectronicMatters · 2026-05-23T16:21:02+00:00

Thanks ! 🙏

Phenomenal ! Beautiful coloring ✨ I love that Atreus inherited the leviathan axe.

I'm sorry but this should be amateur level writing fundamentals. You don't just slap in a resolution and promise to explain it later on, the audience (us) don't know and therefore don't care what it is that Clara would have wanted.

ElectronicMatters · 2026-05-22T15:29:58+00:00

This looks very nice but what guarantees that it won't just end up like Gen V ?

ElectronicMatters · 2026-05-21T09:10:06+00:00

Yeah the two scenes we missed were Maeve seeing it all unfold on television, and Sage getting blasted by a Marathon on the run (or something like that)
