Is The Boys not an adaptation? I’m not a viewer, but I could swear I’ve seen a comic version of it at my local bookstore.
Fair, I forgot about The Boys. That being said, it still has the issue of not following the source material very strictly, it's just that in this case it benefits from that. As far as "edginess" goes, the show is a dull butter knife and the comic is a freshly sharped sword.
