The Boys Spinoff Gen V Reveals Comic-Con Plans

What is there to see at San Diego Comic-Con 2023? That’s the question that a lot of geeks are going to be asking this year. Thanks to the ongoing Writers’ Strike (and the possibility of an actors’ strike looming) a lot of studios are choosing to scrap their SDCC 2023 plans, in the fear that stipulations of the strike and union rules could make actually promoting projects near impossible.

Well, Amazon Studios is letting fans know that it still has plans for Comic-Con: namely debuting Gen V, the younger-themed spinoff to its hit series The Boys.
