\"\"The other day came word that Amazon was set to collaborate with \u201cPreacher\u201d executive producers Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg on a new TV series based on a comic.<\/p>\n

The story is set in a time where most of the world\u2019s superheroes are corrupted by their celebrity status and engage in reckless behavior that compromises the safety of the world.<\/p>\n

The action follows a CIA squad, known informally as \u2018the boys,\u2019 whose job is to keep watch on the proliferation of superheroes and, if necessary, eliminate some of them. The series ran for 72 issues from 2008-2012.<\/p>\n

The hour-long drama adaptation is being written by \u201cSupernatural\u201d creator Eric Kripke and is based on the comic title by \u201cPreacher\u201d creator Garth Ennis. Rogen and Goldberg are set to direct the pilot for the show which will be produced by Neal Mortiz and Sony Pictures TV.<\/p>\n
