In her final moments, the wife reaches out to her husband, calling his name, rather than pleading for her own life. That these people truely loved each other made his deed all the more monstrous.

Imagine how chilling it was for that man. Being with his family starting to freeze from how high they were pleading with who you believe is a hero to bring you back down and the first thing he says is "it's all shit you know."

"It's all shit, you know." I read it in Anthony Starr's voice, and immediately I need this scene in the series.

Even though black noir drove him to insanity the things he did are still beyond redemption.

What I find creepy was his face. When killing that family he did not look angry or upset just bored. He committed the whole scene with a sense of ennui. Killing someone in a fit of superpowered rage is one thing but to casually take someone's life with the same amount of emotions as killing a character in a video game, that is something else.

Me: how is homelander gonna explain this to the press? Homelander: let's overthrow the world order! Me: oh, k, nevemind

"The only man in the sky is me." *HAS A CONFERENCE WITH FLOATING MEN AND WOMEN IN THE SKY A FEW SECONDS LATER*

The "The only man in the sky is me" line they used in the show is less deadly but far more effective

N this is why I'd choose omni man over homelander, omni man had his duty, he does not.

“The only man in the sky is me”. The line perfectly encapsulates so much of Homelander’s personality.

"Homelander kills a family" Do you know how little that narrows it down?

I think the scarier thing is the people all around him who just let it happen. Not one went to save the family.

What’s so chilling about this is that every other kill up until now has had a reason, no matter how trivial. This one is just “because he could”

Homelander's saying shit not even Stormfront said.

Wife: "Sir it's really cold you know!" Homelander: 🗿

It’s too grimdark. I mean you’re telling me not one of these guys had enough of a moral compass to try to help the family? Even in something like injustice which I think also try’s a bit too hard, people go against Superman time to time. They get killed but they often act knowing this but still going against him anyway. The world of the boys is so nihilistic and so against being anything remotely “comic booky” or specifically “marvel comic booky” that it often sabotages itself in order to continue its dark facade.

This makes Omni-Man’s brutal slaughter of him in death battle all the more satisfying.

It was basically the experience of someone being in a motorcycle with their friend, who is driving and suddenly starts talking about how shit life is, before directing the bike on to a tree and jumping out at the last minute

"The only man in the sky is me" He literaly thinks of himself as God

I don't get it - why didn't he have dinner with the family? He always could've landed them and had excuse to fly off and cotinue with his world new order plan. Was it symbolic? Like ritual life sacrifice before the great deed up ahead of him? For luck? Was he supersticious on other occasions?

This is kind of an analogy for when people meet their celeb heroes and have a horrific experience. Reality bites.

Why does some people want to deal with homelander instead of Omni man?

I forgot how much of a psychopath homelander was lol

“The only man in the sky is me.” *Cuts to several men in the sky*

glad they used the "only man in the sky is me" line in the show.

This makes his loss in Omni-Man VS. Homelander even sweeter.

I wonder if they made the oof noise when they hit the ground.

Homelander: Kills a Family Superman: Sees him Grimreaper: Already put Homelander on the List

The way he talks about evolution ape and religion Jesus caught me off guard it was pretty funny

If the comic panel made me feel like i have survivors guilt imagine what the show could pull off...like flight 37 made me feel so uneasy it almost felt real

This was the thing that stayed with me. This was fucking vile.

When u win something that has the name "Homelander" in it, it will never end well.

"The only man in the sky is me" next page is homelander in the sky surrounded by other flying people😂

Superman would kick his ass for that.

I feel like I need context as to why he killed a whole family, unless this is just another edgy "kill someone for the sake of making Homelander look bad" scene.

Triumphant Music playing as homelander murders a entire family got me dead 💀 😂.

that phrase "The only man in the sky is me" is the same he said in the show. So we're gonna see complete destruction in Season 4

This is when we tell superman to stops holding back against homelander

The recent episode must have referenced this panel. Homelander uses the same line "the only man in the sky is me" and forces someone to kill themselves

Homelander said the n word there 💀

" the only man in the sky is me " is far better used in the comics than in the show

“The only man in the sky is me” Nice to see they used this line, just in a different context. Still as screwed up though

This just gives me great depressions and makes me feel incredibly empty Can’t wait to see a live action version

So... not a single super tried to save the family? Why bother pretending to do it daily then. The world this comic depicts isn't likely. It's 110% nihilism with no real situational relief. Not a SINGLE "hero" helped? Out of ALL that were there?! If they already showed that much indifference they wouldn't have been fucking heros in the first place no?! Idk. Seems like this comic is just nihilism for the sake of it rather than building any real plot.

"imagine if superman popped out of nowhere and save the family haha....what a imagination I have"

He didn’t even need to kill them he just snapped for literally no reason. Is this the homelander we are gonna see in season 4?

I was in utterly shock when I saw this in the comics. This was one of the most disturbing thing I've ever read in a comic. The pure nonchalantness on his face when he does it. Jeez..

He reminds me of Macaulay Culkin from The Good Son. He's one sick pup.

If the goal was to make me appreciate superman more,mission successful. I used to feed into a lot of the typical shit talk about big blue. Not anymore.

in a comic series full of all kinds of cruelty and perversions this was the "scene", for lack of a better word, that disturbed me the most. first he tortures them with cold then just drops them with all the thought and emotion of tossing a gum wrapper on the ground. poor family. blood chilling stuff...

Didn’t expect homelander to say it hard r

"He just killed them because he could" That was the point of the scene. Homelander was off his leash and figured he was going to do what he wanted to do. Why are people confused about this?

How many other people immediately tried to imagine Superman or someone else saving the family? It's a terrible thing to see an innocent person beg for their life and that of their family.

I didn’t know how to search this scene I just tipe “Homelander kills a family” and that whats actually the title

Every other flying "hero" is just as guilty for letting it happen.

"The only man in the sky is me" Turns around to address all the other men and women in the sky.

Something that makes it even more disturbing is Homelander doesn't even seem particularly interested in the family when he kills them . He never raises his voice , he speaks to them with casual indifference ,like he was having a conversation with a friend about a service he thought was overated , only that friend is a complete stranger that he's sending hurling to his death . It makes it even more chilling for the family . There's no rescue , no words of assurance that they'll be okay , just " It's all shit you know", basically telling them they're lives and everything they've enjoyed have been worthless and all for nothing . To think that the very person they looked upto as a hero, turned out to be a heinous sociopath who revealed he couldn't care less about them before sending them to their deaths from high above . At that point you can only hope the family died from the cold atmosphere and lack of oxygen in the sky ,before plummeting to their deaths.

i thought the family was gonna be carried into all the way to space or some shit, which would be 100% much more horrible as the wreck and the disfigured bodies wouldn't even be found

Yo! Loved the issue-by-issue stuff for Invincible. Out of curiosity, is it possible for that with this comic too, or would that be way too much?

"The only man in the sky is me", this hits different in S3 of the boys.

I hope they do a live version of homelanders meeting with the other heroes. This show could go down as one of the best shows ever

Homelander just didn’t care anymore. In his mind, he was going to Hell one way or another, so why not just do whatever the fuck he wants?

Superman will be the shit out of him and will show him no mercy for killing a innocent family like that

More like another family lol

Comic Book Homelander is just senselessly evil for no reason, all part of Garth Ennis' gratuitously edgy and nihilistic vision. The shtick gets old quickly. TV Homelander is better-written and more nuanced by light years. He's evil but for conceivable reasons. The show is actually compelling fiction. Ennis' comics are just murder and torture porn.

"the only man in the sky is me"... He literally said that in season 3 on the boys

Homelander: *killing* The music: 🎻⚔️🤺🏴‍☠️

I cant take homelander serious with that face

"The only man in the sky is me" I think the line was handled better in the show, but this was definitely the darker situation

I like the scene with the girl jumping, though I think this would've been really damn good to see in the show.

They used the "man in the sky" line in the new episode! 🎉🎊

It's so frightening that see such a death like that.

man I forgot how dark the comics are

In the tv show they change this scene to a girl commiting suicide. Homelander even says “the only man in the sky is me”

I love the inspirational superhero music playing on top of this extremely nihilistic scene.

It makes me happy that Homelander is the type of character that can get his ass beaten by almost any fictional character with powers

Homelander: The only man in the sky is me Superheros that can fly: Are you sure about that Airplanes carrying hundreds of people thousands of feet in the sky: Are ypu sure about that. Astronauts in the space station: Are you sure about that.

My man’s said the gamer word.

“I’m the only man in the sky” cuts to him in the sky with like 100 other people.

That was beyond uncalled for. I knew homelander was insane but he never struck me as the "just because I can" type. More like the "my fee fees were hurt NOW EVERYBODY DIES!" type.

Ayo he said Ape WHAT 😳🤨

*tips fedora

“The only man in the sky is me” Literally everyone/everything that can fly: *are we a joke*

Homelander needs the Penance stare or atleast a run in with Kenshiro from Fist of the North Star.

Homelander has a cringelord redditor moment

The comic is an edgelord's fantasy that takes itself and the concept of hating supes too seriously to the point it's just ridiculous, while the series is a well-written dark comedy that knows how to parody the clichés of superheroes while still delivering some badass superhero genre moments of its own.

“The only man in the sky is me” cut to the next panel of him surrounded by many people, IN THE SKY

I want this scene in the show now. It would truly show that Homelander is beyond redemption and would make his death all the more satisfying.

Practically got this scene in the second episode of season 3. Right down to the “The Only Man In The Sky Is Me.”

"The only man in the sky is me" Proceeds to see a lot of other people in the sky

1:54 since ape what??!!😂😂

People in these comments are saying things like: "why didn't anyone else save the family?" But I'd like to Point out, good men don't make it far in the corporate world. The supes who would have saved them would have never been allowed to join the seven or even be around them.

Homelander just casually dropping the hard r

2:25 I’m sure there is no popularity contest for superheroes that gone rogue into becoming super serial killers

Anthony Starr did a masterful job playing Homelander, but he can never replicate the slap face Homelander has in the comics LOL

This is one of the few moments in the boy's comics where they actually have some dark tone without being overly sexual or gory

The family: 💀 Homelander: 🗿

Some of the supers were carrying ones who couldnt fly on the way up. Some of them still are in the group scene at the end, but others arent. They may have dropped some of their "less super" allies on the way too.

“The only man in the sky is me”

That was......cold. 😁
