The Boys may have just completed its five-season run on Prime Video, but one of its creators is already jumping into a new superhero universe. According to reports, Darick Robertson, who co-created the original The Boys comic book with Garth Ennis, is set to write and co-produce Crestar and the Knight Stallion, a collaboration between creators in America and Saudi Arabia. Robertson, like Ennis, was an executive producer on The Boys TV series.
Created by Ajmal Zaheer Ahmad, Abdallah Jasim, and Najam Syed, Crestar and the Knight Stallion will focus on the partnership of two heroes: Crestar is a Batman-like vigilante who defends the city of Detroit from evil, while the Knight Stallion is Ali, a young man from Dearborn, Michigan who may be the world’s first true superhuman. The series will kick off with two graphic novels, Crestar and the Knight Stallion: The Legend Begins and Crestar and the Knight Stallion: Devil’s Night; both will be available starting on July 1. While the English-language editions will hit store shelves first, Arabic editions are due soon, as well. In addition to the graphic novels, the series’ creators also have plans for a live-action TV series, with creators Ahmad and Jasim playing Crestar and the Knight Stallion, respectively. Robertson penned the second graphic novel, Devil’s Night, and is working on future installments.

Your Hero Has Been Identified Your MCU Hero Is…
Based on your answers, the Marvel hero who matches your spirit, values, and instincts has been revealed.
Queens, New York
🕷️ Spider-Man
You carry the weight of the world on shoulders that are younger than they should have to be — funny, loyal, and endlessly self-sacrificing.
You do the right thing not because it’s easy, but because no one else will.
You understand that responsibility isn’t a burden you choose — it’s one that finds you.
Whether it’s a neighbourhood mugging or a multiverse crisis, you show up.
Peter Parker’s lesson — that great power demands great responsibility — isn’t a slogan to you. It’s the code you live by, even when it costs you everything.
Hell’s Kitchen, New York
😈 Daredevil
You fight in the shadows between law and chaos, guided by a fierce moral compass that refuses to let the guilty walk free.
You use every tool available — your mind, your body, your faith — to protect those the system overlooks.
You’ve looked into the darkness and chosen not to become it, though the line has never been easy.
Matt Murdock’s duality — champion in the courtroom, devil in the alley — mirrors your own.
Relentless, conflicted, and unwilling to stop. That is exactly you.
Stark Industries, Malibu
🤖 Iron Man
Brilliant, driven, and occasionally insufferable — but always the person who solves the unsolvable problem.
You lead with your mind and back it up with resources, innovation, and a stubbornness that borders on heroic.
You started out looking out for yourself, but somewhere along the way the world became your responsibility.
Tony Stark’s arc — from ego to sacrifice — is your arc too.
You build, you plan, and when the moment comes, you’re willing to give everything. Because in the end, you’re Iron Man.
New York City
💀 The Punisher
You’ve been through fire that would break most people — and it did change you, completely. What’s left is unyielding, relentless, and operating by a code forged in grief.
You don’t ask for forgiveness, and you don’t expect gratitude.
You see a corrupt, broken world and you’ve decided to do something about it, consequences be damned.
Frank Castle’s war is born from love twisted by loss — and so is yours.
Uncompromising and unflinching — the world may not agree with your methods, but your conviction is absolute.
Asgard · Protector of the Nine Realms
⚡ Thor
Powerful, proud, and on a lifelong journey to become worthy of the legend you carry.
You lead with strength but have learned — sometimes painfully — that true greatness comes from humility and growth.
You’re larger than life, yet more vulnerable than you let on.
Thor’s story is one of transformation: from arrogant prince to worthy king, from isolated warrior to beloved protector.
You bring the storm when it’s needed — and the warmth when it matters just as much.
Brooklyn, New York · The Avengers
🛡️ Captain America
You believe in something bigger than yourself — and you fight for it even when the world has moved on and nobody else will.
You don’t bully the small guy, and you never stop when it gets hard.
Steve Rogers didn’t become a hero when he got the serum — he was always one. So were you.
Your strength isn’t in your fists; it’s in your refusal to compromise what’s right, no matter the cost.
In a world full of people taking the easy road, you’re the one who picks up the shield and stands up — every single time.
Who Is Darick Robertson?
Robertson created his first comic book, Space Beaver, as a teenager. His talent was soon recognized by the major comics publishers, and he went on to draw books like Justice League Europe, New Warriors, and Nightman. While working on Ultraforce for Malibu Comics, Robertson was partnered with British writer Warren Ellis; the two would go on to create the acclaimed science fiction satire Transmetropolitan. After that series ended, he returned to Marvel, where he was partnered with Garth Ennis on a number of projects featuring the Punisher and Nick Fury. That partnership led to The Boys, an R-rated satirical look at superheroes. Robertson has since worked on a diverse array of titles, including Ballistic, Space Bastards, and Happy!; the latter title, co-created with Grant Morrison, was later adapted into a TV series with Christopher Meloni.
While the finale saw the end of Billy Butcher and Homelander, The Boys universe lives on in Vought Rising, a new prequel series set decades in the past. Robertson and Ennis will serve as executive producers on that series, as well, which will premiere on Prime Video in 2027.
The first two graphic novels in the Crestar universe will be released on July 1. Stay tuned to Collider for future updates.
