I think Saga is the best comic I’ve ever read. Im pretty far behind, I never caught up after their hiatus, but the story and characters are so rich and beautiful. I think an animated adaptation could be amazing, but like you said, they’d have to really love it the way the fans love it.
Global Frequency! And yes, I know there was a mid pilot that got made. I’ve seen it. But, it’s a perfect set up for having a small semi-permanent cast (Miranda Zero, Aleph) and then having great character actor guest stars rotate in and out with some that really hit being able to come back as needed. You got weird sci-fi, horror and conspiracy tropes easily built in. Think X-files meets Fringe meets Black Mirror.
Lord Baltimore as a show, kinda like Kung Fu or The Incredible Hulk. He wanders from town to town killing vampires and monsters trying to get to the Red King
Considering every non limited comic book TV series ends up padding with soap opera stuff I'm amazed no one ever optioned Noble Causes and made a straight up supe soap where the heroics were secondary anyway.
Scud the Disposable Assassin. Admittedly, it's a bit of a narrative mess (hence, the really long hiatus), but it's a great concept. Since Rob Schrab has the experience of writing Monster House and writing and directing on Community, there's no reason that he shouldn't be able to shape it into something worth watching.
I'm amazed that Turok has barely been adapted, aside from video games and an animated movie that was barely noticed. Dinosaur-mania isn't going anywhere anytime soon, so it seems pretty natural for Turok to get a big budget theatrical movie trilogy, at the very least.
Another that I could see working well is Solar: Man of the Atom, with one movie being inspired by the classic Gold Key comics as a basic retro take, and a sequel adapting the nineties Valiant run, with its more meta, nuanced take.
A Dystopian future where governments have fallen and the Uber rich have taken over. They keep themselves alive with various tech and anyone living outside their walled cities are considered "waste" left to fend for themselves.
The elites have their domains and battle eachother Game of Thrones style.
Kind of on the nose for today current events. Would be a great series i think. The world building Rucka does is amazing.
What if Wendy Darling (from Peter Pan), Alice Liddel (from Alice in Wonderland) and Dorothy Gale (from The Oz Series) were brought together by a researcher who believed that their experiences were real, and then they accidentally crossed into each others' "fantasy" worlds? That's what this story is about.
Cowboy Ninja Viking! They had a movie set a while ago with Chris Pratt attached but I would love it if they went back with a great story and director. For TV...I would say Rom or the Micronauts....or both are good 😊
The Savage Dragon. Freak Force. Youngblood. Cyber Force. Shadowhawk. Wett Works. Pitt. Sam And Twitch, Spawn( I know that it already had a movie in 1997 but there needs to be a Spawn reboot). Medieval Spawn. The Mighty Crusaders. The Grim Ghost. E-Man.
Supreme. Lady Supreme. Kid Supreme. Witchblade. The Maxx. Glory. Prophet. Bone. The 9 Rings Of Wu Tang. Sojourn. Ghost(from Dark Horse Comics). The End League. Will To Power. Robocop Vs Terminator. Saga( but some people think that it's unfilmable). Usagi Yojimbo. Bucky O' Hare. Battletoads. Mandrake The Magician. Lion-Man. The Magician From Mars. The Clock(from Cracked Comics). Cerebus. Elfquest. The Trill League. Hell-Rider. Butterfly. Lobo( from Dell Comics). Cowboy Ninja Viking. Death Dealer. Kona. Shirl The Jungle Girl. Crom The Barbarian. Hercules( the Dell Comics adaptation OF the 1958 Steve Reeves Hercules movie-so I think that it should be remade). Vaklyrie( from the Airfighters Comics). Shark(from The Amazing Man comics). Venture. Phantom Force. Xenozoic Tales( Cadillacs And Dinosaurs). Turok The Dinosaur Hunter. Astro City. Irredeemable. American Flagg.
You have every right to say but that's such a ridiculous thing to say. You're free to go right ahead and name the all of the same characters( or more) that I named. I'm not stopping anyone else from naming any of the same characters,
Maybe I'm different because my brain doesn't work that way. If I saw someone make a comment like mine(and I have), I wouldn't say ''leave some for the rest of us'', I would just name the same characters and more.
that would be cool. I've liked what I seen of the Witchblade Anime. the first 14 episodes. I watched them on Sling. the first 10 episodes I recorded, and the last 4. I watched live TV. the relationship between Madame and her adopted daughter Rihoko is what sells it. that's the hook in my opinion. which I'm sure the comics didn't even have. that's what intrigue me about it. that it was based on a American comic book.
Still waiting for a proper live action Spawn series
Best we can do is McFarlane announcing another false start on a film production.
Animated hbo series is still great.
I’ll stick with Matt Wagner for both answers: Grendel for a movie and Mage for a tv series.
I hate that Netflix filmed half a season of Grendel, then shut it down forever.
SAGA by Brian K. Vaughn
I’m torn, because I’d rather it never happen than get a bad version
I think if it was animated , with great talent behind it who love the material then it would be awesome. Invincible has cracked the code IMO.
I think Saga is the best comic I’ve ever read. Im pretty far behind, I never caught up after their hiatus, but the story and characters are so rich and beautiful. I think an animated adaptation could be amazing, but like you said, they’d have to really love it the way the fans love it.
Invincible is voice acted with great talent. Its animated with medium to bad talent.
If it was done by the folks who did season 1 of Arcane I think it would be incredible
I would love an anime-style show like Invincible, but BKV adaptations seem cursed to getting one season and then canceled.
Bone by Jeff Smith
Completely agree on this. I would love to see this as an animated series
Saga
I want a live-action Milk & Cheese.
We hate what you hate
And we hate you
I haven't thought about the wedge of spite in years.
I think there has been enough time since Once Upon a Time that a Fables adult animated series could be viable.
Blacksad would be cool to see if it was given the budget to be as visually rich as the comic
I feel like I’m blanking on a bunch of others I’d be interested in seeing
Harbinger for sure, either movie or TV series.
Chew definitely needs a tv series
Yessss. (Check my username.)
Something is Killing the Children
Spawn
Popeye the sailor
Astro City as an animated tv series would be great.
Luther Strode
Sin City, as a noir show
Hellboy and Judge Dredd
Both would work really well as TV series
Personally I would prefer movies but TV series works as well.
Lazarus by Rucka and Lark.
DIE, it's D&D meets Jumanji meets IT
Groo the Wanderer
A series of Top 10 by Alan Moore would be huge
The Maxx. Savage Dragon. The Darkness. Fathom.
GrimJack
THE GOON
I liked Jupiter's Legacy and am pissed Netflix canned it after the first season.
TV series: I have 2
The Goon
Astro City
Both have well fleshed out worlds that could be plumbed for several seasons.
Movie: Blood of the Innocent How could Jack the Ripper meets Dracula go wrong?
del Toro and Perlman's Hellboy 3.
Perlman is too old now, he's 75.
Elfquest as an adult animated TV series on HBO
Man I would LOVE elf quest series
Right? I remember looking up who owned the IP. I think they were bought by Marvel and so now owned by Disney. They gonna stay buried forever.
But it would be an amazing rival to HBO's Harley and Ivy
It’s fallen in and out development a few times and I doubt there’s enough of an audience to justify it but I’d like to see Chew.
Ex Machina
Button Man
Fell
Private Eye
Rat Queens
Ninja Turtles. Someone should look into that.
Global Frequency! And yes, I know there was a mid pilot that got made. I’ve seen it. But, it’s a perfect set up for having a small semi-permanent cast (Miranda Zero, Aleph) and then having great character actor guest stars rotate in and out with some that really hit being able to come back as needed. You got weird sci-fi, horror and conspiracy tropes easily built in. Think X-files meets Fringe meets Black Mirror.
I’d love a Twig miniseries.
Joe Golem show.
Lord Baltimore as a show, kinda like Kung Fu or The Incredible Hulk. He wanders from town to town killing vampires and monsters trying to get to the Red King
Fell by Warren Ellis and Ben Templesmith could make a great limited series.
Anything by Paul Pope as an animated series.
Maus
Dude.
That would be both amazing and horrific.
BPRD and Hellboy done as a prestige cartoon series would work.
Considering every non limited comic book TV series ends up padding with soap opera stuff I'm amazed no one ever optioned Noble Causes and made a straight up supe soap where the heroics were secondary anyway.
Yes.
Ascender and Descender
Still mad about Y the Last Man
Hyde street
Nemesis by Mark Millar would be cool as a movie. I could also see it as a series based off the twist of the villain.
Blue Monday and Hopeless Savages
Judge Dredd.
Black Science as a series but it would be expensive.
Nexus
Elfquest
Flaming Carrot
The Stuff of Legend would be great
I can imagine Paper Girls having a Stranger Things/Welcome To Derry vibe
Jeff smith’s Bone. It’s easily accessible and highly addictive. Successful for all ages with fantasy and cartoons
Descender in vain of the Lost in Space Netflix show.
100 Bullets would a great watch
Five Ghosts would be a cool limited series. Not sure why I thought of it now after years without it every coming to mind
Scud the Disposable Assassin. Admittedly, it's a bit of a narrative mess (hence, the really long hiatus), but it's a great concept. Since Rob Schrab has the experience of writing Monster House and writing and directing on Community, there's no reason that he shouldn't be able to shape it into something worth watching.
Maus
With urban fantasy having a moment Poison Elves might finally get the audience it always deserved.
Gen13, wildcats
Planetary.
Grimjack
I hate fairy land
The Authority and Trans metropolitan. Iykyk
Lazarus by Brubaker and Lark!
I'm amazed that Turok has barely been adapted, aside from video games and an animated movie that was barely noticed. Dinosaur-mania isn't going anywhere anytime soon, so it seems pretty natural for Turok to get a big budget theatrical movie trilogy, at the very least.

Animated Movie? I barley remember that .
Solar would be great in a Spider-Verse style animation
Strangers in Paradise as a series.
Lazarus by Greg Rucka.
A Dystopian future where governments have fallen and the Uber rich have taken over. They keep themselves alive with various tech and anyone living outside their walled cities are considered "waste" left to fend for themselves.
The elites have their domains and battle eachother Game of Thrones style.
Kind of on the nose for today current events. Would be a great series i think. The world building Rucka does is amazing.
Flaming Carrot and his cohorts.
I'd love to see a Transmetropolitan series.
Planetary
Irredeemable
Hard Boiled
Cheshire Crossing by Andy Weir.
What if Wendy Darling (from Peter Pan), Alice Liddel (from Alice in Wonderland) and Dorothy Gale (from The Oz Series) were brought together by a researcher who believed that their experiences were real, and then they accidentally crossed into each others' "fantasy" worlds? That's what this story is about.
Chew
American Flagg! (although our real world seems influenced by it and is probably even more dystopia now)
Savage Dragon
Grendel (hopefully this time it will actually happen)
Love and Rockets
Something is killing the children

It was a fucking joke mate.
Okay then. I voted your comment up.
This being the internet, it can be hard to tell when someone is or isn't joking.
what's your thoughts on the Witchblade adaptions?
I've enjoyed them but I'd love to see a live-action Witchblade movie on a big studio budget happen.
that would be cool. I've liked what I seen of the Witchblade Anime. the first 14 episodes. I watched them on Sling. the first 10 episodes I recorded, and the last 4. I watched live TV. the relationship between Madame and her adopted daughter Rihoko is what sells it. that's the hook in my opinion. which I'm sure the comics didn't even have. that's what intrigue me about it. that it was based on a American comic book.
Not a comic, but Mistborn needs a tv or movie series
Not before Stormlight!
Most definitely before stormlight.
Airsick low-lander.
I haven't read stormlight 😭
Love Everlasting
Turok
I want to see feathered dinos to be different from Jurassic Park
