TV Show Comics

[Mister_Comics]

Is television that bad that there are no longer comics published of TV shows. I can remember a time when just about any television program that was on the air had a comic published of it. It didn't matter if it was a hit show or not, you'd see a comic of the show.(ex. I'm Dickens, He's Fenster) I wonder why TV shows aren't transfered to comics anymore. I think there are some shows that could be comics. They aren't all that bad.

Babylon 5 comic got cancelled but think the tv series is being repeated on Space network still. Do we really regret not seeing an Ally McBeal comic bk? Should make a Marvel Max Sopranos comic (blood, guts & swearing) so we can get them signed at the National comicon then slabbed.

I'd pay for a Sopranos comic book. Also a Red Shoe Diaries one...

[spidermanbeyond]

I got some Mutant X if you are interested.

[aardvark88]

Would be gr8 marketing for Marvel to put vials of REAL Sopranos blood into the red ink for the comic just like they promoted the M Comics Super Spcl #1 KISS mag w/ the band members real BLOOD. Top seller for Marvel Max for sure.

Was MUTANT X based on the TV show? I hardly remember it. Think I seen it once.

 

I think BUFFY and BATMAN BEYOND are the only comics out now that are from TV shows.

 

SAPRANOS would make a cool comic.

 

How bout WHEEL OF FORTUNE. Ah! Never mine.

I think Angel has a comic too.

Noooo there are old men pretending to BE monsters. And they would have gotten away with it too, it it wasn't for those meddling kids.

 

A well can be a real monster if you fall down it.

Do wells ever put on costumes and try and come up with unneedingly complex ways to buy land cheap or whatever the current plot is in Scooby Doo?

You know, the OSBORNE's would make a good funny comic. Except there wouldn't be much to read in the word balloons.

"You know, the OSBORNE's would make a good funny comic"

 

that one would have to be a marvel MAX or dc vertigo title

Current television comics include:

 

Live Action Shows:

Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Birds of Prey (doesn't really count especially since show is cancelled)

Smallville (one-shot that is likely not continuing)

CSI (starts next month)

Alias - Agent Sydney Bristow (starts next month)

Angel (restarts next month)

Star Trek (you're never more than a month or two from the next series)

Several other recent shows including VIP and First Wave have seen comic treatment from small press publishers.

 

Animated Shows:

Justice League Adventures

Batman Beyond

Transformers Armada

Simpsons

Powerpuff Girls

Samurai Jack

Scooby Doo

Dragonball Z (and a dozen other anime programs including Sailor Moon and Hamtaro)

 

That's off the top of my head. I am certain I am missing some. The biggest reason why people may not be aware of how many TV comics are out there is that many stores only carry 100 titles or so of the roughly 500 titles shipping each month. In the era of non-returnable distribution, few stores will take a chance on an unproven property...
