Which comics deserve to be brought to other media but aren't speculated

[revivedrevival]

 

Which comics are you surprised that don't (or didn't) have their own very active CGC forum thread?

 

My list:

 

Sidekick sure it's new but I like the concept. Where's the speculation?

 

Severed The horror mini series by Snyder is a bit dated. It may speak to how many more comic collectors TWD has pulled in but it seems as though The Wake is getting much more attention. The number of Severed comics submitted for certification is silly low. Yes, it's a mini series but still.

 

Scalped I know why it won't reach other medias: it's politcally incorrect (native americans). Which is a shame. It's such a great story.

 

Witch Doctor no love for excorisims and other supernatural phenomoma?

 

Scarlet Brian Michael Bendis plus a hot strong female lead. I'm sure the long hiatus between #6 and #7 didn't help.

Great topic - theres a lot of good books that are easily overlooked.

 

I didn't go looking very far back in the treads after I joined, but I would have thought RASL by Jeff Smith would have gotten attention considering how many people like Bone. Its a good sci-fi thriller.

I have always thought Scott McCloud's Zot would have been an easy Disney/Pixar movie to market. I still don't understand the holdup on Elfquest as well.

"Overlooked" -- yes! I couldn't think of a good word like that. All that came to mind when creating this thread was "unspeculatory".

I would love to see Planetary as a weekly show in the same vein as the Night Stalker only with superbeings and such.

 

I could see Bodie Troll fitting in to many scenarios as an all ages toon.

[WebSlinger]

Ya Bodie Troll is awesome!

I could also see something from Five Ghosts. I would think the ghosts themselves would have a huge following and Fabian Gray is James Bond cool.

I must not be the only one to like Jake Ellis if it got a sequel.

[the authority]

Never read it. What is it about ?

[Taco]

Who Is Jake Ellis? is the first mini. Where Is Jake Ellis? is halfway through with a delay. It's about someone who use to work for the CIA in a research lab who gets this ghost-like person (Jake Ellis) that knows where everything is and can tell him what to do. I'm big on the whole espionage/Jason Bourne type stuff.

You're right about Scalped. Too bad the topic is so touchy because the book is just so good.

Sounds cool. I'm going to try it. thanks

I'm glad to see that Dashiell Bad Horse is always in the #50 range in recent top 100 superhero lists.

But, in time, as everyone's memory fades, he will drop and eventually fall off the countdown lists.

 

Not so bold prediction: Deadpool will rise from #30 to top ten in ten years.

Preacher, Transmetropolitan, Scalped, Unknown Soldier, Ex Machina - any one of these could be awesome

[the authority]

I never missed an issue of Ex Machina. Writing and the art were superb and it wouldn't require a giant budget to make. Good pick

Agree with Ex Machina and Unknown Soldier too.

[Vikingreed]

Oh man, I have forgotten all about Guerrilas!

That book was great.

 

We3 was rumored for a long time, but has disappeared from speculation/movie rumors.

Another great book.
