With comic book sales declining, do you think the comic titles should be adapted into TV shows? Which series would you want?

YES!!!! it depends on if it's animation or live action. I would like to see as many as possible of both!!! I think there needs to be more live action shows, however. look at the success of Smallville and Walking Dead. I would love to see a live action : Fury of Firestorm, Powers (image), Daredevil, POWER MAN AND IRON FIST, Planetary!!!!!!!

@cosmicallyaware1:Live action would be pretty risky. They're making a Green Arrow and Spectre show. I think they're also supposed to make a Blue Beetle show.

I'm just throwing this out there... Spider-Girl. Everyone loves Spider-Man, but do they know his Daughter? I would write the series, but I want someone to make it so!

Ehh... The animated shows nowadays don't appeal to me. And Smallville was so.... Days of Our Lives but with superpowers. I would like to see an X-Men TV show. That would be cool to watch.

I suppose.

If they want a high school superhero story, then tell the story of Spider-Man or the New X-Men (with M-day. I would actually watch that)

Depends on the comic and TV production quality/adherence to comic continuity.

Absolutely. I'd almost prefer that my favorite characters got a TV show rather than a movie. The Question getting a TV show is number one on my lists of wants.

no. A direct adpation from comics to t.v could never work out because comics can't keep with with t.v's pacing.

I can agree with you for the most part, but not entirely. Comics based on certain superheroes (ex: Red Hood and the Outlaws, Nightwing, Teen Titans) could make for excellent shows.

Absolutely not. This media already suffer from movie deformation..that's enough..at least if people could avoid talking about them thinking that you're a comic reader so you love all those sh*tty adaptations. That's a personal opinion.
