What TV show would you want to be a comic? - Gen. Discussion

#1 Posted by IceCreamMikey (13 posts) - 1 year, 10 months ago - Show Bio

Tv Shows turning into a comic like Simpsons and Futurama have actually been really good in the past years they have been out. Now that Family Guy is getting its own comic I wonder what other Tv Shows could have its own comic. I think if Robot Chicken would have a pretty crazy, funny comic book series. What TV show would you want to see into a comic? Don't turn this into some big discussion that TV shows shouldn't be made into comics or anything, Just wondering if anybody is interested in seeing one.

I'd like to see Daria comic book. Daria is SO much better that Beavis and Butt-Head!

A Criminal Minds or Torchwood comic wouldn't be bad. And a House comic would certainly be.... interesting.

A Spartacus: Blood and Sand comic could be interesting

I'm pretty sure after the show was canceled they started a comic.

Stupid the show was canceled though it was hilarious.

Torchwood has a comic book called Rift Wars, also there is a comic strip in every Torchwood magazine.

The Reaper graphic novel by Image wasn't the same as the show.

More Doctor Who

@Dracade102:
I think there are already Doctor Who comic books.

@Kairan1979: That's why I said "more"... I'd like to see some new ones.

#20 Posted by Nova`Prime` (3929 posts) - 1 year, 10 months ago - Show Bio

NCIS
NCIS: LA
Burn Notice

I also wouldn't mind a Big Bang Theory comic, obvious changes need to be made, but what if they were like the Scooby Doo gang or something. I think the group dynamic would be good for getting into weird and funny comic style situations and then getting out of them.

Didn't know about Rift Wars. The comic strip in the magazine doesn't count.

The stories from the strips were gathered together to form a book. So it does.

The greatest show on TV deserves a comic book.

I feel pity for anyone who hasn't given this show a try, it's one of the best TV shows I've ever seen. It'd be a dream job to write or draw an ongoing comic book series of this show.

I want a new Smallville series. In the final episode we saw a comic and it looked pretty awesome. The cover even had DC's holding the line at 2.99 on it. I think in the show though it was a kid's comic as it looked very simple from the few pages we saw.

Dexter.

I find it so hard to believe that he doesn't have a comic (at least that I know of) especially with how much the show reads just like a comic book (not to mention how well the 3 books did before the show).
There's already been an animated show that was drawn very much in a comic book style called Dexter Early Cuts detailing his early years. Showtime even put all of the episodes on YouTube.

Episode 1: Alex Timmons

Episode 2: Gene Marshall

Episode 3: Cindy Landon

The fourth and final episode was Dark Echo which is in six separate chapters all of which are on Showtime's YouTube page.

One of the illustrators for the show actually managed to convert the second episode Gene Marshall into a comic before it was cut up and sent to be animated and it actually turned out pretty good.
Dexter Early Cuts Comic.

I also saw this promo of some sort online a while back but haven't really heard anything about what happened with it. I think it seems it was done as just a little one page joke promo for the new series' that were being launched for the other characters involved.

I thought it looked cool though! Plus that little soliloquy he has in the first two panels is pretty awesome.
