A place to discuss comic books of all types, from old to new, Big 2 to indie, and everything in between.

Floppies, graphic novels, compilations, omnibusses (omnibusi?) are all fair game.

There is only one rule:*

Comic Books is a no judgement zone.

You can talk all you want about how Rob Liefeld is trash, Bob Kane is an asshole, or Frank Miller and Dave Sim’s politics have made them toxic, that’s all good.

If, however, another user is LEGITIMATELY a fan of something you don’t like, that does NOT make them a lesser person. Attack the art for being bad, not the person for being a fan of bad art.

* I lied. There are TWO rules... No piracy. Cover shots? That's good. Interior pages, in moderation? Sure. Full books? Links to pirate sites? That's how we get things shut down. :(

I'm not saying it's been a problem, because it hasn't been.

What live action adaptation do you want to be made? (lemm.ee)

I wish the Valiant universe rights weren't all over the place, the reboot would make an amazing cinematic universe.

Always wanted to see a black mirror like anthology for Dial H for Hero, and after reading Astro City, it could definitely also be an amazing anthology series. (if it had the budget)

I asked live action specifically, since I genuinely believe any comic could be great animated. (if it had the time and budget lol)

Saga but I’d also be afraid if it ever got made because the track record of comics to movies is mostly not great.

He-Man/Masters Of The Universe

Snow Crash (Though I think this could be difficult to do well)

Some of mine have happened. Sandman (oh well), One Piece on Netflix was really good, and I was gonna say Lazarus but apparently Amazon took a crack at it, I will have to look it up. Paper Girls was good live adaptation too.

Looking at the bookshelf, I think Phonogram is the one I would like to see, it seems do-able and would be good with all the music, good to look at, wouldn't have to take itself too seriously either.

A lot of the Judge Dredd story arcs would make for good TV, near futuristic sci-fi serialized stories under a post apocalyptic dystopian police state.

Fear agent or Remender's x-force would be awesome mini serieses.

Undiscovered country would be pretty interesting to see the reaction from a broader audience, and I think the invisibles would be great to see how they handle a live adaptation.
