I just learned little nemo adventures in slumberland is based off a comic. Loved that feverdream movie as a kid, doesn't really holdup as an adult because of the annoying side characters sadly.

Went 20 years not knowing it was based off a comic book.

Preacher. I was a season in before I looked it up. Still haven't read them, the show was so good.

I think Locke & Key has been the only show/movie I watched without knowing it was a comic.

Written by Stephen King's son no less. I read most of the comics. Forgot it was made into a series.

I honestly can't remember but there are a variety of ones that I did not realize were graphic novels or such and came across it later. After I find out though it is not memorable enough to remember what movies. Thinking about it though it is amazing how accepted comics and really scifi/fantasy is nowadays.

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.
