    TV show.. all live action except that Transmet can be animated (traditional 2D), and Bone should be.

    Transmetropolitan
    Bone
    Fables
    Hopeless Savages
    Blue Monday
    Street Angel
    Love & Rockets
    Zatanna
    The Wicked + The Divine
    Birds of Prey (Gail Simone version)

    Only with creator involvement and a 5-season commitment, though. It seems like every comics-adapted TV series either sucks or is awesome and gets cancelled after one season.

    For me, the answer is often a lot of Morrison material....Klaus (Clive Standen!), Annihilator, Nameless, etc
    Things I love: Batman, Superman, AEW, old films, Lovecraft

    Grant Morrison: “Adults...struggle desperately with fiction, demanding constantly that it conform to the rules of everyday life. Adults foolishly demand to know how Superman can possibly fly, or how Batman can possibly run a multibillion-dollar business empire during the day and fight crime at night, when the answer is obvious even to the smallest child: because it's not real.”

    I'd like to see another go at Y The Last Man.
    Transmetropolitan would be different than other sci-fi series.
    Bone could be a monster hit on Netflix or streaming.

    The Adventures of Barry Ween Boy Genius could easily be a Rick & Morty style hit.

    I'd like to see The Invisibles, even if it's now out of date.

    I'd like to see Captain Britain and the Jaspers Warp story. But I wonder if Alan Moore would have to give his permission.

    Strikeforce: Morituri cast of different characters, personal drama, lack of permanence and the ability to switch out actors. There's a big special effects cost, but it's a great concept.

    Netflix cancelled their Bone adaptation IIRC.

    I'd borderline kill for a Pre 52 Movie of Cassandra Cain Batgirl. By far my favorite heroine.

    Indeed.

    The Usaji Yojimbo and He-Man update shows were stellar.

    Had me looking forward to Bone.

    Velvet by Ed Brubaker and Steve Epting would make a great show but it could support a series of films just as easily.

    Black Science by Rick Remender, Matteo Scalera, and Dean White - TV

    Descender by Jeff Lemire and Dustin Nguyen - Movie

    Dead Body Road by Justin Jordan, Matteo Scalera, and Moreno Dinisio - Movie

    Chariot by Bryan Edward Hill, Priscilla Petraites, and Marco Lesko - TV or Movie

    Hit Me by Christa Faust, Priscilla Petraites, and Marco Lesko - Movie

    Last Flight Out by Marc Guggenheim, Eduardo Ferigato, Natalia Marques, and Marcelo Costa - TV

    Fathom by Michael Turner - TV or Movie

    Superior by Mark Millar and Leinil Yu - Movie

    Joyride by Jackson Lanzing, Collin Kelly, Marcus To, and Irma Kniivila - TV

    I neglected to make a list:

    10. Power Pack -- Marvel's answer to TTG but not bean head animations

    09. Bone -- big budget cartoon movies with a unique art style like SM: ITSV or Mutant Mayhem

    08. Criminal -- Netflix show

    07. Incognito -- Netflix minis

    06. Fatale -- Theater movie

    05. Velvet -- big budget action show on Paramount

    04. Punk Rock Jesus -- HBO Max mini?

    03. Trillium -- Apple TV mini

    02. Joe the Barbarian -- big budget movie

    01. Atomic Robo -- multi media juggernaut on everything: movies, cartoons, lunch boxes, KCup pods, text book covers, you name it.
