    kind of disappointed that saga will never be mainstream. it's unbelievable how underrated this comic is. so beautiful and smart and comic that completely captivated me. if you haven't read it yet, then you are missing out on a lot.

      sean bowman Say what? Even before the horrible show aired, I would've asked,"what are you thinking?" Inhumans? The comic book that's a race with X-Men like abilities and a royal family team at the core? The mad brother that is their biggest villain? They've never had a successful comic run in their own in the history of the characters. How is it like Saga? Romeo and Juliet it is not.
      *Sorry, maybe Tristan and Isolde it is not, the Inhumans that is. And I was really bummed at the money that was wasted on that show. Money like that should've went to make something like Saga.

      As much as I agree with you, I can't see it happening. The only way, I mean the ONLY WAY, that would happen is if Netflix animates it in partnership with one or two other prolific animation studios.

    • @TheJ1s

    To be honest Brian Vaughan and Fiona Staples might be low key down to do a movie or show adaptation in the future. Brian says no now, but I feel like they want to focus on completing the story and conclude it all together before moving the franchise forward to a much larger audience. I dont mind that there arent any adaptations atm, because preproduction is a hell of a procress and the authors have to meet with scripwriters constantly; sacrificing their own time from finishing the actual comic story. Thats what happened to George RR Martin.

    This comic will go down as the best Comic of all time, eventually supplanting Watchmen in terms of popularity by a wide margin.
    And it will all be because an eventual mediocre TV show will come out, drawing fans to the comic to spoil it for themselves at the end of each season. (I really hope they go with animation)

    I sure as hell would've rather a Saga show have gotten the money that Star Trek Discovery did. With shows like Legion and American Gods this past year, the right creative team and show runner could make this the best adaptation ever. Netflix, HBO even Showtime, basically a company that isn't afraid of the sexuality this book brings. The way the books are written would work very well episodically imo. But I don't want a dumbed down, or half the best characters cut out motion picture, that wouldn't do this amazing book justice. Just as Watchmen and Y are often considered in the top 100 works of modern literature, Saga should be as well.
