Yeah I rewatched that series in 2019 to 2020 and realized how similar most of the seasons was based on the comics. Which was dope because I was starting reading TMNT comics at the time.
I haven’t watched the video yet but ‘Bone’ by Jeff Smith NEEDS an adaptation, ESPECIALLY after 3 failed attempts. That original story is my favorite piece of art ever made, and more people NEED to witness that story. I could only imagine how good an adaptation could look visually.
I just… really don’t like the original Kick-Ass comic. I looooove the movie, like it’s one of my favorite movies ever, but the book is just gross to me. Mark Millar just isn’t really my guy I think. Idk maybe I should try it again or try the sequels or something.
As someone who knew nothing about Invincible before watching the show, I was absolutely blown away and would love to see more shows with the level of talented storytelling as Invincible.
Imagine a Hellboy animated show with comics amazing artstyle and HellBoy being voiced by Ron Pearlman (or Injustice 2 VA, he’s great too). God that would be amazing and there’s proof of the style working well with the web of wyrd game and a pilot on youtube (forgot what it was called but search it Mike mignola animated pilot or something, you’ll find it).
I think what this made clear to me is that the "Invincible treatment" is essentially just the manga-to-anime treatment. Invincible could be a big turning point in having American comics (and western comics generally) get animated adaptations. someone is definitely knocking on Brian K Vaughan's door begging for Saga right now
I say,not only manga to anime treatment but light novel to anime treatment also,we already have many good sci-fi to fantasy novels...caution,just take the good ones...
I'm a simple man: I see Radiant Black, I click. Radiant Black and Ultramega deserve the Invincible treatment. But I think they should wait until the whole story is complete. So far it isn't and I'm waiting for the new issue but Radiant Black is so freaking cool and I'm glad people are recognizing it
Got a random issue of it in a cheap random deal and I thought it was pretty weird so I didn't read it, but a lot of people tell me it's good so I might read it some day
I would want an animated take on Umbrella Academy. The comic version is so unapologetically weird, it would be nice to see Gabriel Ba's style in animation
Kill Six Billion Demons (when it's finished), would make for a nice show. Its a webcomic, but it has printed editions of complete books published by Image comics. Great action, fun story and funky world. Tom Bloom/Abbadon is a creative man and seeing his world in motion would be lovely. Speaking of his work, seeing content from his Lancer, ICON, or Magnagothica settings would also be cool
an adult animated adaptation of The Mask comic would go hard af. Idc if you a fan of the ‘94 film, it was a comic before that and has so much potential to be batshit crazy
That would be awesome. With the success of Invincible and that Atom Eve special, it would be perfect for Amazon to expand the cartoon by picking up more spin-offs like Tech Jacket and Britt.
I just finished reading Compendium 1 of Saga, and I have never read anything more suited for a TV show adaptation. That's my #1 most wanted adaptation.
I'm very glad you gave credit to colorists and other part of the creative teams, I knew Klaus was drawn by Dan Mora who is one of the few Costa Rican comic artists in mainstream comics atm and it was a huge surprise to hear that Doug Campos was the colorist, that man was my teacher in several Uni courses, so fucking sick, I love that man, one of the best professors I've ever had
Klaus works for me partly b/c of the publication gimmick were we only get releases around Christmas, and they're always told in-media-res where characters reference stuff that happened in the proverbial last issue if it was a monthly book, or ages ago in another age of comics. I loved the one where he fought the corporate icon of Santa and the issue opened with him coming to the aid of a father who realized his kids were missing from their beds. "I just escaped an ice prison on the moon and was on my way home, but I heard you needed help?"
What really sucks nowadays, is that some indie comics DO feel like it's a pitch or a beautifully illustrated bible for a TV show. Geoff Johns' and Gary Frank's Geiger 6-issue series feels that way, and now is being turned into a live action series for Paramount+. A lot of the characters and storylines really felt underdeveloped on purpose so on meetings with the networks they could say "This could be an episode" or "We could go deeper on this in episode 6" on those parts. Now with the "Ground Zero" and the Geiger ongoing series it seems like they're trying to fix those flaws. Let's see if that works out.
Getting into comics as an adult and being a big animation fan. I so desperately want more animated versions of indie comics. There's so many different stories that deserve more attention plus, a ton of them have beauty artwork/styles. I feel like most people don't appreciate non anime looking art styles anymore, and it's a shame.
What you call "the invincible treatment" I call "the manga treatment". One of the things I hate the most is people saying there are many differences between manga and Americans comic books but there really isn't. The main difference is that all kind of manga stories get adaptaed in animation while historically only superhero comics from the big two had this kind of adaptation. When other kind of comics get adapted it usually is in live action (with all of it's limitations) and in most cases the studio seems ashamed to promote it as an adaptation of a comic book.
You know? I think I would enjoy a Snarlagon animated series too. He looks like some sort of combo variant of Godzilla and Gamera with a hint of Astro Boy thrown in. That sounds like a show that pays homage to Kaiju Genre movies and shows.
I think the unique thing about colorists it that they are able to make a book feel cohesive regardless of who's lining or inking. You could have a drastic change in the style of artists drawing between the flip of a page and so long as that palette is consistent you'll hear minimal complaints from the audience.
There's too many to count. Bone, Cerebus, Savage Dragon, maybe a reboot of Spawn or the Mask. Hellboy. Maus, Black Hole and Concrete could easily become animated movies(not even gonna touch on all the nsfw stuff like Lady Death, Purgatori, Witchblade or Cavewoman). At least Elfquest is getting an animated show, i hope it does well, just knowing what the creators went through was so inspirational...
I always thought Astro City would be the next comic-to-adaptation superhero story for the streaming services. But Netflix’s bungling of Jupiter’s Legacy proves that not everything needs that treatment.
Man what I would do for a astro city adpatation I would love if the voice cast are actually done by many of the actors who played the characters the astro city characters are based on like having Samartian be voiced by say Jack quiad or Brandon routh for example
I love Astro City! It's such a cool comic with rich lore and worldbuilding and interesting characters. It would be a great animated series, if done correctly.
I think indie comics (in the sense of not-Big 2) are the ones that inspire me the most in terms of being a writer, possibly because I feel, most of the time, they're much more of a pure passionate creative vision than what a lot of the Big-2 stuff end up becoming sometimes. Obviously, someone's run in Batman isn't inherently less valid than the same person's own indie comic, but if they thought the story came to a point where an important character should die, they might not even be allowed to do that on Batman, but on their own comics they can do whatever they want.
Couldn't agree more. A modern day Generator Rex would be nice too. Imagine if they actually make a crossover between Ben 10, Generator Rex, Invincible and Firebreather.
@@onepresence9460facts but unfortunately CN owns Ben 10 somehow WB needs to buy it from them. Ben 10 was basically gonna be DC he already has crossovers with Superman etc it wouldn’t be hard at all to have all the alien species in the background of a movies or shows like green lantern. And I was devastated when they gave up on generator Rex.
This is sorta unrelated, but you may or may not have heard of Ricky Ricotta’s Mighty Robot. Its made by Dav Pilkey, the same guy who made Dog Man and Captain Underpants. Even though its more obscure, i feel like a animated movie based on the comic with that sort of spiderverse-esque by dreamworks would be really cool to see. I haven’t read the books in a while but it does have a more action focused tone, still having some of that juvenile humor of captain underpants. Considering they are making a dog man movie, it’s not completely out of the question. I do love its anime influence in setting and the design of the robot. It’s very clearly based on the Iron Giant
Hack/Slash. High potential for invincible treatment. And a friend of mine sugessted Jenna Kenell as Cassie Hack. (Personally, I'd prefer laura lavera) There's a lot you can do with this property: Horror Cameos, Horror Homages, etc. But I don't know what route it should take.
I love Invincible esq comic adaptations cause it gives a viewer who hasn’t read the comics an idea of what the story is so they can read the comics and see the difference in the story is. It reminds me of Scott Pilgrim Takes off how it almost felt like a sequel to the comics and the people who watched the movie are now even more inclined to read the books since it will give them a reason to read the original story from the author themselves. It’s why I love OG Dragon Ball’s manga over the anime cause it’s a clear vision of the authors art style and story telling method. Rest in Piece Akira Toriyama
As others have said, Bone absolutely deserves an animated adaptation, either a film trilogy or a TV series. An animated Chew TV series would also be incredible, would have loved to see that animated film (ironically starring Steven Yeun as Tony Chu) that was in the works a while back.
I know this isn’t a indie comic but I really want an IDW transformers adaptation in the style of invincible because the comics themselves are kinda hard to get since IDW transformers collection vol 1 is $250 on Amazon and since IDW lost the license there’s really no other place to get them so doing a adaptation to one of the best transformers interpretations would actually be so fucking awesome.
This was another great video I definitely will be checking these books out and I liked how you talked about how the Invincible treatment can benefit the comics industry as a whole because before Invincible came out I had very little knowledge about the comic but the amazing first season motivated me to buy the compendiums and read the entire series in a little under a week just showing how effective these types of adaptations can be and whenever a comic creators stories get more exposure it’s a great thing for both the audience and the industry at large
I know that the comic shouldn’t have gone on as long as it did…BUT I would like to see a I Hate FairyLand animated show. I also would like Hellboy to get an animated show WITH Ron Pearlman voicing again.
Dude PLEASE do more indie comic recommendations! I’ve heard of “Something’s killing the children” but that shit sounds right up my alley (don’t take that out of context). Keep up the great work man!
Some of your choices for Indie comics that deserve animated projects are excellent picks I die to see animated adaptations for comics like Radiant Black, Klaus, Public Domain or Kick-Ass. Another comic I think would be cool to see get the Invincible treatment is Blacksad, a neo-noir detective mystery comic set in a world of anthropomorphic animals that got a Telltale-esque videogame a couple of years ago. I think the style and stories and grounded stories could really be powerful and dark stories with gorgeous art. If they keep the grim, noir and realistic tone while tackling issues of social class, exploitation of minorities/poverty, government corruption in the era of the Cold War, and so much more, it could be really good and impactful.
I love to see the book "Something is killing The Children" get an animated series. It's so dark and mysterious and I feel like a animated horror series would be dope!
The 'Something is Killing the Children' adaptation is being run by the creators of Dark, the greatest show ever made, so it will most definitely be in good hands.
If I may add to the pile of comics that could be translated well into a different medium: I vote for Diesel, written and drawn by Tyson Hesse. Sonic fans know that name VERY well (he's the guy who helped fix his movie design, along with many animated features with the hedgehog), but not many know that he created his own book under BOOM! Studios and it seems like a really fun time! It's a story set in a Steampunk/Pirate world where there's flying ships, a dark undercity, a utopia in the skies and the main character Dee, is trying to find her father's airship (at least, that's what the synopsis for the first novel told me). Even if I haven't read the comic quite yet (that's going to change, trust me, I'm just poor), I would LOVE for this to be adapted into a cartoon. A show, while made for kids, is something the whole family can enjoy. The closest I can compare it to is shows like The Owl House, Avatar or Infinity Train with their unique fantasy worlds and interesting but fun characters. As of right now, the thing I'd be most excited to see brought to life is the art, because HOT DAMN, this world looks pretty! It leans HEAVILY into the steampunk look, where the designs of architecture are bronze, clunky and industrial looking and the added pirate design blends just...so well together. The character design reminds me of something like Scott Pilgrim, but with dynamic proportions like in Rise of the TMNT. All in all, I think this would be a FANTASTIC animated show...and I swear to god, I'm going to find this book. THEY SAY IT'S AT BARNES&NOBEL SO I'M HOLDING THEM TO THAT.
Radiant black is so prime for an animated adaptation it’s not even funny its literally what if Spider-Man was invincible and a power ranger😭😭😭 I need to see this
Biggest thing that deserves the Invincible treatment is probably Clockstriker. Feels like manga made by black creators giving the feeling of Saturday morning shounen.
A book I would love to see get an animated adaptation and achieve mainstream popularity is "The Antagonists" written by Tyler Martin with art by Giacomo Guida, Matteo Illuminati, and Matteo Illuminati. It's the story of a Black family of retired supervillains that actually do a lot of things popular superheroes already do like murder, (I'm looking at you MCU heroes and movie Batmen), only they do it in the name of Black liberation. Often juxtaposed with the superhero teams deliberately made to be the whitest people imaginable. People say the story is like the Boys meets the Sopranos, so it's a good story for television.
Funny how so many of these books are Scott Snyder and his students lmao. We’re getting 2 seasons of Snyder’s Witches sometime soon so that’s an indie that may blow up. Also a Sex Criminals animated show would be crazy.
if you ever make another video like this, include kill six billion demons!!!!! incredible art, crazy world building, and all made by a single dude check it out if you haven’t heard of it before, it’s worth it :D (it also features one of the sickest trans characters i’ve seen in a while)
Ok, in a similar but ultimately unrelated field, I really want marvel to start doing animated movies of some of their less iconic but still popular comics. Similar to the DCAMU and DC's animation team where they had their whole animated schtick, mostly out of continuity, I want marvel to do that. Like, my main wish is an animated trilogy/tetrology around the Krakoan era of X-Men but some other wishes would be Zdarsky's daredevil, maybe a series of short films based on Kurt Busiek and Alex Ross's Marvels, a series of a few films covering the major events from just before civil war through the end of Siege (so Civil War, Secret Invasion, Dark Reign and Siege), Spider-Man: Life Story, and I would be saying X-Men Lifedeath here if we weren't already getting that in TAS so instead I'd like God Loves, Man kills
Another comic that should do the invincible treatment is ultimate Spider-Man I been dying for some of faithful adaptation of it.(i know it’s not indie):)
I really hope that the success of Invincible as well as The Boys leads to more comics being adapted into shows. It would be so cool to see comics get adapted consistently in the same way that anime are constantly adapting different mangas.
another one i’d love to see adapted is any of daniel warren johnson’s work. it would be hard to adapt his style, but comics like murder falcon and do a powerbomb absolutely deserve to be seen by a larger audience
More people need to check out the webcomic Strong Female Protagonist. Its my favorite comic because of its great exploration of its characters and the deep philosophical questions it asks. The story follows Alison green (formerly the world famous superhero Mega-girl) after she tries to retire from being a superhero and decides to go to college to find a different ways to save the world other than punching giant robots. I would love if this comic got an animated adaptation but I doubt that will ever happen.
The Walking Dead with good writing like that first season would’ve been incredible. They should reboot it as an animated show - but with tweaks to Kirkman’s writing.
I know it’s not a comic, but Christopher Paolini’s Eragon and it’s sequels would be brilliant to see as a TV show or series of movies. The first book is a bit generic but afterwards it gets good and most characters are really good and many have great arcs (Eragon and Murtagh 🔛🔝). The worldbuilding is class and seeing the magic system implemented into an animated or live-action setting would be class. Anyways, nice video bro. I got to check out Tyson Andrews.
Thank goodness Something is Killing the Children is titled what it is, because that gives me a nice and clear reason to avoid it right up front. Yeah, if there's one thing in storytelling I cannot stomach, its child death. I'm pro-letting people tell the story they want to tell, but it just doesn't sit well with me.
It's not a comic, but it's certainly indie, my most wanted superhero adaptation would be Worm. The story is a web serial and it's easily the best superhero story I've ever seen, and I'm saying that as someone who loves superhero comics and movies. The basic set up is a bullied teenage girl with the power to control bugs gets mistaken for a villain her first night out trying to become a superhero. That barely scratches the surface though, since a lot of what makes the story as great as it is would be kind of spoilery (like where powers come from).
this is the first place that i found out about Radiant black thank you so much man you have earned yourself your sub after i have seen 2 banging videos from you
Any of the stories from, "A Cold Place Between The Shores". It's an anthology comic book that I would honestly love to see any of the short stories within it be adapted and expanded upon. I love all of the different prompt ideas for the stories that seem to be dying to be expanded into longer running series or mini series. It's also a really indie comic and seeing it and any of the authors who contributed to the book get some love would be great.
I personally need to see East and West, Saga, and Blacksad adapted at some point. Rich universes, and great character writing that would be great shows.
I would like to see adaptations for Irredeemable and Incorruptible. Irredeemable is both a love letter to old wacky Superman comics while also being a horrific deconstruction of what happens when said Superman goes nuts because everyone placed the burdens of the world on his shoulders solely because of his power, not his fortitude. You can bring the whole Evil Superman thing full circle with the Boys being a more grounded Evil Superman Story, Invincible sitting comfortably in the middle, and Irredeemable being just a straight-up comic book with all the weird and fantastical elements you'd expect to see. As for Incorruptible, I'd like to see the main character Max Damage be voiced by Sylvester Stallone. I liked him as Nemesis in Samaritan, and his performance after the big twist reveal reminded me a lot of Max Damage.
@@KingDawg72 🤔 No clue. The names Charybdis and Scylla never really worked for me because they reference female sea monsters yet neither one is female nor have anything water themed about them. I guess it is supposed to reference the idiom based on those monsters, where one is clearly more of a threat than the other.
This list put me onto a lot of comics I didn't even know existed, all these stories seem awesome. If I would change something from the list, I would put Saga. Many fans of GOT, I feel, would dig the story of Saga
A Radiant Black show would become my new personality. Also Kyle Higgins is one of the coolest, nicest most humble creator I have ever met, and I want all the best and money for him.
why is he called "Invincible" if I can see him?

On god, bro. Jeff Smith deserves better.

Curse Netflix for dropping it, will green light the garbage Good Times reboot but will let something like BONE walk right out the door

I think indie comics (in the sense of not-Big 2) are the ones that inspire me the most in terms of being a writer, possibly because I feel, most of the time, they're much more of a pure passionate creative vision than what a lot of the Big-2 stuff end up becoming sometimes. Obviously, someone's run in Batman isn't inherently less valid than the same person's own indie comic, but if they thought the story came to a point where an important character should die, they might not even be allowed to do that on Batman, but on their own comics they can do whatever they want.
A modern day ben 10 would go crazy
Facts
A sequel to Omniverse is my number 1 hope.
Couldn't agree more. A modern day Generator Rex would be nice too. Imagine if they actually make a crossover between Ben 10, Generator Rex, Invincible and Firebreather.
@@onepresence9460facts but unfortunately CN owns Ben 10 somehow WB needs to buy it from them. Ben 10 was basically gonna be DC he already has crossovers with Superman etc it wouldn’t be hard at all to have all the alien species in the background of a movies or shows like green lantern. And I was devastated when they gave up on generator Rex.
@@saucymongoose7246man of action is trying to do it rn or do a ben10k series but CN is giving them a hard time…as usual
This is sorta unrelated, but you may or may not have heard of Ricky Ricotta’s Mighty Robot. Its made by Dav Pilkey, the same guy who made Dog Man and Captain Underpants. Even though its more obscure, i feel like a animated movie based on the comic with that sort of spiderverse-esque by dreamworks would be really cool to see. I haven’t read the books in a while but it does have a more action focused tone, still having some of that juvenile humor of captain underpants. Considering they are making a dog man movie, it’s not completely out of the question. I do love its anime influence in setting and the design of the robot. It’s very clearly based on the Iron Giant
THE GOON has been in development hell for a decade. David Fincher and Tim Miller keep trying to adapt it. Hopefully they get the chance
Hack/Slash. High potential for invincible treatment. And a friend of mine sugessted Jenna Kenell as Cassie Hack. (Personally, I'd prefer laura lavera)
There's a lot you can do with this property: Horror Cameos, Horror Homages, etc. But I don't know what route it should take.
Lucifer(dc), The invisibles, hell boy, sandman all deserve proper animated adaptations.
What are invisibles😮
I love Invincible esq comic adaptations cause it gives a viewer who hasn’t read the comics an idea of what the story is so they can read the comics and see the difference in the story is. It reminds me of Scott Pilgrim Takes off how it almost felt like a sequel to the comics and the people who watched the movie are now even more inclined to read the books since it will give them a reason to read the original story from the author themselves. It’s why I love OG Dragon Ball’s manga over the anime cause it’s a clear vision of the authors art style and story telling method. Rest in Piece Akira Toriyama
Troy…. Troy…. I know it’s not indie but HELLBOY is in desperate need of a show
As others have said, Bone absolutely deserves an animated adaptation, either a film trilogy or a TV series. An animated Chew TV series would also be incredible, would have loved to see that animated film (ironically starring Steven Yeun as Tony Chu) that was in the works a while back.
I know this isn’t a indie comic but I really want an IDW transformers adaptation in the style of invincible because the comics themselves are kinda hard to get since IDW transformers collection vol 1 is $250 on Amazon and since IDW lost the license there’s really no other place to get them so doing a adaptation to one of the best transformers interpretations would actually be so fucking awesome.
The Irredeemable Comics deserves its series, I believe he's the iniquitous of all the Superman-inspired characters!
I have been dying for a movie or miniseries adaptation The True Lives Of The Fabulous Killjoys by Gerard Way and Shaun Simon
This was another great video I definitely will be checking these books out and I liked how you talked about how the Invincible treatment can benefit the comics industry as a whole because before Invincible came out I had very little knowledge about the comic but the amazing first season motivated me to buy the compendiums and read the entire series in a little under a week just showing how effective these types of adaptations can be and whenever a comic creators stories get more exposure it’s a great thing for both the audience and the industry at large
I know that the comic shouldn’t have gone on as long as it did…BUT I would like to see a I Hate FairyLand animated show. I also would like Hellboy to get an animated show WITH Ron Pearlman voicing again.
Dude PLEASE do more indie comic recommendations! I’ve heard of “Something’s killing the children” but that shit sounds right up my alley (don’t take that out of context). Keep up the great work man!
Some of your choices for Indie comics that deserve animated projects are excellent picks I die to see animated adaptations for comics like Radiant Black, Klaus, Public Domain or Kick-Ass.
Another comic I think would be cool to see get the Invincible treatment is Blacksad, a neo-noir detective mystery comic set in a world of anthropomorphic animals that got a Telltale-esque videogame a couple of years ago. I think the style and stories and grounded stories could really be powerful and dark stories with gorgeous art. If they keep the grim, noir and realistic tone while tackling issues of social class, exploitation of minorities/poverty, government corruption in the era of the Cold War, and so much more, it could be really good and impactful.
With Keith David voicing blacksad
I’m a massive Blacksad fan! It’d be so cool to see anything, a show or a movie.
Blacksad would be incredible for an animated series. Great suggestion :)
I would personally love to see Astro City getting animated.
For real thank you for these types of videos 🙏🏼🙏🏼
I love to see the book "Something is killing The Children" get an animated series. It's so dark and mysterious and I feel like a animated horror series would be dope!
Radiant black is in DESPERATE need of a cartoon my god
I knew I was gonna like this when I saw Radiant Black in the thumbnail.
The 'Something is Killing the Children' adaptation is being run by the creators of Dark, the greatest show ever made, so it will most definitely be in good hands.
I'd love East of west by Johnathan Hickman animated
If I may add to the pile of comics that could be translated well into a different medium: I vote for Diesel, written and drawn by Tyson Hesse.
Sonic fans know that name VERY well (he's the guy who helped fix his movie design, along with many animated features with the hedgehog), but not many know that he created his own book under BOOM! Studios and it seems like a really fun time!
It's a story set in a Steampunk/Pirate world where there's flying ships, a dark undercity, a utopia in the skies and the main character Dee, is trying to find her father's airship (at least, that's what the synopsis for the first novel told me).
Even if I haven't read the comic quite yet (that's going to change, trust me, I'm just poor), I would LOVE for this to be adapted into a cartoon.
A show, while made for kids, is something the whole family can enjoy. The closest I can compare it to is shows like The Owl House, Avatar or Infinity Train with their unique fantasy worlds and interesting but fun characters.
As of right now, the thing I'd be most excited to see brought to life is the art, because HOT DAMN, this world looks pretty! It leans HEAVILY into the steampunk look, where the designs of architecture are bronze, clunky and industrial looking and the added pirate design blends just...so well together.
The character design reminds me of something like Scott Pilgrim, but with dynamic proportions like in Rise of the TMNT.
All in all, I think this would be a FANTASTIC animated show...and I swear to god, I'm going to find this book. THEY SAY IT'S AT BARNES&NOBEL SO I'M HOLDING THEM TO THAT.
Radiant black is so prime for an animated adaptation it’s not even funny its literally what if Spider-Man was invincible and a power ranger😭😭😭 I need to see this
If this video doesn’t have I Hate Fairy Land I’m rioting
Biggest thing that deserves the Invincible treatment is probably Clockstriker. Feels like manga made by black creators giving the feeling of Saturday morning shounen.
I'd go feral for some kind of project set in the Astro City universe
Radiant black is a great pick Idk if you mentioned it tho,I just clicked the video
I know it’s not indie but The Mask requires a dark, bloody adaptation and it’ll even be cool if Jim Carrey could come back for it
And they gotta let Jim carry swear
4:49 you also have to randomly say “and that’s why…” in places where it makes no sense
If I could pick any comic to get picked up in this way it’d have to be SAGA
A book I would love to see get an animated adaptation and achieve mainstream popularity is "The Antagonists" written by Tyler Martin with art by Giacomo Guida, Matteo Illuminati, and Matteo Illuminati. It's the story of a Black family of retired supervillains that actually do a lot of things popular superheroes already do like murder, (I'm looking at you MCU heroes and movie Batmen), only they do it in the name of Black liberation. Often juxtaposed with the superhero teams deliberately made to be the whitest people imaginable. People say the story is like the Boys meets the Sopranos, so it's a good story for television.
finally some made a video like this. i want a i hate fairyland cartoon or a giant days one
I love I hate Fairyland. It's so good!!!
Both would be incredible cartoons. The art styles fit perfectly for animation.
I just binged season 2 of *title card* and it was really good
I would love a Radiant Black show. I've been a huge fan of Kyle Higgins after his work on Power Rangers. Radiant Black was also great.
An Infamous animated adaptation series would been cool since it was published by DC and its tie-in sequel before Infamous 2.
hopefully animated better than invincible
I love you troyoboyo17/j
Funny how so many of these books are Scott Snyder and his students lmao. We’re getting 2 seasons of Snyder’s Witches sometime soon so that’s an indie that may blow up. Also a Sex Criminals animated show would be crazy.
if you ever make another video like this, include kill six billion demons!!!!! incredible art, crazy world building, and all made by a single dude
check it out if you haven’t heard of it before, it’s worth it :D (it also features one of the sickest trans characters i’ve seen in a while)
Ok, in a similar but ultimately unrelated field, I really want marvel to start doing animated movies of some of their less iconic but still popular comics. Similar to the DCAMU and DC's animation team where they had their whole animated schtick, mostly out of continuity, I want marvel to do that. Like, my main wish is an animated trilogy/tetrology around the Krakoan era of X-Men but some other wishes would be Zdarsky's daredevil, maybe a series of short films based on Kurt Busiek and Alex Ross's Marvels, a series of a few films covering the major events from just before civil war through the end of Siege (so Civil War, Secret Invasion, Dark Reign and Siege), Spider-Man: Life Story, and I would be saying X-Men Lifedeath here if we weren't already getting that in TAS so instead I'd like God Loves, Man kills
I would absolutely love more comic recommendations. You and you're videos are amazing! 💓
Another comic that should do the invincible treatment is ultimate Spider-Man I been dying for some of faithful adaptation of it.(i know it’s not indie):)
I really hope that the success of Invincible as well as The Boys leads to more comics being adapted into shows. It would be so cool to see comics get adapted consistently in the same way that anime are constantly adapting different mangas.
another one i’d love to see adapted is any of daniel warren johnson’s work. it would be hard to adapt his style, but comics like murder falcon and do a powerbomb absolutely deserve to be seen by a larger audience
I love troyoboyo17 Charlie!
I LOVE TROYOBOYO17!!!!!
U put out so much quality work every other day. How do u do it man❤
I just want Beatle Borgs man, idc that it may not be indi or have many comics but itd be SO GOOD
More people need to check out the webcomic Strong Female Protagonist. Its my favorite comic because of its great exploration of its characters and the deep philosophical questions it asks. The story follows Alison green (formerly the world famous superhero Mega-girl) after she tries to retire from being a superhero and decides to go to college to find a different ways to save the world other than punching giant robots. I would love if this comic got an animated adaptation but I doubt that will ever happen.
The Walking Dead is a prime candidate.
The Walking Dead with good writing like that first season would’ve been incredible. They should reboot it as an animated show - but with tweaks to Kirkman’s writing.
@@firstlast9846 just follow the comics more and it’ll be better
I would love a TWD cartoon. Imagine if it's in black and white instead. It would be so cool :)
Is it? Nah.
Indeed😮
I know it’s not a comic, but Christopher Paolini’s Eragon and it’s sequels would be brilliant to see as a TV show or series of movies. The first book is a bit generic but afterwards it gets good and most characters are really good and many have great arcs (Eragon and Murtagh 🔛🔝). The worldbuilding is class and seeing the magic system implemented into an animated or live-action setting would be class. Anyways, nice video bro. I got to check out Tyson Andrews.
14:05 days of future past jumpscare
Thank goodness Something is Killing the Children is titled what it is, because that gives me a nice and clear reason to avoid it right up front.
Yeah, if there's one thing in storytelling I cannot stomach, its child death. I'm pro-letting people tell the story they want to tell, but it just doesn't sit well with me.
It's not a comic, but it's certainly indie, my most wanted superhero adaptation would be Worm. The story is a web serial and it's easily the best superhero story I've ever seen, and I'm saying that as someone who loves superhero comics and movies. The basic set up is a bullied teenage girl with the power to control bugs gets mistaken for a villain her first night out trying to become a superhero. That barely scratches the surface though, since a lot of what makes the story as great as it is would be kind of spoilery (like where powers come from).
I was scrolling through here hoping i would come across a fellow Worm fan, you get it.
Yes! Worm would be a great one! Imagine all of the stuff animated. The possibilites are endless.
this is the first place that i found out about Radiant black thank you so much man you have earned yourself your sub after i have seen 2 banging videos from you
Any of the stories from, "A Cold Place Between The Shores". It's an anthology comic book that I would honestly love to see any of the short stories within it be adapted and expanded upon. I love all of the different prompt ideas for the stories that seem to be dying to be expanded into longer running series or mini series. It's also a really indie comic and seeing it and any of the authors who contributed to the book get some love would be great.
Something Epic issue 1 is great. Defo needs stuff
Omfg We love Radiant Black and it’s nice to see it get a shoutout
I personally need to see East and West, Saga, and Blacksad adapted at some point. Rich universes, and great character writing that would be great shows.
irredeemable is a comic series I think would fit well alongside the boys. Especially its spin off series Incorruptible.
I would like to see adaptations for Irredeemable and Incorruptible.
Irredeemable is both a love letter to old wacky Superman comics while also being a horrific deconstruction of what happens when said Superman goes nuts because everyone placed the burdens of the world on his shoulders solely because of his power, not his fortitude. You can bring the whole Evil Superman thing full circle with the Boys being a more grounded Evil Superman Story, Invincible sitting comfortably in the middle, and Irredeemable being just a straight-up comic book with all the weird and fantastical elements you'd expect to see.
As for Incorruptible, I'd like to see the main character Max Damage be voiced by Sylvester Stallone. I liked him as Nemesis in Samaritan, and his performance after the big twist reveal reminded me a lot of Max Damage.
I wonder who would voice the Survivor/Charybdis...
@@KingDawg72 🤔 No clue. The names Charybdis and Scylla never really worked for me because they reference female sea monsters yet neither one is female nor have anything water themed about them. I guess it is supposed to reference the idiom based on those monsters, where one is clearly more of a threat than the other.
This list put me onto a lot of comics I didn't even know existed, all these stories seem awesome. If I would change something from the list, I would put Saga.
Many fans of GOT, I feel, would dig the story of Saga
A Radiant Black show would become my new personality.
Also Kyle Higgins is one of the coolest, nicest most humble creator I have ever met, and I want all the best and money for him.
