Sounds cool, but how long would it last... I mean, it's a nine book series. Maybe you could make one season or multiple small seasons but without filler it would be short and just the series. But moving.
The best thing about Bone is it's the epitome of an ageless comic. It reads equally well whether the reader is 8 or 50. That's an impressive accomplishment in this day and age.
Really wish we'd see an adaptation of some sort for Bone. Telltale tried adapting it into game form in their beginnings, but never got past the first two volumes.
Kenneth Ayoob they’re making a movie thats set to release in 2020 or 2021. I forgot, but here’s the article www.google.com/amp/collider.com/producer-dan-lin-on-the-live-action-animation-tom-and-jerry-movie-and-bone-by-jeff-smith/%3famp
My daughter and I love this comic. It's witty yet sincere, and the blend of art styles and dialogue makes each character unique. There's genuine humor and suspense, and Bone feels so sympathetic through it all. So glad to see it recognized.
Re-read this series just a couple months ago and it remains one of my favorite of all time. The transition from humor to intensity is so perfectly paced that the line between the two is unnoticeable.
Thanks so much for this review! Bone is a timeless classic. If it is ever adapted I hope that it will be an animated series. I think that the brilliant new Dark Crystal series proves that audiences will support s saga like Bone!
At one point a movie was planned but it would've been a travesty; In the late 90s, an attempt was made by Nickelodeon Movies to produce a film adaptation of Bone. Jeff Smith said in a 2003 interview that Nickelodeon wanted the Bone cousins to be voiced by pre-teen actors, and wanted the film's soundtrack to include popsongs by the likes of N'Sync. Smith's response was that one would never insert pop songs in the middle of The Lord of the Rings or The Empire Strikes Back, and therefore pop songs should not be placed in Bone either.
I love Bone, but I got into it rather late in its run, as an adult. Which could also be seen as a plus since I was able to catch the last year or so as it came to a close. I do remember seeing it a couple times in Disney Adventures Magazine. I came to love Smith's artwork, and his work in this series is especially inspiring. Thanks for reminding me of Pogo.
Ridiculous that Dave Sim accused Jeff Smith's wife of being a leech on Jeff (because that's how he feels about all women) when she gave up a lucrative career to support him.
Such a great book. Everyone should read this. It truly is amazing. The scene where you find out why the bad guys are looking for phoney is one of my all time favorite comic moments. King dok is great too. I could go forever. Read it!
Ohh the nostalgia! Sitting on the back porch bench, curled up, and reading this while rain lashed against the roof... This was a really good story and I can't recommend it enough.
i always thought the reason the bones look the way they do is to contrast with the world they feel into. they are cartoony characters that fell into a fantasy story.
Bone is unironically one of my top three favorite favorites. When I was younger I didn't have a lot of comics, I just spent a lot of time in bookstores reading comics off the shelf. I read Bone and it had such an impact on me I realized it wasn't enough to have simply read it. I had to own it for myself.
I was just remembering how much I loved Bone yesterday. This video is greatly appreciated and now I’m convinced that Chris has harbored the powers of the Lord of the Locusts for generations due to this mere coincidence. Thanks!
This series means the world to my brother and myself. For years we wanted so badly for it to be made into a 2D animated series. I’m so glad that so many continue to read and enjoy it because it more than deserves it. The world building and lore is so interesting and I remember having so many feelings of terror and feeling small especially when they expired the old rat temples in the mountains. Absolutely incredible.
I think having a planned end in a story makes a huge difference as opposed to serials that just keep going amd going until stuff gets rehashed too many times or it just stops abruptly.
I love this story, and it’s easily my favorite comic of all time. My wife got me the 20th Anniversary Full Color Collectors Box Set for my Birthday a couple years ago. It’s amazing. And Bone #1 is the only comic that I’ve spent more than $300 on. I got it like 10 years ago, and just got it back from CGC a couple months ago, and my 8.0 Bone #1 is easily the crown jewel of my comic collection. I LOVE this comic. Anytime that someone in my life shows even the tiniest bit of interest in reading comics, I let them borrow my old Bone TPB.
Bone has this dreamy cartoon vibe to it while having some of the most fleshed out characters in any story, they literally feel like real people. I grew up reading it and a testament to its masterfully written hook, it interested me more than the video games and cartoons I had access to. I remember getting to the end and it made me feel I was seeing friends for the last time.
Just finished re-reading the series after 10+ years since the last time. Still holds up, and I have sooooo many happy nostalgiac memories of this fantastic series!
Grew up reading these comics, from 2007 to 2013. Even bought the novelised sequel spin-off that didn't really go anywhere. It's really amazing how Jeff wrote the volumes as a sort of chronicle that evolved bit by bit, starting as a humerous, surreal fantasy to an epic, action-packed, horror-fantasy. You can really tell that Jeff studied a lot of mythology; I'll bet he even was a D&D fan.
Recently dig up my entire collection of Bone comics after going through my grandparents garage. Saw this in my recommended and I think I’ll open those comics back up.
I still have all my original issues of bone. My dad bought them for himself when they originally came out, then gave them to me as a Christmas gift when I was a child.
Many years ago I found an omnibus that had the entire run of Bone in one book on a massive discount. I didn't know enough about it back then, and have always kinda regretted not getting it.
I got the whole book in about 2017, the big book with all the chapters combined. I read the whole thing in a week and more. I’ve read it about 7 times now, and it never gets old. It’s one of those books that has well paced story driven actions and the fact that not only are that rat creatures and locust a problem, but the main characters have to worry about political entities as well which adds that sprinkle bunch to the top. One of the most underrated, and I mean it. Underrated comics ever.
My first introduction to Bone was reading Disney Adventures during the 90s. They used to reprint portions of the stories in certain issues. Then many years later I read them all from the scholastic book collection.
Absolutly my favorite comic book of all time. I first read it in grade school and have loved it ever since. Still read it all the way through every once in a while
I remember reading this when I was younger but never really getting into the story. Now I'm gonna read this whole series hopefully with a greater appreciation of it
Bone is an incredible read. Please if you haven't picked it up in color or B&W just do it. It's really that good and the 40$ bw omnibus won't break the bank
I LOVED Bone! I remember seeing pictures from the comic in Wizard Magazine, and I think an interview with Jeff Smith, and being intrigued by it, but not finding any issues. A friend of mine in high school had the first two volumes, and one night while sleeping over at his house, I read them both as he slept. I WAS HOOKED! But, I still didn't buy them, but would talk to people about it when the topic of comic books or cartoons would come up. 2011(??) I finally decided to get the BIG COLLECTED volume from Amazon, and I was going to read the WHOLE thing. It took me back to that night I was at my friend's house back in the mid-90s, and once I got past the two volumes, and into new territory for me, I was mesmerized. Something with the book, with it's gorgeous art and story line that sweeps you away: you forget that it's in black and white! Your mind fills in the colors and it just envelopes you. I cannot agree with you enough about how amazing this comic was.
Found these in my school library way back in 3rd grade I think? I had been the first person in my class to find a comic book in there and i got most of my class hooked on them. The nostalgia man
After Bone don't forget to read 'Rose'! I only came across Bone about 5 years ago. I read it, gave it to my dad to read who also loved it and this past Christmas gave the first book to my friends teenager.
Speaking as someone who recently finished the entire Bone Story, you’ve done a terrific job at singing this comic’s praises! Keep those reviews coming, C.T.! Speaking of which, have you heard of Fernando Dagnino?
I remember reading these in the library with the bois. I read them out of order and we didn’t have the whole set, so I ended up not knowing the story, but damn do I have some bone nostalgia.
My middle school's library had the Bone series, and it was so popular that kids would be racing during library hour to be able to check out a Bone book
I grew up reading bone and matured along with it as the story progressed. Fone Bone is a character that has had an influence on my personality whether I was aware of it or not. Looking forward to all of your plans for the channel.
I remember back when I was in elementary (I'm in highschool right now) I was a very terrible and troubled kid. I was constantly in trouble, and I felt alone at home due to everyone always working. But one day my guidance counselor introduced me to Bone, and boy did I love the story. The story was so good, that she had bought me all 9 volumes as a reward for good behavior. I really enjoyed it, and I no longer felt that I was alone, because just reading the book made me forget all about my problems and trouble. Now I'm on the right track, is an honors Student, and I'm doing really well in school. I've just completed my second year in criminal justice, and is starting on my third year in the course. This story really turned my life around for the better.
I first discovered Bone when it was briefly shown in Disney Adventures magazine, which I read frequently as a kid. Having reread it recently, it's just as good, if not better, than I remembered.
Great Episode. I always find a connection from Bone to Asterix; it might just be me. 🤔 I am finally reading the end of the run through the b&w Omnibus just now. Really enjoying it.
Bone used to be my favorite, ive actually been thinking about it a lot recently and then found out the netflix adaptation was cancelled. I should be sad but now I remember the name so I can order all of the comics so I'm exited
Bone was a huge inspiration to me. Whenever I start to forget to put good panel to panel moments in some comics, I study Bone. Great episode! Excited for this international episode at some point. Thanks for your hard work!
Man, what are the odds that this video'd pop up while I'm currently in the middle of rereading Bone? It really is something special, right up there with the Life & Times of Scrooge McDuck for me. I still have fond memories of reading bits here and there in Disney Adventures back when I was a kid. I'd *love* to see someone announce a traditionally animated Bone series, that would be entirely my jam in the best possible way.
Bone is still an awesome little dude! His love for Thorn, the dragons, and the adventure to stop the lord of locusts! Its Tolkien influence is a marvel and its criminal this series isn't animated yet!!!
Ah Bone, a comic where you can have three cartoon characters, a super strong granny and a girl with dream powers fighting rat creatures who work for a Grim Reaper looking mofo who works for a horde of locust and nothing feels out of place or out of tone. Its a series that can have a character dress up in a cow costume to win a cow race at one part of the series and then have the villain shock an old, crippled warrior with his former, untouched face just to stun him so she can slice him in half and again, doesn't feel out of place. Stuff like Bone and Avatar really know how to mesh comedy, dark moments and fantasy together to where everything fits. Stuff like Marvel and DC seem to either be way too dark or way too lighthearted, they could learn a thing or two from Bone.

Omfg me toooooo
Holy shit same here and I remover being obsessed with them
same just replace elementary with middle school.
Yes! But I could never find all of them at the library, so I ended up reading like the 2nd, 5th, 6th, and 9th ones only.
Same I would always read those books back to back as a kid.
Who else would love “Bone” to have an animated series.
@Emperor Arkunus, Hmm... I don't know about Netflix I heard it had some constraints.

For me, before Sanji THERE WAS GRANMA BEN FRIG YEAAAH

3rd grade, book fair 🤙🏽
same 😂 i also got into it in 3rd grade and now, i'm a manga addict
I remember finding a chapter of the series when I was in middle school
The moving guy was so confused
*_"Um... Maybe the heat got to him..."_*
I like to think that Chris just showed up, offered to help, and then did the bit.
“...Published as an all ages book.”
Me: Vividly remembers someone getting SLICED IN TWO in the last book.
Yeah, TOTALLY suitable for all ages.
and someone getting decapitated...
Jackeboy
And kingdok claiming he ate thorn’s parents alive.
The collector Well to be fair we don’t see that happen.
Jackeboy
That’s true. Then again, he later bites thorn’s leg and that is pretty graphic.
I remember being pretty shocked in the 3rd grade when I saw Kingdok's arm get chopped off.
You know you were the cool kid in school if you owned these.
BSJ IN YO HOUSE lmao yes.
*_"Ah shucks stop it, You're making me blush."_*
I own the whole series scholastic reprints. I lent 5th book out to a friend... I never got it back.

9 Arcs, Prequel, Sequel Trilogy, Side Story, 25th Anniversary to end the OG story and a handbook is all what you get for Bone.
My elementary school had the Bone colorization in the library, and I’m still kicking myself for never checking it out.
I always read the same bone books never finished the trilogy
I always thought it was new like 2005 2006 lol maybe the color version
This was the only comic we could find in my middle school it was like a cripid
Re-read this series just a couple months ago and it remains one of my favorite of all time. The transition from humor to intensity is so perfectly paced that the line between the two is unnoticeable.
This was in every library in every elementary school here in Canada😅 childhood classic here, so glad you covered it
Yes! I can attest to this - my elementary school in Ontario, had the entire Bone collection and I loved reading them as a child.
I completely agree. Bone is one of my absolute favorite comics, and I got into comics partially because of it
First comic I read too, since it was available at my elementary school.
Thanks so much for this review! Bone is a timeless classic. If it is ever adapted I hope that it will be an animated series. I think that the brilliant new Dark Crystal series proves that audiences will support s saga like Bone!

Dark crystal was super good, call up Netflix if you want bone
I'm sure you heard but Netflix received the license/rights to make the Bone animated series! Jeff Smith tweeted about it. So excited!
Kendall Moore Yikes, thank God that didn't happen.
Homer Simpson: I love Bone, Bone is great!
I love Bone, but I got into it rather late in its run, as an adult. Which could also be seen as a plus since I was able to catch the last year or so as it came to a close.

Thanks for reminding me of Pogo.
*_I remember reading these in elementary school... god the nostalgia hurts_*
The nostalgia hit me like a truck
This does remind me to read the Bone again. It is such a fantastic series.

Ohh the nostalgia! Sitting on the back porch bench, curled up, and reading this while rain lashed against the roof...

Just finished re-reading the series after 10+ years since the last time. Still holds up, and I have sooooo many happy nostalgiac memories of this fantastic series!
I read this book from the years of 2007- about 2011. 5-9 years old, and I’m now realizing that this story gave me my love for fantasy

One of the best I have read. Do not let Hollywood get a hand on this classic if you do not want Jeff Smith's Bone be corrupted.
If you enjoy Bone I suggest trying Snarfquest, which used to run in the back of Dragon magazine.
NoJusticeNoPeace holy shit the nostalgia you just gave me with the words snarfquest
Bone has it all, comedy, tension, cool characters, the writing is awesome too!
I first read Bone as an adult and I can recommend it to adults highly too. One of the greatest fantasy comics ever.
Bone was a huge inspiration to me. Whenever I start to forget to put good panel to panel moments in some comics, I study Bone.
Great episode! Excited for this international episode at some point. Thanks for your hard work!
Not only just my favorite fantasy comic, but it's my favorite Graphic novel of ALL TIME.
Bone was my first ever comic book. In 5th grade, i found it in the school library. Dont know why that was even in the elementary school.
Man, what are the odds that this video'd pop up while I'm currently in the middle of rereading Bone? It really is something special, right up there with the Life & Times of Scrooge McDuck for me. I still have fond memories of reading bits here and there in Disney Adventures back when I was a kid. I'd *love* to see someone announce a traditionally animated Bone series, that would be entirely my jam in the best possible way.
Thank you for bringing attention to this wonderful Epic. The fact that it remains so obscure is a cry in shame.
Bone is the comic of my childhood!
One of my favorites, one of t comics that has made me cry.
Bone is still an awesome little dude! His love for Thorn, the dragons, and the adventure to stop the lord of locusts! Its Tolkien influence is a marvel and its criminal this series isn't animated yet!!!
"No.. that was when the prunes kicked in!"
Fun fact, Shaenon K. Garrity, creator of Narbonic, is actually the one who named Bartleby, she won a contest.
Back in elementary school it was always a race to see who would get the bone books after they replaced them in the library.
As a kid, my cousin lent me the whole series. I swear that I can hear the characters speak when I read it
My introduction to Bone was when the story appeared in Disney Adventure Magazine as part of the comics.
Ah Bone, a comic where you can have three cartoon characters, a super strong granny and a girl with dream powers fighting rat creatures who work for a Grim Reaper looking mofo who works for a horde of locust and nothing feels out of place or out of tone. Its a series that can have a character dress up in a cow costume to win a cow race at one part of the series and then have the villain shock an old, crippled warrior with his former, untouched face just to stun him so she can slice him in half and again, doesn't feel out of place. Stuff like Bone and Avatar really know how to mesh comedy, dark moments and fantasy together to where everything fits. Stuff like Marvel and DC seem to either be way too dark or way too lighthearted, they could learn a thing or two from Bone.
