Preacher: Mature Comic Book TV Shows We Need. The Walking Dead.

The Lesser Blessed Full Movie In English

Preacher. Legion. Premium and basic cable has proved to be the ideal home for mature, uncompromising comic book adaptations that wouldn’t fly on network TV and are too long- form and ambitious to be constricted to film. Even the latest TV hit American Gods, while based on a novel, has a comic book pedigree (it’s written by famed comic writer Neil Gaiman). Yes, the time has never been better to greenlight even more adult comic book series for the small screen. Watch Black Beauty Online Free 2016. Indeed, the wheels are already in motion for TV shows based on Vertigo series like Y The Last Man, Scalped, as well as Dark Horse’s. Sin City. Given that premium cable now has production qualities closer to cinema than ever before, while allowing for lesser constriction on content, it’s an ideal time to continue to prove that comics aren’t just for kids, and they can push the boundaries of the medium far beyond the likes of Supergirl, Arrow, and Gotham–or even Marvel’s more adult- oriented Netflix series. With that in mind, here are 1.

Rat Queens. This quirky fantasy Image comic series has been a cult favorite ever since its launch in 2. A tale of foul- mouthed medieval characters including Hannah, Violet, Betty, and Dee, it combines super- powered action, a unique mythology, and plenty of ribald humor. There has been a push from the get- go to get some sort of film or television adaptation for the property, including a WETA produced animated film series, but that announcement, made in 2.

The Lesser Blessed Full Movie In English

We think either an animated or live- action Rat Queens series would be absolutely kickass, introducing a whole new audience to its winning cast of empowered female characters. As long as a cable network can give it the creative freedom and lack of content restrictions required to let it shine, the possibilities are endless.

Northlanders. A critically acclaimed Vertigo series based on classic Viking folklore? In an era where Game of Thrones and Vikings are huge television hits, Northlanders seems ripe for the picking to be the next binge- worthy action- adventure series. The original comic series (which ran from 2. The concept of a Viking anthology series would add a new dimension to the historical fiction TV genre, allowing for intriguing narratives that sprinkle real- life factoids into exciting Viking lore. Plot points including the fall of Norse culture and the rise of Christianity are captivating, and the series’ brutal gratuitous violence is perfect for strong stomached viewers with premium cable subscriptions. Game of Thrones is nearing its end, so we’d say the timing couldn’t be more perfect to give Northlanders a shot at TV success. The Boys. While Garth Ennis is most well- known for creating Preacher (and his run on The Punisher), he also wrote The Boys, an entertaining black comedy series from Dynamite Entertainment.

And it would certainly be a great property for television. The Boys would be the perfect counter- programming for viewers suffering from superhero fatigue. Why, you may ask? Because it deals with an elite squad of CIA operatives intent on stopping supposedly superpowered do- gooders after they engage in risky behavior that threatens national security–often in the most violent way possible. The Boys are also blessed with extraordinary abilities which they use in fine, murderous, and ultra- bloody fashion, all of which could make for great grisly premium cable fun (the series’ blatant sexual content also makes it only appropriate for MA- viewing). And while Preacher is perhaps the single hardest comic series to adapt for television, The Boys is much more accessible thanks to its more conventional plot and subversive dark wit. American Vampire.

You could argue that thanks to True Blood, The Strain, Penny Dreadful, and The Vampire Diaries, the vampire television sub- genre may be a little too over saturated at this point, but allow us to attempt to persuade you otherwise. American Vampire is a terrific Vertigo title that also functions as a western. It features the anti- hero Skinner Sweet, a gunslinger that’s turned bloodsucker after he’s attacked by vampires of the classic European variety. But Sweet isn’t your average vampire–he’s the next evolution, one who is impervious to sunlight and has enhanced speed and strength.

The series traces his violent adventures across a variety of time periods including World War II, while also introducing a vampiric heroine named Rose. There’s loads of atmosphere and multi- layered storytelling to be explored here, and it could easily be the next big television smash hit.

Human Target. Please try to wipe that lame 2. Fox series of the same name from your memory, because it was the second worst adaptation of the DC/Vertigo title of the same name featuring detective/bodyguard Christopher Chance. For what it’s worth, the top honor goes to a short- lived 1. Rick Springfield.)The key to the character’s appeal is taking on the appearance and persona of the clients he’s sworn to protect in order to take down assassins and other nefarious entities who stalk them, and the effect his unusual profession has on his psyche. This is ripe for a mature television adaptation that delves into his complicated psychology and dangerous line of work. Sure, the character made an appearance on the 5th season of Arrow, but he deserves to be front and center with his own series with no content restrictions.

Saga. This Eisner and Harvey Awards winning Image Comics series (written by Brian K. Vaughn) is a space opera on as a grand a scale as Star Wars, but its grand vision could totally be adapted for television. A tale of two lovers who hail from warring alien races and flee for a better life with their young daughter, Saga is a sci- fi actioner, family drama, and love story all in one. Described in promotional materials as “Star Wars meets Song of Ice and Fire,” Saga could well be the next Game of Thrones with a cosmic twist. Watch Phenomenon 4Shared here. Oddly enough, Vaughn isn’t keen on a small screen adaptation, saying in 2.

I couldn’t do in a movie or a TV show. I’m really happy with it just being a comic.”Be that as it may, the series has been referenced in several TV series, including The Big Bang Theory and Supernatural, so an eventual cable series seems more of a question of if, not when. Let’s speed things up, shall we? Ex Machina. As we mentioned in the intro, Brian K.

Vaughn’s popular Vertigo series Y The Last Man is slowly but surely making its long- awaited journey from the comics to the small screen. But what of Ex Machina, his fascinating political superhero thriller? Mitchell Hundred is the costumed adventurer The Great Machine, who has the power to communicate with other machines, and can disable them by simply speaking. His powers help spare one of the World Trade Center Towers on 9/1. Instead of keeping his identity a secret, however, Hundred makes it public, running and winning the mayorship of New York City, navigating a complex web of political land- mines and costumed adventures along the way. That’s the type of emotional and daring programming that would make for must see television, exploring the political spectrum of American politics of our not- too distant past to comment on our perilous future.

Fables. You’d be forgiven for thinking the idea of a modern world where fairy tales exist has been covered already, thanks to network shows like Grimm and Once Upon A Time. But it can be argued that both shows ripped off their premises from Bill Willingham’s acclaimed Vertigo fantasy series Fables.

In fact, the comic series had been pitched unsuccessfully as a pilot in 2. Watch Ex Dailymotion. Fables shows a world where classic characters like Snow White, Cinderella, and Pinocchio try to live in secret in modern times, and the conflicts their presence perpetuates in the real world. It discusses political and societal themes through a fantasy prism, showing a truly unique fusion that hasn’t been explored in quite the same way in any other fantasy tale.
