Comic book you'd like to see as TV series

[JD]

I was reading about the New X-Men comic series the other day, and I got to thinking that was something I could easily be adapted for a network like the CW or ABC Family. Another one that I've thought could be a cool TV series is Green Lantern Corps, I can easily see that is a series focusing on say Guy Gardner and a group of aliens.
So what about you guys, are there comics you think would make a good TV series?

For me, it's more of a question of what I wouldn't mind seeing on the small screen. But here are a few that come to mind:

Mystery Society
Scalped
Deathlok
Punisher
Moon Knight
Heroes for Hire (Power Man/Iron Fist or Misty Knight/Colleen Wing)
Daredevil
Blade (I know about the canceled series, but I wouldn't mind a new approach)
SHIELD
Batgirl (Cassandra Cain)
Nightwing
Wonder Woman (not the aborted version)
Aquaman
Green Arrow
Static
Blue Beetle
Black Lightning
Suicide Squad
Invincible
Astonishing Wolf-Man
Blackjack
Vampire Huntress
Anita Blake

We're not talking Grant Morrison's New X-Men, are we?

Penthouse Comics.

No-brainer: Y: The Last Man. I read an interview with Vaughn once where he said people always tell him it should be HBO series, not a movie (series?), and he always replies the budget would be prohibitive. But surely they could green-screen the big parts, as a kind of halfway Sin City-show, with backgrounds that look animated rather than photorealistic, and get away with it?

It'd be pretty cool if they brought LSH back. And by "pretty cool" I mean "make life worth living again."

Other than that, maybe Justice League International?

 

[Kai "the spy"]

I think there's hardly a superhero who's more fitted for a TV show than the Flash. I mean, his powers are managable on TV budgets, there's an endless supply of villains (and they keep coming back and forming alliances, which would really work for story arcs) and he's simply a likable character with a costume that can work in live action. Plus, if it's Barry Allen, they could really use the whole forensic crime investigation, I hear forensic crime fighters are hip these days.

"Ex Machina" or as Gaith suggested Vaughn's "Y: The Last Man". Both series are pretty much tailor made for television. I know they've attempted to develop both into movies (Y had the Disturbia director attached along with Shia to play Yorick). HBO or AMC would be prime networks for either of these series. Kyle Chandler would make an excellent Mitchell Hundred too.

Also would love a "Spider-Woman" series. Jessica Drew's past and often murky origin would make a great superhero/spy series.

Wally West or we start killing hostages.

[Chaos Descending]

The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers.

 

[sojourner]

LAW & ORDER:SVU
Superheroes Victim Unit

dong-dong!

 

[Admiral Buzzkill]

I want to see a series titled Rorschach on HBO.

Hey, hold on - I actually do want to see that.

They can leave the rubber tights-wearing costars at home, though.

 

[stonester1]

Cerebus, animated, on one of the premium channels. Terry Moore's "Strangers in Paradise".

Alien Legion.

The Last Galactus Story.

Castle Waiting.

Elfquest.

Holey Crullers (be a good anthology).

Poison Elves

Knights of the Dinner Table

FAANS

Girl Genius

 

[Admiral Buzzkill]

I think Rorschach needs to be set in the late seventies or early 1980s, with frequent flashbacks to earlier points in his career. It has to have the hard-boiled first person narration, of course, and naturally we never see him without the mask.

 

[the G-man]

Preacher and Sandman. But only on cable.

 

[the G-man]

The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers.

Produced by the Coen Brothers, please.

 

[sojourner]

Animal Man - produced by Sid and Marty Kroft.

Wally West or we start killing hostages.

I love Wally, but he's no good for introducing the Flash to a new audience, because his origin doesn't work without Barry.
The only way Wally could work as the star of a Flash show would be if they'd make it a spin-off of the John Wesley Shipp show, with a sort of history ready for what happened in-between the two shows.

Spider-Man would be an awesome TV series. At times, the comic has basically been a soap opera with superpowers.
