Choku! would make the BEST tv show. The nosebleed panels would be amazing.

Happy! by Grant Morrison would be awesome as a film.

Violence, sex, drugs... and a tiny blue flying unicorn :D

I think the "Amulet" series deserves a TV adaptation. It seems like a comic only for kids, but there are so many dark, edgy undertones and some political intrigue as well.

Daredevil. Particularly either the Frank Miller run, Kevin Smith run or Brian Michael Bendis run.

Transmetropolitan, Fables, all of Crossgen, The IDW Transformers series (barring Ongoing and All Hail Megatron), The Marvel GI JOE series

Need a new judge dredd movie, rogue trooper, strontium dog and the ABC warriors would be good movies too.

Could make a series out of ace trucking.

Why judge dredd ? did you not like Dredd(2012) 
And yes it would be cool to see other 2000ad characters get their own film i mean the rogue trooper got his own game

I absolutely loved the rogue trooper game, for some reason i cant get it to run properly any more.

I would like the City of Owls adapted to film, such a great start for New 52 Batman :). On that note, what are your hopes for Gotham? I think it looks really good :)
GruntWatcher's avatar
I haven't really thought about gotham that much, so long as it doesn't turn out like Agents of SHEILD

To be honest I haven't watched an episode of AoS, it never interested me. Heard it started off bad but got better? Not sure.

Gotham, looks good. I like the idea of it following Jim, just wish it wasn't set present day. I already know what the last episode will be, it'll be Jim meeting Batman for the first time :P haha

Transmetropolitan, DMZ and Sandman

I think the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen deserves another shot

just not right now, i mean the avenger did come out two years ago.

Captain Marvel! I love the fact that the Justice League has a ten year old on their team and how long it took them to figure it out- could make an interesting TV show/ movie.
GruntWatcher's avatar
So long as he does'nt meet superman

Echoing others here on Deadpool. In particular I think the Dead Presidents issue would make a good movie.

Impossible but could be done right:
