Now that Invincible proved there's a big market for animated series faithfully adapting comics, would they finally start doing with other comics? What comics would work as a long running series?

I think Saga would be a hit with an unfaithful adaptation.

On one hand, I'm not sure IHF could be faithfully translated to an animated medium.
On the other hand though, the possibility of undoing Young's retardation through a retelling that would undoubtedly attract a wider audience is extremely strong.

The only things IMO you need to do to make IHF a successful cartoon are 1) Make the artstyle cute since part of the point is that it is a cute series with violence (Derek Laufman's artstyle should be the easiest to adapt to animation, you can even make fun of how it is mostly bean mouth). 2) Do more with the stories, one fatal flaw IHF has is that it loves compressing stories, give them time to breathe, have a complete story of Gert's reign as queen, for example. 3) Don't kill adult Gert when adapting to the revival.

Chew was gonna get an animated series recently but it got Zaslav'd
Bone got fucked by Netflix
Elfquest was getting one but the second Fox wanted one of the main characters gone, the creators pulled out
Pic related is what got announced to get animated adaptations and even then I'm not sure if any of them will actually get released
Comic adaptations get announced all the time and they almost never pan out
As if we'll see more animated adaptations period?
On one hand
>The Annecy is debuting a "Comics to Animation Rights Market"
>Robert Kirkman was very vocal about the positive benefits animated adaptations have had with Invincible's collected edition sales during ComicsPro and even Ryan Ottley mentioned it on twitter
On the other hand
>The state of the animation industry is fucking dire

I think a cerebus adaptation could be really cool if handled well but i dont want dave sim to get more money and i cant think of a team that could do the comic justice without it ultimately getting enslopified.

You know he's gonna put Cerebus in the public domain when he dies right?
There's also that one indie fanfilm adapting the first phonebook

Invincible takes liberties but it's still largely a faithful adaptation especially compared to every other series based on a western comic that isn't The Maxx.
It's not like The Boys which establishes hard liberties that makes events from the comic incompatible from the get-go, if you watch Invincible for the big moments from the comic to be adapted you WILL get those moments

Man fuck Syfy, instead we got a shit ton of seasons of the complete bastardization of Resident Alien and the only good part of that shit was Tudyk.

I would've said Hellboy but that ship has sailed, same for the Walking Dead and Preacher. Madman would be cool. They tried to do Gendel before, could go back to that. You could do a Love and Rockets, the Locas parts, Blacksad as well. Blackhole isn't long but it would be cool.

I honestly wonder how much of this could work as a series and how much is just me wanting an adaptation.

Invincible was not any more or less of this than the bucket of other DCAU cartoons that were like it, sans gore. It has raceswaps, and it undercuts the edgelord attitude of comic Mark with jokes about sexism. They thankfully got the most important scenes right, but there’s no reason to watch past season 1.

If they adapted Bone I unironically want it to be way more edgier and darker. Also change the final battle sequence near the end to be more character driven and give the bone brothers more stuff to do. The ending was clearly rushed as fucked

>Invincible was not any more or less of this than the bucket of other DCAU cartoons that were like it,
The difference is that the DCAU was largely episodic while Invincible is serialized
When the DCAU was serialized those plots were largely original to the DCAU itself
Invincible takes its liberties with its source material but the plot beats and events are still largely recognizable

I know even a 75% faithful adaptation would be difficult due to its format but I am curious as to how they would handle the lore sections, would they truncate it, Integrate it more into the story as snippets, animate flash backs or would they just have a character lore dump every once a while.
>>

>>153272861
Probably something like Avatar where they just prioritize things that concentrate on what's going on in the story itself.
Thieves & Kings' format worked well during the chase scene where Rubel was hounded by guards at the castle while the text detailed the tale of Sara Blue but if the latter was told in comic format, it'd warrant its whole issue.
I guess you don't necessarily need the lore dump in case of an adaptation since all you really needed to know about Sara Blue is that she's a ghost when she does finally show up in the main story but otherwise you'd still be missing a chunk of the comic's lore.

ABC bought the rights to Fables to develop it, then never went past the planning stages. But then ABC did make a show called Once Upon a Time which had a similar plot of fairy tale characters in the real world.
>After Fables fans raised controversy over possible appropriation, the show writers initially denied a link, but later said they may have "read a couple of issues" of the comic book and while the two concepts are "in the same playground", they are "telling a different story."[25] Bill Willingham responded to the controversy in an interview, where he stated he did not feel the show was plagiarism and said: "Maybe they did remember reading Fables back then, but didn't want to mention it because we've become a very litigious people."[25][29]
