So, Invincible Season 2 just wrapped up and I loved it. I think the show is incredible, as a fan of the original comic I love all the changes that it makes to the source material and the ways that its adapting this story.
My favorite thing about the show is that it’s not setting out to replace the original comic. You can watch the show and then read the comic, and while the general story might be the same, the changes that are made allow them to both co-exist. And that’s gotten so many people into the world of independent, creator-owned comics.
And so I want to see more things like it, more indie comics getting adapted into these big animated projects and bring some more eyes onto the stories. So here are some indie comics that I think deserve “the Invincible treatment.”

why is he called "Invincible" if I can see him?
*rock music*
invisible invincible 😂😂😂😂
Just like Joe Cena
“why is he called 🎺🎺🎺 if i can see him”
Can you rewrite Iron Man 2 and 3
Being real the 2003 NinjaTurtle cartoon gives the TMNT the “Invincible treatment”.
Couldnt agree more. Grew up with that series and I loved it ❤
@@5678hu Yeah, the theme song defined my childhood.
That show was so freaking good. It is my personal favorite version of the TMNT.
Yeah I rewatched that series in 2019 to 2020 and realized how similar most of the seasons was based on the comics. Which was dope because I was starting reading TMNT comics at the time.
Nah 2012 would be way better
I want a Radiant Black cartoon so bad! That animated short with Will Friedle as Radiant Black was dope as hell
A radiant black cartoon would go hard af
could u share the vid
I can see Amazon Prime Video picking up as an animated series, considering the success of Invincible.
Netflix really fumbled the Bone adaptation
Oh god don’t remind me
On god, bro. Jeff Smith deserves better.
Yeah, they did unfortunately. It would've been one of the best animated shows for sure. And one of the best Netflix Animation originals.
Don't forget the GRENDEL adaptation. They filmed a whole season and chose not to show it at the last minute!
When I’m in an “Announcing amazing animated series and then cancelling it before it even airs for no reason” competition and my opponent is Netflix
I haven’t watched the video yet but ‘Bone’ by Jeff Smith NEEDS an adaptation, ESPECIALLY after 3 failed attempts. That original story is my favorite piece of art ever made, and more people NEED to witness that story. I could only imagine how good an adaptation could look visually.
Curse Netflix for dropping it, will green light the garbage Good Times reboot but will let something like BONE walk right out the door
I have faith that one day we will get a proper 'Bone' animated adaptation. I can see either Amazon Prime Video or Apple TV Plus picking it up.
@@onepresence9460 That’s the best case scenario, but after 3 cancellations, i’m starting to lose hope.
I’d GLADLY be wrong though
@@theinternetdeputy Fingers crossed.
Man as someone who literally owns every issue of BONE… I just don’t see it doing well
I love that they got Josh Keaton to play legally distinct Spidey.
If I had a nickle... (Young Justice)
I haven’t watched young justice so spoil it what’s the spider man rip off in that show
@@wndt In Young Justice the villain/assasin Black Spider is voiced by Josh Keaton and his outfit and gear are much more Spidey like.
That was spectacular. I hope he appears in Beyond the Spider-Verse as funny cameo. That would be cool.
@@onepresence9460 hehe spectacular
@@thatmovienitpicker8070 hehe :)
"Allstar Superman should be taught in schools"
actually, my 6th grade teacher got us to read Allstar Superman, so it kinda is in some places
Thats awesome!
That's so cool :)
I'm so jealous man
Ok
@@darthrevan5976ok
Animated Kick-ass would go hard
Cooking
I know he's not indie but still kinda under appreciated in media but a Blue Beetle series in the style of spectacular Spiderman would be cool
let him cook
I just… really don’t like the original Kick-Ass comic. I looooove the movie, like it’s one of my favorite movies ever, but the book is just gross to me. Mark Millar just isn’t really my guy I think. Idk maybe I should try it again or try the sequels or something.
@@troyoboyo17 can you do rewrite of iron man 2 and 3
“Kill or be Killed” is a great comic by Brubaker and Philips, a show adaptation of that would be sick
I've read all of the Issues of Kill or be killed. It's an Amazing Story, I could definitely see it getting a great reception if done right.
Flowey ya better not be writing comic when I get there
Flowey:
It would definitely be sick. If it was animated, i can see the action scenes being kinda similar to Ninja Kamui.
As someone who knew nothing about Invincible before watching the show, I was absolutely blown away and would love to see more shows with the level of talented storytelling as Invincible.
Imagine a Hellboy animated show with comics amazing artstyle and HellBoy being voiced by Ron Pearlman (or Injustice 2 VA, he’s great too). God that would be amazing and there’s proof of the style working well with the web of wyrd game and a pilot on youtube (forgot what it was called but search it Mike mignola animated pilot or something, you’ll find it).
The Amazing-Screw-On-Head?
@@joeratchford8782 oh that’s what it was called, yeah that animation was spectacular and makes me want a Hellboy series in that style
That would be perfect! Hellboy's lore is so rich that can be explored through multiple animated shows and movies. We need it to happen someday.
I wish!
I LOVE radiant black, it feels like a love letter to superhero comics/ power rangers
I agree. I've been buying issues since it's release and it is the first series I read every month
It does! It's such a cool comic :)
I could probably see Amazon picking Radiant Black as an animated series in the future.
@@onepresence9460rating from 1-10 how would you recommend it?
Something is Killing the Children genuinely sounds like peak, just needs the right people/enough dedication and care for the project
If you haven't already you should try reading through it, it's incredible ❤️
Couldn't agree more. It would be a really good animated series if done right.
Got a random issue of it in a cheap random deal and I thought it was pretty weird so I didn't read it, but a lot of people tell me it's good so I might read it some day
It's currently been handled by the same people who made Dark.
an adult animated adaptation of The Mask comic would go hard af. Idc if you a fan of the ‘94 film, it was a comic before that and has so much potential to be batshit crazy
13:36 Its funny you say that because All-Star Superman WAS a required reading for one of my college classes lol
Klaus works for me partly b/c of the publication gimmick were we only get releases around Christmas, and they're always told in-media-res where characters reference stuff that happened in the proverbial last issue if it was a monthly book, or ages ago in another age of comics.
I loved the one where he fought the corporate icon of Santa and the issue opened with him coming to the aid of a father who realized his kids were missing from their beds.
"I just escaped an ice prison on the moon and was on my way home, but I heard you needed help?"
I hope Kirkman gets Amazon to pick up Tech Jacket , his story is equally as cool as Invincible.
Wolfman and Brit too
That would be awesome. With the success of Invincible and that Atom Eve special, it would be perfect for Amazon to expand the cartoon by picking up more spin-offs like Tech Jacket and Britt.
He got Fire Breather a movie.
Shit, Kirkman should get Amazon to actually adapt HIS The Walking Dead this time
@@Gabe600 wolfman, britt, and best tiger are all confirmed for season 3
I'm very glad you gave credit to colorists and other part of the creative teams, I knew Klaus was drawn by Dan Mora who is one of the few Costa Rican comic artists in mainstream comics atm and it was a huge surprise to hear that Doug Campos was the colorist, that man was my teacher in several Uni courses, so fucking sick, I love that man, one of the best professors I've ever had
Kill Six Billion Demons (when it's finished), would make for a nice show. Its a webcomic, but it has printed editions of complete books published by Image comics. Great action, fun story and funky world. Tom Bloom/Abbadon is a creative man and seeing his world in motion would be lovely.
Speaking of his work, seeing content from his Lancer, ICON, or Magnagothica settings would also be cool
I'm a simple man: I see Radiant Black, I click. Radiant Black and Ultramega deserve the Invincible treatment. But I think they should wait until the whole story is complete. So far it isn't and I'm waiting for the new issue but Radiant Black is so freaking cool and I'm glad people are recognizing it
SAME
Loool i think Ultramega is a bit TOO grotesque
What really sucks nowadays, is that some indie comics DO feel like it's a pitch or a beautifully illustrated bible for a TV show. Geoff Johns' and Gary Frank's Geiger 6-issue series feels that way, and now is being turned into a live action series for Paramount+. A lot of the characters and storylines really felt underdeveloped on purpose so on meetings with the networks they could say "This could be an episode" or "We could go deeper on this in episode 6" on those parts. Now with the "Ground Zero" and the Geiger ongoing series it seems like they're trying to fix those flaws. Let's see if that works out.
I think indie comics (in the sense of not-Big 2) are the ones that inspire me the most in terms of being a writer, possibly because I feel, most of the time, they're much more of a pure passionate creative vision than what a lot of the Big-2 stuff end up becoming sometimes. Obviously, someone's run in Batman isn't inherently less valid than the same person's own indie comic, but if they thought the story came to a point where an important character should die, they might not even be allowed to do that on Batman, but on their own comics they can do whatever they want.
I’ll never forgive that jab at Spawn.
Troy deserves the Invincible treatment :)
You got it! (proceeds to get the shit beat out of me)

Sorry, i had to do this 😅🤣
I really hope the indie comic character "Batman" gets adapted at some point. It feels like he deserves it.
Imagine the hype if they do the red hood saga, man if only
Not a chance. Wouldn't be popular. Rich crazy guy fighting other less rich guys?
"I Hate Fairyland" would probably be super cool as a animated series on AdultSwim
I love Invincible esq comic adaptations cause it gives a viewer who hasn’t read the comics an idea of what the story is so they can read the comics and see the difference in the story is. It reminds me of Scott Pilgrim Takes off how it almost felt like a sequel to the comics and the people who watched the movie are now even more inclined to read the books since it will give them a reason to read the original story from the author themselves. It’s why I love OG Dragon Ball’s manga over the anime cause it’s a clear vision of the authors art style and story telling method. Rest in Piece Akira Toriyama
I just finished reading Compendium 1 of Saga, and I have never read anything more suited for a TV show adaptation. That's my #1 most wanted adaptation.
You know? I think I would enjoy a Snarlagon animated series too. He looks like some sort of combo variant of Godzilla and Gamera with a hint of Astro Boy thrown in. That sounds like a show that pays homage to Kaiju Genre movies and shows.
4:49 you also have to randomly say “and that’s why…” in places where it makes no sense
As others have said, Bone absolutely deserves an animated adaptation, either a film trilogy or a TV series. An animated Chew TV series would also be incredible, would have loved to see that animated film (ironically starring Steven Yeun as Tony Chu) that was in the works a while back.
Getting into comics as an adult and being a big animation fan. I so desperately want more animated versions of indie comics. There's so many different stories that deserve more attention plus, a ton of them have beauty artwork/styles. I feel like most people don't appreciate non anime looking art styles anymore, and it's a shame.
Im in the same boat of becoming an comic fan as an adult thanks to Invincible and the Walking Dead. Didnt even know indie comics was even a thing. I knew of Spawn and Hellboy but I thought they were DC
A modern day ben 10 would go crazy
Facts
A sequel to Omniverse is my number 1 hope.
Couldn't agree more. A modern day Generator Rex would be nice too. Imagine if they actually make a crossover between Ben 10, Generator Rex, Invincible and Firebreather.
@@onepresence9460facts but unfortunately CN owns Ben 10 somehow WB needs to buy it from them. Ben 10 was basically gonna be DC he already has crossovers with Superman etc it wouldn’t be hard at all to have all the alien species in the background of a movies or shows like green lantern. And I was devastated when they gave up on generator Rex.
@@saucymongoose7246man of action is trying to do it rn or do a ben10k series but CN is giving them a hard time…as usual
Lucifer(dc), The invisibles, hell boy, sandman all deserve proper animated adaptations.
Radiant black is so prime for an animated adaptation it’s not even funny its literally what if Spider-Man was invincible and a power ranger😭😭😭 I need to see this
I would like to see adaptations for Irredeemable and Incorruptible.
Irredeemable is both a love letter to old wacky Superman comics while also being a horrific deconstruction of what happens when said Superman goes nuts because everyone placed the burdens of the world on his shoulders solely because of his power, not his fortitude. You can bring the whole Evil Superman thing full circle with the Boys being a more grounded Evil Superman Story, Invincible sitting comfortably in the middle, and Irredeemable being just a straight-up comic book with all the weird and fantastical elements you'd expect to see.
As for Incorruptible, I'd like to see the main character Max Damage be voiced by Sylvester Stallone. I liked him as Nemesis in Samaritan, and his performance after the big twist reveal reminded me a lot of Max Damage.
This is sorta unrelated, but you may or may not have heard of Ricky Ricotta’s Mighty Robot. Its made by Dav Pilkey, the same guy who made Dog Man and Captain Underpants. Even though its more obscure, i feel like a animated movie based on the comic with that sort of spiderverse-esque by dreamworks would be really cool to see. I haven’t read the books in a while but it does have a more action focused tone, still having some of that juvenile humor of captain underpants. Considering they are making a dog man movie, it’s not completely out of the question. I do love its anime influence in setting and the design of the robot. It’s very clearly based on the Iron Giant
14:05 days of future past jumpscare
The Walking Dead is a prime candidate.
The Walking Dead with good writing like that first season would’ve been incredible. They should reboot it as an animated show - but with tweaks to Kirkman’s writing.
@@firstlast9846 just follow the comics more and it’ll be better
I would love a TWD cartoon. Imagine if it's in black and white instead. It would be so cool :)
Is it? Nah.
I know this isn’t a indie comic but I really want an IDW transformers adaptation in the style of invincible because the comics themselves are kinda hard to get since IDW transformers collection vol 1 is $250 on Amazon and since IDW lost the license there’s really no other place to get them so doing a adaptation to one of the best transformers interpretations would actually be so fucking awesome.
Dude PLEASE do more indie comic recommendations! I’ve heard of “Something’s killing the children” but that shit sounds right up my alley (don’t take that out of context). Keep up the great work man!
An Infamous animated adaptation series would been cool since it was published by DC and its tie-in sequel before Infamous 2.
I always thought Astro City would be the next comic-to-adaptation superhero story for the streaming services. But Netflix’s bungling of Jupiter’s Legacy proves that not everything needs that treatment.
Man what I would do for a astro city adpatation I would love if the voice cast are actually done by many of the actors who played the characters the astro city characters are based on like having Samartian be voiced by say Jack quiad or Brandon routh for example
I love Astro City! It's such a cool comic with rich lore and worldbuilding and interesting characters. It would be a great animated series, if done correctly.
A book I would love to see get an animated adaptation and achieve mainstream popularity is "The Antagonists" written by Tyler Martin with art by Giacomo Guida, Matteo Illuminati, and Matteo Illuminati. It's the story of a Black family of retired supervillains that actually do a lot of things popular superheroes already do like murder, (I'm looking at you MCU heroes and movie Batmen), only they do it in the name of Black liberation. Often juxtaposed with the superhero teams deliberately made to be the whitest people imaginable. People say the story is like the Boys meets the Sopranos, so it's a good story for television.
If I may add to the pile of comics that could be translated well into a different medium: I vote for Diesel, written and drawn by Tyson Hesse.
Sonic fans know that name VERY well (he's the guy who helped fix his movie design, along with many animated features with the hedgehog), but not many know that he created his own book under BOOM! Studios and it seems like a really fun time!
It's a story set in a Steampunk/Pirate world where there's flying ships, a dark undercity, a utopia in the skies and the main character Dee, is trying to find her father's airship (at least, that's what the synopsis for the first novel told me).
Even if I haven't read the comic quite yet (that's going to change, trust me, I'm just poor), I would LOVE for this to be adapted into a cartoon.
A show, while made for kids, is something the whole family can enjoy. The closest I can compare it to is shows like The Owl House, Avatar or Infinity Train with their unique fantasy worlds and interesting but fun characters.
As of right now, the thing I'd be most excited to see brought to life is the art, because HOT DAMN, this world looks pretty! It leans HEAVILY into the steampunk look, where the designs of architecture are bronze, clunky and industrial looking and the added pirate design blends just...so well together.
The character design reminds me of something like Scott Pilgrim, but with dynamic proportions like in Rise of the TMNT.
All in all, I think this would be a FANTASTIC animated show...and I swear to god, I'm going to find this book. THEY SAY IT'S AT BARNES&NOBEL SO I'M HOLDING THEM TO THAT.
There's too many to count. Bone, Cerebus, Savage Dragon, maybe a reboot of Spawn or the Mask. Hellboy. Maus, Black Hole and Concrete could easily become animated movies(not even gonna touch on all the nsfw stuff like Lady Death, Purgatori, Witchblade or Cavewoman). At least Elfquest is getting an animated show, i hope it does well, just knowing what the creators went through was so inspirational...
If I could pick any comic to get picked up in this way it’d have to be SAGA
the second i read the first issue of radiant black I was like "well I can't wait the animated series in like 5 year hopefully" we must have it
As a huge fan of 90s indie comics i gotta say, a scud the disposable assasin cartoon in the spiderverse style would be the greatest thing ever.
Man, when you described Canary I immediately thought of a good friend of mine who would love it, going to have to pick it up for her birthday.
I would love to see an animated Radiant Black show. That would be absolutely amazing.
I've only heard of a few of these comics and now I definitely have to update my reading list!
I read through the Invincible comic as the 2nd season was coming out, and I think one aspect of the 'Invincible treatment' that I enjoy the most is how the series gets updated and revised.
not in the 'elevating the medium' way, cause the comic is good as is, but like you said, certain aspects and characters get expanded and fleshed out, and I'd credit that to both time and hindsight on the original creator's time and the benefit of a writing team to bring new insight and perspectices into it. for a medium like comics where it's usually one main writer working with an editor, it makes the biggest difference when it comes to story.
in case this comment wasn't long enough already, one piece of media that I'd want to see get this treatment is the canadian superhero webserial 'Worm' by J.C Mc.Crae or Wildbow. It is really similiar to Invincible in that it's an expansive cape story that deconstructs and reconstructs aspects of the genre in a usually more gritty way- in fact it's my first love when it comes to R-rated superhero media.
It would benefit so much from both a visual adaptation and a 'second-take' ideally with the creator involved. I'd love to see what can be done from taking it from a chapter-by-chapter written serial to a full-fledged series with a team behind it and a substantial animation budget.
The comic rogue sun is in the same universe as radiant black and also deserves an animated adaptation
Some of your choices for Indie comics that deserve animated projects are excellent picks I die to see animated adaptations for comics like Radiant Black, Klaus, Public Domain or Kick-Ass.
Another comic I think would be cool to see get the Invincible treatment is Blacksad, a neo-noir detective mystery comic set in a world of anthropomorphic animals that got a Telltale-esque videogame a couple of years ago. I think the style and stories and grounded stories could really be powerful and dark stories with gorgeous art. If they keep the grim, noir and realistic tone while tackling issues of social class, exploitation of minorities/poverty, government corruption in the era of the Cold War, and so much more, it could be really good and impactful.
With Keith David voicing blacksad
I’m a massive Blacksad fan! It’d be so cool to see anything, a show or a movie.
Blacksad would be incredible for an animated series. Great suggestion :)
I would personally love to see Astro City getting animated.
These comics do deserve the Invincible treatment
I wholeheartedly agree with all you said, especially considering there are so many comics out there no one even hears about due to the majority-takes-all dominance created by the big two (also good to see so many of these comics, especially being so many are on my to-read list :D)
But, being that I have just come off reading issues 1-54, I also think the masterpiece that is "Saga," by Brian K. Vaughan, Fiona Staples, and Steven Finch falls into a very similar niche as The White Trees and I oh so truly hope it gets the "invincible treatment" of an adaptation!
Any of the stories from, "A Cold Place Between The Shores". It's an anthology comic book that I would honestly love to see any of the short stories within it be adapted and expanded upon. I love all of the different prompt ideas for the stories that seem to be dying to be expanded into longer running series or mini series. It's also a really indie comic and seeing it and any of the authors who contributed to the book get some love would be great.
Obviously the focus here is Indie stuff, but when it comes to the Big 2, there’s one character I think would be really well suited for direct adaptation like this. Wally West’s 90s-2000s Flash runs are designed in a way that’d work really well for an Invincible style adaptation. He actually gets tangible long-term development with a big, consistent supporting cast and a TON of great stories the whole way through. He goes from arrogant hothead, to caring husband, to goofball father, and all the while growing to fill Barry’s shoes and even surpass him. He’s kind of perfect for a longer show directly adapting his comics.
You did mention it but my pick for an Invincible style comic show is American Vampire. Just how they handle vampire lore and it's own characters given the setting of America across various time-periods is awesome to me.
I’ve been meaning to check out a good amount of these. Of the ones I’ve already read: Head Lopper, Something is Killing the Children, Radiant Black are all incredible books.
I also wanna recommend that people check out East of West, Deadly Class, and anything with Jeff Lemire if his the art is something you vibe with and if not read his collaborative work.
I also give special mention to Paper Girls which got a love action show from Amazon with a likeable cast and seemed to have passionate people behind it, but the budget wasn’t there to properly adapt it
I know that the comic shouldn’t have gone on as long as it did…BUT I would like to see a I Hate FairyLand animated show. I also would like Hellboy to get an animated show WITH Ron Pearlman voicing again.
When it’s all said and done, I think Tynions new Deviant comic would be wonderful as a tv show, live action or animated
4:22 I need that adapted
Funny how so many of these books are Scott Snyder and his students lmao. We’re getting 2 seasons of Snyder’s Witches sometime soon so that’s an indie that may blow up. Also a Sex Criminals animated show would be crazy.
This was another great video I definitely will be checking these books out and I liked how you talked about how the Invincible treatment can benefit the comics industry as a whole because before Invincible came out I had very little knowledge about the comic but the amazing first season motivated me to buy the compendiums and read the entire series in a little under a week just showing how effective these types of adaptations can be and whenever a comic creators stories get more exposure it’s a great thing for both the audience and the industry at large
Other shows that deserve the invincible treatment
Early to mid 2000’s era Spider-Man, Deadpool, Idw Ninja Turtles, Hellboy, and Kick Ass.
Ok, in a similar but ultimately unrelated field, I really want marvel to start doing animated movies of some of their less iconic but still popular comics. Similar to the DCAMU and DC's animation team where they had their whole animated schtick, mostly out of continuity, I want marvel to do that. Like, my main wish is an animated trilogy/tetrology around the Krakoan era of X-Men but some other wishes would be Zdarsky's daredevil, maybe a series of short films based on Kurt Busiek and Alex Ross's Marvels, a series of a few films covering the major events from just before civil war through the end of Siege (so Civil War, Secret Invasion, Dark Reign and Siege), Spider-Man: Life Story, and I would be saying X-Men Lifedeath here if we weren't already getting that in TAS so instead I'd like God Loves, Man kills
La Borinqueña is THE Puerto Rican comic. That comic definitely deserves an adaptation. 🇵🇷
8:36 could't agree More
Thank you for taking about SIKTC it's one of my absolute favorite comics of all time and more people need to read it. I would also like to see Plot Holes get an adaptation it's about a group of characters from different books being pulled from their own book and having to edit/kill characters from other books that are causing continuity errors.
I would love to see Secretman the shadow knight being adapt on a animated show the designs of those characters are insane🔥👀
Every comic deserves the invincible treatment tbh
Execpt stuff like saga that was made to be unadapted
I agree. I personally think that animation is the perfect medium to adapt comics and graphic novels. There's so much potential.
It's not a comic, but it's certainly indie, my most wanted superhero adaptation would be Worm. The story is a web serial and it's easily the best superhero story I've ever seen, and I'm saying that as someone who loves superhero comics and movies. The basic set up is a bullied teenage girl with the power to control bugs gets mistaken for a villain her first night out trying to become a superhero. That barely scratches the surface though, since a lot of what makes the story as great as it is would be kind of spoilery (like where powers come from).
I was scrolling through here hoping i would come across a fellow Worm fan, you get it.
Yes! Worm would be a great one! Imagine all of the stuff animated. The possibilites are endless.
More people need to check out the webcomic Strong Female Protagonist. Its my favorite comic because of its great exploration of its characters and the deep philosophical questions it asks. The story follows Alison green (formerly the world famous superhero Mega-girl) after she tries to retire from being a superhero and decides to go to college to find a different ways to save the world other than punching giant robots. I would love if this comic got an animated adaptation but I doubt that will ever happen.
I love the design of the radien guy
Hack/Slash. High potential for invincible treatment. And a friend of mine sugessted Jenna Kenell as Cassie Hack. (Personally, I'd prefer laura lavera)
There's a lot you can do with this property: Horror Cameos, Horror Homages, etc. But I don't know what route it should take.
I know it’s not a comic, but Christopher Paolini’s Eragon and it’s sequels would be brilliant to see as a TV show or series of movies. The first book is a bit generic but afterwards it gets good and most characters are really good and many have great arcs (Eragon and Murtagh 🔛🔝). The worldbuilding is class and seeing the magic system implemented into an animated or live-action setting would be class. Anyways, nice video bro. I got to check out Tyson Andrews.
A Radiant Black show would become my new personality.
Also Kyle Higgins is one of the coolest, nicest most humble creator I have ever met, and I want all the best and money for him.
I would love a Radiant Black show. I've been a huge fan of Kyle Higgins after his work on Power Rangers. Radiant Black was also great.
I would absolutely love more comic recommendations. You and you're videos are amazing! 💓
I personally need to see East and West, Saga, and Blacksad adapted at some point. Rich universes, and great character writing that would be great shows.
I think what this made clear to me is that the "Invincible treatment" is essentially just the manga-to-anime treatment. Invincible could be a big turning point in having American comics (and western comics generally) get animated adaptations. someone is definitely knocking on Brian K Vaughan's door begging for Saga right now
You should do a part 2 to this video, there are a lot of indie comics that also should be adapted with the Invincible treatment such as Cowboy Ninja Viking, and Firepower.
I LOVE TROYOBOYO AND WAS WAITING FOR HIM TO POST A NEW VID AND I'M IN MY INVINCIBLE PHASE RIGHT AFTER MY NIGHTWING PHASE THIS IS PERFECT
A Radiant Black animated series would be absolutely sick because he's such an interesting and underrated character. Another underrated character who needs more attention is Firebreather he's a character in the image comics invincible universe. It's about this a young boy Named Duncan Rosenblatt trying to navigate highschool while dealing with fighting monsters. Duncan is a half human/half Kaiju hybrid torn between two worlds. There's a lot you could do with this as he has so much potential. There was a Cartoon network movie but his comics haven't been continued because the writers don't know what to do with him. An animated series could revitalize the character and give him more depth then ever .
Thank you for inspiring me to start working on my own comic book story, Troy.
Biggest thing that deserves the Invincible treatment is probably Clockstriker. Feels like manga made by black creators giving the feeling of Saturday morning shounen.
For real thank you for these types of videos 🙏🏼🙏🏼
We really need a radiant black animated series
this is the first place that i found out about Radiant black thank you so much man you have earned yourself your sub after i have seen 2 banging videos from you
I wouldn’t mind seeing an animated Preacher series!
The live action was pretty good, but deviated from the comics quite a bit from what I remember
I love to see the book "Something is killing The Children" get an animated series. It's so dark and mysterious and I feel like a animated horror series would be dope!
finally some made a video like this. i want a i hate fairyland cartoon or a giant days one
I love I hate Fairyland. It's so good!!!
Both would be incredible cartoons. The art styles fit perfectly for animation.
Omfg We love Radiant Black and it’s nice to see it get a shoutout
Love the videos. Keep up the good work
The shots at Mark Millar at the end of the video😂😂
one of these companies should just bite the bullet and adapt Homestuck, it'd print infinite money
I'd go feral for some kind of project set in the Astro City universe
Great video! And I especially love how you said they don't all need to be adapted, and some of the best may never be. Hell, there's a ton of them that probably CAN'T be, for one reason or another, including rights. I mean... could you imagine the legal nightmare in doing an Amalgam Cinematic Universe? Though if they could AT LEAST have Pete Ross aka Spider-Boy make a cameo in Beyond the Spider-Verse, oh man oh man...
Also, maybe this is just me, but there's NEVER a bad time for Christmas anything. Sometimes I feel like I'm living in a world of Scrooges and Grinches. Although I also sometimes feel the need to point out that Mariah Carey didn't create Christmas music. Why are they never defrosting Elvis Presley or Bing Crosby or Gene Autry or Kelly Clarkson or Brenda Lee or George Strait...
U put out so much quality work every other day. How do u do it man❤
