@AnneComics All that plus Power Fantasy 3, the Micheal Walsh triple feature of Nullhunter 1, Frankenstein 3, Sacred Damned 1, and new Black Label horror with Green Lantern Dark!

@KyleDHiggins @comicskirby That’s what I thought. Makes sense, thanks for the info. Congrats on all the success by the way. Projects like Deep Cuts are so cool to see!

@comicskirby @KodyCollect Not true. It’s not connected to massive verse at all. It’s entirely it’s own thing.

I have to say it again: Creating a comic as a proof-of-concept for adaptation is disrespectful to the medium. Comics are not your storyboards, and they’re not a lesser medium to be used as a springboard for adaptation.

@comicskirby lol everyone in the DiscussingFilms thread is pumped. If there’s a chance people turn into weekly comic readers how are these projects ever bad Sounds like at their worst you just don’t like series youd never read anyways, and hate POSSIBLE speculators for series you wouldnt buy

@KodyCollect There can certainly be outliers to the rule, I just have not been moved by any books that use this method to sell books.

@comicskirby Like, I still haven’t heard *your* opinions on some of these series, just hearsay? I actually read this stuff! Came out recently, Moon Man #1 was pretty good too! Will it ever be a movie? 🤷‍♂️ who cares? Made for a great first issue though

@comicskirby I guess people can’t possibly have passion projects, or understand the basics of story and characters. Couldn’t possibly team up with an experienced creator to translate it to the page with great results. You’re right, it’s always bad, even though you werent gonna read it anyways

@comicskirby If I had talent, or thought I did, I might say f it and help write a comic out of one of my ideas. Sounds fun. At the end of the day what I tend to look as is if the comic turns out good or not. Ignore the noise/obvious money grabs, read the good stuff, and ignore speculators🤷‍♂️

@comicskirby Haha yeah I mean the 8/10 is subjective and I wish some examples weren’t so old. And I thought we were talking about the fact that they were getting made explicitly for adaptation. Who am I to say a person can’t write or a comic shouldn’t be made because they have name value?

@comicskirby Yeah agreed. I guess if they’ve written one thing it’s ok, or what’s the line? Paul Dano killed it writing a Riddler series. Anything other than BRZRKR that you can point to that was *for* adaptation? Feels weird to assume intent when literally nobody knows+comic might be good?

@KodyCollect We are not going to agree on the points made. I will keep an eye out on the release of this book, and the reception it has along with seeing if and when they announce the adaptation. My OP was my initial impression and thoughts about this trend

@comicskirby So if they’ve written one thing it’s ok, or what’s the line? Paul Dano killed it writing a Riddler series. Has there been other things besides BRZRKR that you can point to that was for adaptation? I can’t really think of others. Still unsure why it’s all bad in the first place

@KodyCollect There’s a trend of these books being created with celebrities as “co-creators” and as soon as Issue 1 drops, they announce it was greenlit for film It’s a trend that happens, and the majority books tend to be bad. Sandberg is a writer, Esposito is not and has no writing credits

@comicskirby And at the end of the day, is the only thing that’s bad possible speculation for a first issue? Doesn’t seem that bad to me but idk

@comicskirby It just seems like a generally pessimistic way to look at it all, when you could just ignore it and only read the good one? From what I’ve seen, you’ve only really pointed out BRZRKR as a series that has may or may not done this explicitly for adaptation.

@comicskirby And does any of that matter if the comic is good? And if they’ve never written a comic, that means they never can? What if they’ve written more than you think? At the very worst you get a mid comic series. Or you get a series like The Holy Roller that’s actually pretty good.

@comicskirby What a weird take to have. This argument literally falls apart if the actor in question has no ulterior motives to adapting it to screen, which I guess you’re assuming they all do from the start?
