Superhero Comics 101

[url=http://www.denofgeek.com/tv/comic-book-tv-shows/33601/35-upcoming-comic-book-tv-shows-and-when-to-expect-them]Den of Geek have a rundown of 50 Comic Book TV Adaptations that are coming up[/url]

Some renewals of existing series, some are spinoffs thereof. Others yet new and intriguing prospects.

Seems unlikely I'll watch all of them (hell, despite quite enjoying what I've seen, I've struggled to commit to watching DC's superior TV series. Dunno why!) but I think that so many are being done now shows the depth of the comic book industry, even within the two biggest publishers (DC and Marvel, natch)

I want a Shuma Gorath tv show where he kicks the sh1t out of cthulhu for not being eldritch enough.

Seems that's the future of the genre, at least in the short term. A lot of comic series are getting canceled in print, but could probably make it as a TV show.

Going to cross my fingers for an Angela show with Angela and Sera kicking nine kinds of *** across the mortal realms.

I'd love that too, not enough female led shows either - only supergirl really. Could do with a few more at least.

Angela: Queen of Hel ends its run this week. Pretty good last issue, leaves it open for more stories, but still works as an ending.

The really weird thing is that they mention at the end of it that they knew it'd end at issue 7 back in November... but that would mean either the first issue sold terribly and they didn't think it'd improve, or it just wasn't planned as anything but a rather limited run. Meh.

Also trying to figure out if Ms. Marvel's still going. This week's issue closes with "End" and no preview image for the next issue or anything, and it feels like it might have wrapped up that story. It'd be sad if that comic closes up, too. (At least she's still in the All-New, All-Different Avengers, but it was fun reading her misadventures with friends and family. Also, seeing Loki referred to even by Carol Danvers as a "hipster Viking," and two kids trying to summon Loki with a symbol on the floor using cups of Starbucks as points of a seven-pointed star and two smartphones in the center... no other comic can give me that.)

Yup Ms Marvel is solicited up to July which is as far as solicits go currently. They won't cancel it, her physical issue sales are very good and her digital and trade sales are HUGE, like some of Marvel's best sellers bar none.

[Mr Mystery]

Bigger than 'Pool?

[eldargal]

Not sure, but in the months a Ms Marvel trade has been released its either been the best selling trade of that month or Marvel's best selling. One of them ranked #2 on the New York Best Selling graphic novels list as well.

[Mr Mystery]

Nice.

Is that the one where it's not Carol Danvers, and instead a choice of character that probably peeved some Republicans?
