Every week, hundreds of new comic books hit the local shelves. Many of these are long ongoing titles while others come and go quickly, being mini-series or one shots.
Last fall we visited a bunch of the books and titles that had options or media deals that have not gone beyond the option or if they did, they’re still in the wee early stages of ever getting turned into a show.
This is where we dive into the books that either haven’t been optioned or if they did, it’s long expired that we would all love to see and welcome being adapted into a television show or movie. Welcome to Part II of Books We’d Love to see Adapted.

Man I need money. I need money to buy this book. The Spread combines a couple of things I loved growing up, The Baby Cart Assassin movies, also known as Lone Wolf and Cub, the looks of the Lone Wolf and Cub manga, and John Carpenter’s The Thing (by the way, if you know Swedish, they tell you in the beginning of the movie what is going on, a spoiler without ever knowing it.)
