I like your list.

I also dig Moore and Gaiman. I'm not even Garth Ennis' biggest fan although I loved his Punisher run especially the MAX series but I thought he nailed it with Preacher.

yeah, it's pretty easy to get tired of ennis in anything other than moderate doses. haven't gotten around to his punisher run though. how familiar are you with hellblazer? i think his best work was on that, actually.

Is AMC just incapable of making good shows now? i can't believe people legitimately thought they were going to be the next HBO
>>
>>63241618
His Punisher MAX run was great. It seemed to be a perfect character for him and he still had just enough limitation from Marvel on him to keep him from going full well, Ennis.

I hate to say it but Hellblazer is one that I've never read but have been dying to check out.

i'd put y on par with preacher actually, good but not a defining expression of the medium. haven't read it since middle school, though.

the only literally perfect actor to play Spider would be JK Simmons, if only he was a bit younger, but still

only Luba has any appeal to me, and that story with a guy that fucked her casually but I don't remember the name. I just don't find that magic realism that exciting.
on the other hand, I findJaime's, and in particular Ray's, stories flawless and relatable
>>
>>63241402
Ultimatum
Youngblood
Identity Crisis
Fat Squirrel Girl
Watchmen (film)
>>
>>63242347
I like Jaime too I just think Gilbert is much better at writing pretty much anything given his more literary approach to things, Locas is definitely more relatable given the heavy use of relationship drama and the way he uses mundane life situations in his stories, I would need to see more from Jaime outside of L&R(like what Gilbert has been doing for over a decade) but he seems content sticking with just L&R and I don't blame him.
>>
>>63241188
I wouldn't call Preacher unfilmable. It just needs a huge budget, an adherence to the source material, skilled people working on it in every role and producers that aren't going to puss out when people get triggered by all the questionable shit in it. The problem is the film/tv industry as it is now, not Preacher.
>>
I'd watch it

but I've never read the comic

I think they're aiming for people like me

>>63242488
You should read the comic m8, seriously entertaining. It's packed full of crazy shit most of which won't be in the tv show, or if it is, will be done in a very cheap and underwhelming way.
>>
>>63242415

oh yeah how could I forget? in fact, the first thing I ever read from los bros was Sloth, by Gilbert, and I loved it so much. How could I even forget about it, it was so damn good. have you read it?

An adaptation of Preacher on HBO could work. Hell, it could have been great.

AMC lacks the budget, has obviously changed the source material greatly, and will be limited greatly be censors and sponsors.

I'm worried Preacher is going to be raped.

Am I the only one that likes The Boys? I want to see that on HBO...

That's the sucky thing about this. AMC's version is going to suck and we'll never get a decent adaptation.

>I'm worried Preacher is going to be raped.

Well you don't need to "worry" about that, we've only seen a few trailers and they've changed 2 major characters for no apparent rerason with Odin and Tulip. It's a given that Preacher is going to be raped.

So now Cassidy doesn't have freakish Vampire eyes, great. Was Seth Rogan too stoned to remember the details of this fucking story?
>>
>>63242850
I definitely agree.

I would want to see the parodies reworked, but I really enjoyed the book.

If only a premium network that could faithfully adapt it took a chance...

I think a Punisher MAX series would be fucking brilliant. I really want to see the Barracuda arc...

Hopefully Bernthal's Punisher, introduced in Daredevil, is being set up for the MAX series; good casting, I think, and Netflix could do it faithfully. A guy can dream, right?

The first major villains are literally SJWs who think life is better without men even when it is objectively worse. They cut off their tits like Amazons (who didn't actually do that), bully and murder their way across America, and constantly bitch and moan about how oppressive things were while scrabbling around in the dirt for scraps.

You really just can't put Hellblazer on there without mentioning a run (and the obvious best run is Ennis, who wrote Preacher too), and Sin City isn't even close to top 5. Throw Bone on that ho and you good, fuck I would even take out From Hell and put in Morrison Animal Man.
>>
>>63243666
>best run is Ennis
Respectfully disagree. Though Ennis run started off strong, it dragged on a lot like Preacher did due to him being overworked by Vertigo who demanded more issues than he had planned to write due to popularity, and I've always felt Constantine is at his best with Jamie Delano at the helm.

Transmetropolitan is unfilmable. The trailer for this looks like shit.
