Top Ten Tuesday: (At least) 10 Comic Book Adaptations That Are Worth a Watch

by Luke M.

While perhaps not the highest regarded medium of telling stories, it's hard to deny the massive impact comics and graphic novels have had on both literature, and pop culture. Whether it be crime-fighting superheroes or depictions of real-life events, comics have established themselves as an innovative way of storytelling, with some even winning prestigious awards (Art Spiegelman's Maus won a Pulitzer Prize in 1980).


Because of the widespread appeal of these books, it's easy to see why TV/film producers will reach out to these companies to pitch adaptations. Some of these adaptations will become fan favorites that will be highly regarded by both fans of the source material and average tv goers, others… simply don’t. Regardless of the quality of these selections, it’s important to give some adaptations a chance, even if it’s not exactly like the book. This is why, I present to you (at least) 10 comic book adaptations worth watching, in no particular order. Also, I’m not including any MCU or DCU content; let's give some other works their time to shine.
