    transmetropolitan was ever irrelevant?

    I’m still shocked, SHOCKED that it hasn’t been grabbed by SOMEONE to adapt into a TV show.

    It’s basically a no brainer for either Amazon or HBO. Amazon already did Preacher and The Boys. and AMC did Preacher

    Tangentially, Fox did Y the Last Man, and HBO did Watchmen sequels, Watchmen proper already got adapted, Netflix did Sandman…

    What’s fucking left from the adult comics boom of 80s-00s ? Shade the Changing Man? Animal man? The Invisibles?

    EDIT: All I can think of is Warren Ellis’ stuff, and the OBVIOUS one is Transmet. Sure, you can try the authority or global frequency, but transmet seems the more grounded, beloved and perpetually relevant one.
