Would you rather your comic be adapted into a TV series or a movie?

[Kyosu]

I think mine One of Us it's better for a series like adventure time or steven universe because the story follows what's happening on the present while the past is told in little pieces like the first page of a chapter or during a dialogue. All this makes a mystery which is tipical of the 2 animations I told.

I really do like the idea of Cosmos Song being adapted as a move or TV show, but I would only feel comfortable with it if I had 100% say on how the entire show/movie would go down. I know that sounds silly but i've seen enough comic and video game adaptivities of movies to know what happens when Hollywood gets a hold of them :S HEHE!

The Angel with Black Wings will probably be a 2-part feature-length movie. I don't like live action ones and I prefer animation like Studio Ghibli. (I'm waaaay too ambitious for my own good.)

For Model Student, definitely a tv series. Maybe 20ish episodes with a few OVA's and then be done with it. lol xD

[TheVoidchildProject]

If want Voidchild to be an anime series just so I could get a ridiculous upbeat j-pop intro and a slower paced j-pop outro! The content of the show could be like whatever if I got that.. *_^

If it were a movie, I'd worry it'd turn out like the first spider-man movie with Tobey Maguire where they tried to cram too much stuff into one feature.

SPEJS is episodic (every chapter should be able to be read as a stand-alone story), so I'd like to see it as a TV show =)

[Shanny8]

Truthfully- neither. While TV shows are better suited for story telling format for comics, the flip side is if the writing staff is capable of translating from the book to the show well or in most major cases- will the small TV budget allow for stories/special fx to tell epic sized storylines.

Where as with a movie, the budget is there(most those type movies have a cost well north of $175 million), but you have to condense your story into a 2-3 hour format; therefore the story cant be told at the pace that it needs to be and a lot of stuff gets sacrificed- even with trilogies.

Also not to mention in both platforms there is also the issue of creative control. With TV shows, the creator may retain a little more control, but with most movies the creator usually loses control(and in some cases, it was a good thing as the creators were not equipped to deal with the process of their work being transformed into a movie or trilogy franchise).

For Rooftop Bookshop? A show definately, I can't imagine making a comedy slice of life movie would be an easy endeavor. That and it is a bit episodic rather than one long running story.

For (Semi) Super... That might be better as a movie. There's more action to it (or at least there will be, I don't have too much of it up now haha)

I would rather turn my comics be turned into an animation, since that's how I see everything in the planning phase. Not so much to put on TV, but just as a for me thing. Nothing would make me come back from the dead faster than seeing my characters, and the environments actually move.

The only thing that sucks is that I have no idea where to start. I can do animation myself (have some experience with using Adobe Flash), but it would be fully traditional so I have no idea what paper to use and what not. Nor do I know where to start, or how to start for that big of a project, not to mention the requirement for voice actors and sound effects. Animation has a lot of stuff going into it.

I think swipe city is more suited to be a Tv show than a movie. but given it features physical punishment in places it's hard enough marketing it to this generation as a comic, i dont see it becoming a box office smasher. it would be pretty cool as long as like in the comic i get the role as the Mayor.

[Kayke]

TV show! I'd love to see my comic as an animated series <3
I feel like a movie would have to cut too much stuff out, and while the end result might be cool, it wouldn't really feel like the same story. That's how I feel about the Scott Pilgrim movie.

[Greg_Dickson]

I think most people here would agree that a tv show would suit their comics better. Unless you have a short series, you're obviously going to want all of the details in your comic represented as a TV show. Also, if you have a longform comic, you'll definitely need the extra room to tell your story without condensing it. For me, Don't Be A Hero would definitely work as a TV series, since it's longform. I've got a large diverse cast of characters, and a movie just couldn't develop them enough in such a short time span. With a TV series, you can make as many episodes that you want, giving you all of the opportunity in the world to properly tell your story.

[WakaXO]

You make good points, releasing creative control is the biggest down fall to this scenario, no one wants their hard work to be ripped apart and pieced back together. And if you do, will you be comfortable relaying on other writers/artist? And even if you get the best of the best, as you pointed out the buget might now be there.
Though personally I would still bite the bullett, just to see how it all works out. (I am a glutton for punishment )

[VermillionWorks]

Daniel would work best as a movie, I'd think...or at most a mini series.

[Aspie_Gamer]

TV series pls. Maybe if Netflix starts hosting more original animated series....

[Ringarune]

For mine a TV series would be the only possibility, mostly because there's no way a movie would have a long enough run time to fit everything into. Even for a TV series it would end up having to run long to fit everything in. Realistically though, it would be a miracle to actually get something adapted at all XD I would have it most likely animated since it's just not realistically grounded enough to really work with real life actors. I'd also stick with my personal style for animation ^^

[Starfestival]

Either one. Depends on which gave me the bigger budget. The finale has to be bat shit crazy to end my stuff.

[R.n.P]

To become a movie would be impossible plus I heard that a movie has the same name as my comic so it would be strange
Bet as a series it may work but I doubt they can get the action scenes I depict well unless its animated
THE LAST SAMURAI

[WakaXO]

It would be super cool to get a Netflix exclusive show!

[WakaXO]

Haha playing a role as a character is an awesome idea! XD
