Strangers in Paradise would fill several seasons worth of an HBO drama, but I digress...
Heh. But it *would* be fun to watch, wouldn't it?
I love Bendis' work, so I'd say that Alias or selected storylines from Powers would be awesome.
Oooh -- or Jinx or AKA Goldfish! Have you read them? They're his hard-boiled crime classics, the pieces that really put him on the map in the first place. Much more self-contained than his Marvel work, and *very* cinematic.
And as for comics that have already been optioned for film, I'm omg-get-a-fire-extinguisher-my-pants-are-on-fire excited about We3, and I really hope it doesn't die on the vine.
*Blink*. I hadn't heard about that. I'm having trouble imagining it, I confess -- marketing it would be a sunnuvabitch. I mean, I can just imagine all the parents going, "Oh, look -- a sweet uplifting movie about intelligent animals!"
And of course while researching this, have discovered that two other favorites, both by Brian K. Vaughn, have also been optioned: Y: the Last Man and Ex Machina. Hold me down. Seriously.
Excellent choices. Indeed, Ex Machina continues to be incredibly timely, and would make a *great* film. Although it may have to wait until the story finishes. I mean, we're only up to 2003 so far -- about a third of the way through, far as I can tell...
