There is no shortage of television and film adaptations of comic books. For seventeen years, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been going hard, often having a couple movies out every year post-Phase 1, and once it committed to Disney+, the MCU began turning out television show after television show. Meanwhile, DC has just kicked off its new cinematic universe, the DCU; however, they have been making films and TV shows for decades.
Even on the independent side, there have been notable adaptations of comics, like Image Comics’ The Walking Dead and Invincible. There are also plenty of adaptations in the works, specifically for horror comics.DC, for instance, announced Natasha Lyonee would star in a horror movie based on DC Comic’s Basketful of Heads by Joe Hill, Leomacs, Dave Stewart and Deron Bennett.
Meanwhile, several years ago, Netflix adapted Joe Hill, Gabriel Rodríguez, Jay Fotos and Robbie Robbins’ Locke and Key, and that went of for three seasons. There are plenty of other adaptations of horror comics in the works, including the following four; meanwhile, one adaptation seems like it may not see the light of day at the time of this writing.Something Is Killing the ChildrenPerhaps one of the most anticipated adaptations in the works from Netflix is Something Is Killing the Children by James Tynion IV, Werther Dell’Edera and Miquel Muerto.
In the acclaimed BOOM! Studios’ comic, the children of Archer’s Peak have been going missing, and while the adults are at.
