kind of disappointed that saga will never be mainstream. it's unbelievable how underrated this comic is. so beautiful and smart and comic that completely captivated me. if you haven't read it yet, then you are missing out on a lot.

sean bowman Say what? Even before the horrible show aired, I would've asked,"what are you thinking?" Inhumans? The comic book that's a race with X-Men like abilities and a royal family team at the core? The mad brother that is their biggest villain? They've never had a successful comic run in their own in the history of the characters. How is it like Saga? Romeo and Juliet it is not. *Sorry, maybe Tristan and Isolde it is not, the Inhumans that is. And I was really bummed at the money that was wasted on that show. Money like that should've went to make something like Saga.

As much as I agree with you, I can't see it happening. The only way, I mean the ONLY WAY, that would happen is if Netflix animates it in partnership with one or two other prolific animation studios.

It don't always has to be Netflix, Adult Swim can do it, Hulu is trying to step up their game in streaming, and Amazon if they were smart.

I like the Creator thoughts on adaptation. Not everything has to have a show or movie. Just because your favorite story doesn't get the exposure that you want doesn't change how much you love it.

Honestly, do we really need this comic adapted? I feel like there are plenty of comics that shouldn't be adapted to TV or film. Some things only work in a certain medium.

You know what? After seeing Doctor Strange in the five months after I made this comment, I'll just say go for it. Make it a movie.
I'm fine with that... until I saw mentions of an animated series. Sold.
Sooooo animated series...
To be honest Brian Vaughan and Fiona Staples might be low key down to do a movie or show adaptation in the future. Brian says no now, but I feel like they want to focus on completing the story and conclude it all together before moving the franchise forward to a much larger audience. I dont mind that there arent any adaptations atm, because preproduction is a hell of a procress and the authors have to meet with scripwriters constantly; sacrificing their own time from finishing the actual comic story. Thats what happened to George RR Martin.
If Gintama can be adapted then anything can be adapted
No one talks about this comic enough

Saga is too good not to be adapted and as for the budget they adapted Game or Thrones and Amazon is trying to make a Lord of the Rings TV series.

They said many things were unfilmable and yet they got filmed.
Video Game Adaptation, The graphics would look off the chain
Saga is just amazing
It would work as an animated series on Netflix or Amazon probably
That Journey screenshot at the bg ❤️
It is best for comics to have their cartoons exactly like manga and anime, and writers must be strict in writing their story as a cartoon.
i think lazarus would make an awesome tv show

There are recent statements from Vaughn that say he is more open to a film or TV series. So it is possible.
I just read issue number 1 and immediately bought issue number 2
It has the potential! 😭

Lazarus is pretty good, I picked up a few volumes.

Them make it a small anime me and my boyfriend look just like those characters
I thought it could be an animated movie. But good for him. I agree stop complaining & make something better.
he never said never... on the back cover of volume 1 he is quoted as saying they are open to it, but it is not a priority. I see the series ending before literally any adaptation will be made. some fact checking is a good thing...
These hosts could do a segment called 'Why don't chicks like me?"

They said the same of GOT. Give it 10 years and i bet HBO will give it a show.

Mark Strong for the Will
So happy I bought a issue 1 first print. I love this series and I think it would cost way more in 3 or 4 years when it becomes more popular
*I'm still mad at The Will..*
Never say never
why couldn't they just animate it?
sadly none of BKV's comic series have had success on tv..... and a Saga TV or movie series will cost an arm and leg for the studios to make, so high doubt they will make it even if BKV changes his mind down the line.
Man, I just got 2 copies of issue 1 back from cgc graded at 9.8 and still have 1 raw copy. It would be my luck to find out they are making some kind of show right after flipping one of them as the news would surely drive the price up on them.
This comic will go down as the best Comic of all time, eventually supplanting Watchmen in terms of popularity by a wide margin. And it will all be because an eventual mediocre TV show will come out, drawing fans to the comic to spoil it for themselves at the end of each season. (I really hope they go with animation)
I would pee my pants if it got turned into a movie
Like one man say you are what you are

But we dont want to.....
GOAT!
I like Saga
i dont think anyone wants to make it in a show/movie though. sure its cool, but its nothing we haven't seen before.
I still dont have any intrest in Saga glad i put a BKV signed #1 up on ebay never even cracked it open to read

After the hype of invincible, hopefully Saga is adapted into an animated series.
I sure as hell would've rather a Saga show have gotten the money that Star Trek Discovery did. With shows like Legion and American Gods this past year, the right creative team and show runner could make this the best adaptation ever. Netflix, HBO even Showtime, basically a company that isn't afraid of the sexuality this book brings. The way the books are written would work very well episodically imo. But I don't want a dumbed down, or half the best characters cut out motion picture, that wouldn't do this amazing book justice. Just as Watchmen and Y are often considered in the top 100 works of modern literature, Saga should be as well.
