GENIUS! I'd pay to see that.

In order of probability, from greatest to least, I myself would like to see...

1) Rich Burlew's "Order of the Stick" as a series of flash animations - fully voiced and original scripts, not rehashes of the comic that's out there. Likely, if only because OotS is an embellished stick-figure comic created with Illustrator.

2) Questionable Content: The Radio Drama. We've got enough voice talents that we could actually do that one... hm. Has someone already tried this?

3) Joe England's "Zebra Girl" as an animated series. Most likely it'd be canceled after only two episodes, leaving you to buy the rest of the mostly-complete first season on DVD... but those two would still be utter genius. Mostly I just want to see those amazing ink drawings of his moving around.

4) Phil Foglio's "Girl Genius" as a trilogy of movies. Or quadrilogy. A series, however you want to put it, there's too much story to cram into one. The steampunk setting would be a special effects designer's dream come true (and nightmare at the same time, most likely), the costuming would be a shoo-in for an Oscar if they could get CLOSE to Phil's drawings, and... well... I'd just love to see Jagers on the screen... *sigh* Pipe dream.

5) Penny Arcade: The Musical. With special guest artists The Protomen, Peelander Z, and the Spoony Bards. `Nuff said!

Am I the only one who sees Dr. McNinja as an opera.

The lumberjack storyline alone would be worth the huge admission cost.

I would love for a Walking Dead Tv series, with a different set of characters, it would be great.
Or WE3 would work well as a movie

I think they should respect Alan Moore's wishes, what really pisses me off is that the new project actually seems to be moving "seemlessly" along, and the guy doing plans on making a SINGLE two hour movie, WATCHMEN WON"T WORK IN ANYTHING LESS THAN A TRILOGY!!!!!! :x

I have to disagree. A trilogy would just have to meander more than the comic does. I mean, the comic itself reads in less than three hours, translating it to actual film shouldn't take any longer. The entire pirate comic can be pretty much entirely removed without really hurting the plot at all (I honestly found said comic to be pointless and just removing one from the story). Not to mention the fact that if they even included it, they'd have to change it to a TV series or something (Can you imagine watching someone read a comic in a movie? A bit much), which would work purists into an epic fit. Watchmen's actually probably one of the easier comics to work into a movie. It's short, self contained and low on the major theatrics, saving on special effects (Hell, Dr. Midnight's the only one with any real powers).

I didn't see anything about Applegeeks when i re-read this.  It would be totally awesome to see either a flash or a cartoon short series based on the Applegeeks comics.
