Why it won't happen? 'cuz he's an uber villain that's raunchier than deadpool...
Favorite comic.

Totally, Global really deserves another go, even just one-shot stories linked by Ms Zero, Black Mirror did well enough that a sci-fi/tech slated Outer Limits type anthology show could do ok on Streaming
When I first saw a trailer for 'The Blacklist: Redemption' I initially thought it was Global Frequency - I got a little excited

Admittedly, my first response (Buffy, Season 8) was cheating. But, if webcomics were allowed, I would go with The Order of the Stick.

Not live action, but I would love to see an animated version of Bone. Actually, I think Six Guns could make for a great series. I was going to mention Y: The Last Man, but I guess it's already in development for FX.
Oh, I know, Black Science. Would be awesome, won't likely happen because of cost of development.

Its kind of cheating, because we already have Star Wars, but the Star Wars stories from Dark Horse Comics that predate the movie trilogies by a thousand or so years.
I remember enjoying them, but can't recall any specific names or titles, sorry!

You know what, a Deadpool sitcom series that focuses on the daily life of Deadpool and skips over super heroics has the potential to be completely and utterly hilarious XD
I was thinking along only super hero lines but D&D Fell's Five would be a really cool mini-series. Ride it too long and it would fizzle but short bursts would be great.

While it's not a comic per se I'd love to see a live action version of Ninja Scroll.
They're releaseing a live action for Blade of the Immortal which has been at the top of my fanboy wishlist for a while and it's looking baller.
Lone Wolf and Cub 2100 could be pretty sweet as a samurai cyberpunk film. I'd also enjoy seeing Frank Miller's Ronin and while it's a bit dated I'd also love to see an adaptation of the Robocop vs Terminator mini series.
It never really went anywhere as comics but I'd like to see both Spiderman 2099 and Ghostrider 2099 as there was some really awesome futuristic stuff in there, heck I'd love a regular Ghostrider movie if it didn't suck like the Nic Cage one. Dying to see the Punisher series on netflix and praying it keeps up the steam they established in Daredevil.

Prime, because I grew up on Malibu's stuff and I like the character's concept. With a lot darker take on the ' child's wish fulfillment ' angle of kid superheroes.

Live action? No, but I am looking forward to the Incredibles sequel and would love another Monsters vs. Aliens.

I love oots but I wonder if it wouldn't lose a lot in the translation.

I really like a port of Dc's "Starman" series -- the Jack Knight one, but that only really worked in the DC universe as was as the legacy aspect was so crucial.
The Rifle Brigade is a British special forces commando unit commanded by Captain Darcy and staffed with a variety of oddball and at times deviant soldiers from varied British cities and allied nations. The two stories concerns their various covert missions across Europe and Africa and their relevance to the Allied victory.
'Operation: Bollock' in particular focused on the team's diplomatic and action-packed attempts to gain for themselves the missing testicle of Adolf Hitler. It is being held in the small Arabic country of Semmen and is being pursued by many forces, German, American and British, none of which the Brigade can trust.[1]
The American forces are represented by Maryland Smith, a whip-wielding adventurer with the unwanted nickname of 'Mary'.
The Rifle Brigade[edit]
Captain Hugo 'Khyber' Darcy: The Unit's leader. A British aristocrat and combat-hungry officer. Some of his past exploits include calling Rommel a "big nosed witch" to his face. Characterized by a large moustache.
Second Lieutenant Cecil 'Doubtful' Milk: Darcy's second in command. A highly accomplished marksman, hand-to-hand combatant and pilot. Survivor of many incidents in which his side were massacred. Implied to be homosexual, a running gag has the unit surviving a very lethal incident, to find Milk wounded, upon which he submit an escalating series of requests for sexual favors (from Captain Darcy) on him, "like nanny used to do", only to be immediately revealed as faking his injuries.
Sergeant Crumb: Allegedly the largest man in the British armed forces. A man so frightening that his parents emigrated upon his birth. He was institutionalized at the age of one, and later ate his uncle. He only speaks on occasion, and only ever says "Ey-Oop".
Corporal Geezer: A "cut-throat thug" tried for 413 counts of murder, his sentence waived upon posting to the Rifle Brigade. He only speaks on occasion, and only ever says "Yer aht of ordeah".
Hank the Yank: The Unit's demolitionist. A loud American soldier who volunteered before the United States entered the war. Characterized by constantly having a cigar in his mouth, echoing others fictional American World War II GIs such as Nick Fury. He only speaks on occasion, and only ever says "Gawd Dammit".
The Piper: A walking Scottish caricature. Very old, as he is said to have served the Darcy family for five wars. He carries a bagpipe into battle, made from human remains. His playing of said bagpipe has the effect of invigorating the members of the Rifle Brigade, while being extremely traumatic for anyone else. Several enemies have killed themselves upon hearing it.
HBO could be all over that.
Aside from that it'd be cool if the long promised " Y : the last man" show happened.
The poor man really has a stake in the country. The rich man hasn't; he can go away to New Guinea in a yacht. The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all
We love our superheroes because they refuse to give up on us. We can analyze them out of existence, kill them, ban them, mock them, and still they return, patiently reminding us of who we are and what we wish we could be.

I second Y the last man. I don't really think FX is going to do it. People have been talking about doing it for a long time but it is very difficult to pull off.
Another one I don't think I will ever see, Locke & Key. Amazing series.
