This article explains why movies are so bad. There have been a dozen or so money making movies based on comic books. It is obvious, however, how much of a lemming mentality exists in the film industry. Not all of these comics will make good movies. Not all of these movies can be successful if they are made. By the time most of these movies are made the public taste will have moved on to something else.
At least Neal Gaimon and John Shirley will be making money from their graphic novels.
I’ve tried to convince some of my art students at RCC that it would be a cool thing to make one of my stories into a graphic novel.
So far they have not even considered it. They smile as though I am telling a joke. I guess they figure the old computer geek guy could never be cool enough to write a good story.
I think that when I get a chance I will try to storyboard a story and see if someone gets inspire.
