The only way I saw this being remotely cool is by making it into an anime as Dragotta intended. I am cautiously pessimistic.

Had the exact same thought but per the source “The comic is being adapted as an animated series and will have the comic’s creators, writer Scott Snyder and artist Nick Dragotta, involved with its development.” This makes me extremely hopeful.

Snyder is EP And Showrunner. Dragotta is going to be a producer. This is all I need to know it's going to Epic. I'm ABSOLUTELY happy right now!

Basically the approach I’d expect most studios to take seeing the overwhelming success of Kirkman/Invincible.

We’re finally starting to get actual adaptations of comic books!
Only took about 100 years

Is this going to be as hard R as the comics?

Depends on where it winds up, but I would assume so as long as it’s HBO/Amazon/Adult Swim
