10 Non-Superhero Comics You Didn't Know Were Becoming Films And TV Shows

10. Trese

The first ever Netflix original anime based on a Filipino comic, Trese, by Budjette Tan and Kajo Baldisimo, is an ongoing black and white noir horror-fantasy title following a supernatural detective who watches over the hidden monstrous underground of the city of Manila.

Trese does a lot of things that many comic fans would find familiar in occult detectives like John Constantine, but with a unique Filipino folkloric and cultural flare, with the titular Trese being the youngest daughter of four brothers. She's also the heir to the family business of dealing with the supernatural that she inherited from her father, and an almost crime-boss feel to her position of power in her family and the city.

Her stoic competency is balanced out by the more exuberant personalities of her half-god bodyguards called the Kambal (literally, Twins) - who, even with superpowers, face masks, and guns, are somehow less threatening than their human boss, Alexandra Trese.

Finding ghosts murdered and gods causing trouble, with nuno (dwarven) coroners and tikbalang (horse-headed humanoid) drag racers, and owning a night club where supernatural beings gather, Trese creates a world audiences are sure to love seeing animated onscreen when it comes out on Netflix.
