7 Image Comics Series Crying Out For A TV Show

7. Injection

Injection from Warren Ellis, Declan Shalvey and Jordie Bellaire, follows a team of scientists once brought together to plan for the future of Britain. Finding that the future has stagnated, the team decide to change that. We pick up with them years later, when their interference has taken on a life of its own.

The series is actually a look at traditional British fictions and science fiction in particular, like Quatermass, Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Who, while also looking at classic myths and legends. So as a TV series, it could work as a kind of semi-anthology series, with each season focusing on a different member of the Injection team and on a different form of classic British sci-fi.

Moreover, the series plays with some interesting concepts, as the antagonistic Injection AI actually narrated the first story arc in the comic, ultimately finding the 'frequency' that allowed it to speak directly to Maria Killbride so she could hear it. Could you imagine a narration on the TV show that suddenly the characters could hear? How much of an unnerving twist that would be?

Injection would allow for some fun experimentation with the form.
