11 Most Anticipated Comic Book TV Shows Coming In 2018

7. Constantine

Despite its problems, NBC's short-lived Constantine TV series had a lot going for it. Matt Ryan was formidable in the lead as the eponymous Hellblazer, and the show did a decent enough job of adapting the fallout surrounding the Newcastle Crew from the comics.

It wasn't enough to save the series from cancellation however, and as it became clear no network was willing to pick up the show, Hellblazers everywhere grew anxious that this would be the last they'd seen of the character, save for a long-gestating appearance in the on again, off again Dark Universe film. The CW saw sense in bringing the character back though, dropping Matt Ryan right in the centre of the Arrowverse and raising everyone's expectations for an on-screen revival considerably.

While the live-action series fans have coveted is no closer to happening than it was a year ago, Ryan's Constantine will grace the airwaves once again with an animated series of his own. Airing on the CW Seed, the show will tie into the previous NBC show and his subsequent appearances on Arrow, hopefully in a more faithful way than Goyer and Daniel Cerone's initial project.

Hey, as long as he smokes and has his sexuality acknowledged, it'll be a vast improvement over the original. Bring back Angélica Celaya and Emmett Scanlan as Zed and Jim Corrigan respectively, and you have a winner already.
