Mumbling Monday - TV Series To Comic Books

Mumbling Monday

Mumbling Monday is a day of ranting about books or writings.

This week’s topic is : TV Series To Comic Books.

(Some TV series that have continued into comics. 1. Buffy The Vampire Slayer, 2. Charmed, and 3. Revolution)

I am not a lover of books as ebooks but I do find comics as digital is so much better because I am rough on real comics.  They get folded, torn and I run out of spots to keep them. It is a great time for comics and I just don’t mean for the marvel and dc universe.  I am talking about tv shows that ended but are now comics.

1. Buffy The Vampire Slayer  - The t.v. show ended season 7 but the comic has continued and is now on season 10.  So much has happened and there are things that happened that I have seen and realize it was easier to do in comic form then in real life. Also after season 8 Angel and Faith gained their own comic called ..Angel And Faith.

2. Charmed - The tv series ended with a flash forward of the Halliwell witches with children and there is no magic or demons.   Well I think the comic takes place somewhere before no magic and demons or they just changed the future because there is magic and demons.  They witches are trying to handle being parents with magical children.

3. Revolution - The tv series was only on 2 or 3 years but the show ended on a cliff hanger.  The comic is due out soon and is to take place right after the show ended.  I am eager to see what happens.

Something To Talk About - From Television To Book

From Television To Book

It’s amazing these days the things you find out after your favorite show has been canceled or you are caught up with all the episodes.   As some TV shows and movies continue on in book format, like the Star Wars and Star Trek franchises.  Stars Wars and Star Trek has been pumping out books for years and are probably the most profitable series in book format that started on tv.  Some of the tv series continued on in book series as the tv series was cancelled, like Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Angel and Charmed. Then there are series that have books coming out even though the show is still airing, like Doctor Who and Supernatural.

As for myself I am a big Buffy The Vampire Slayer and Angel The Series fan. It is sometimes exciting to know that there are still stories about the series that I have not read. Even though there are no more books being written for the BTVS and ATS there are still so many it’s going to take a while to read. That is unless you count comics as actual books then yes, BTVS is still going strong.

The only thing I dislike is that each book is written by a different author.  So, some of the books end up not written well and the author is not able to capture the feel of BTVS. Most of the time the books are well written, and fun to read.

Are there any book series that started on tv that you read?  What do you like about them?
