Cartoon Network Developing Three Comic Book Titles Into TV-Movies!!
I am – Hercules!!
The Cartoon Network is developing three comic book titles into TV-movies.
“Firebreather,” an Image title from creator Phil Hester (“Green Arrow”), is about a son of divorced parents who share custody – a soccer mom who wants him to pursue college and a 300-foot dragon that wants him to conquer Earth.
“Mice Templar,” an Image title from Mike Avond Oeming (“Thor: Blood Oath”) and Bryan Glass, deals with a young mouse who becomes a mystical warrior to rescue his family from rat slave-masters.
“The Vanishers,” an IDW title from author Chuck Dixon (“Batman”), is about a fifth-grader who travels back to medieval England to save his friends.
“Vanishers” will be live action; the others are envisioned as computer-animated. Read all of TV Week’s story on the matter here.

I can't wait - check these titles out if you haven't read them! Thanks for the update, Herc!
-
I'd watch that !
-
C'mon. That was witty.
-
but the other two dont stand out has different enough or groundbreaking enough.
-
suck massive balls.
-
and the boys is already optioned for the big screen
-
and no, that's not a joke. That project was/is in the works.
-
No doubt.
-
Brilliant cartoon! With Conroy, of course!
-
animated. Give me traditional animation.
-
would be the best choice. Anything else, just says "F You" to the audience.
-
Of all the comic properties out there this is the best the could come up with? How about Batman and The Outsiders? If you don't want to pay to use the Batman character have them led by Nightwing like they were in the comics for a time. Whatever happened to the Buffy cartoon? Hell if you can't do Buffy do Fray. Point is there are a million better ideas than this.
-
I think Fables would make a very good TV series that could even be live action.
-
...we must send you limeys some dentists!!!
-
Just make a CGI Mouse Guard and do it as real as you can. Fuck, I'd settle for a Milo & Otis sequel at this point...
-
who gives a fuck?
-
im digging this book. i like oemings art. story, while derivative of (pick your influence) is pretty cool.
they should definitely use his art as a guideline. -
I second this.
Bring this back. I have like 20 on my DVR.
OR they should at least show more than the last 2 seasons. -
Well, thanks for wasting my time, Cartoon Network. Oh, and thanks so much for all these wonderful live-action shows and movies on a frickin' CARTOON NETWORK. Somebody should really start up a Live-Action Network one of these days so I can watch some cartoons on it.
-
Loved the original mini-series despite the flat ending, so I'm looking forward to sitting down with a nice glass of lemonade and watching this.
-
I watch reruns nightly on Boomerang/Cartoon Network or whatever the hell.
-
I will pass on the other two.
-
maybe I'm just getting old...
-
I have them all on dvd, that is the best cartoon series ever, DC done right! those shows make me realize how much Dark Knight sucked!
-
I really hope somewhere, somone is considering making IceWind Dale into a cartoon. It must happen...
-
Three comics nobody reads. Terrific.
-
For reals.
-
No PLANETARY ... they shoul do PLANET TERRY!
-
They did an animated series based on Brian Jacques' Redwall novels. It was fairly faithful to the books, and the animation was decent. The stories were cleaned up and less violent than the books, though. Never heard of Mice Templar, but the plot sounds like Redwall.
-
I don't even know why i bother commenting here at all since you said everything I wanted to.
