10 Comic Book Series That Should Get A Telltale Video Game

Telltale Games just released the first episode of their adaptation of Batman and it's pretty damn great (read our review to find out why). That isn't very surprising, since the California-based studio has been on an absolute roll ever since 2012's The Walking Dead. Based on the hit comic book of the same name, Telltale effectively managed to streamline the adventure game genre by having it rely less on absurd puzzle solutions and tweaked it in order to appeal to a larger audience.

Preacher

Telltale Games has already had success creating a game that also received an AMC television series, so why not try it again with Preacher? Since the Vertigo comic book (which ended in 2000) is finding a brand new surge of popularity thanks to the show, a video game based on it would make perfect sense.

Even if it didn’t tell the direct story of Jesse Custer, there are plenty of memorable characters to focus on. The potential is certainly there for a crossover hit, it just needs to be properly done and marketed appropriately.

Spider-Man Noir

2010’s Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions wasn’t a great game, but it did introduce a lot of people to Spider-Man Noir. Set during the Great Depression, this alternate Peter Parker has a gun and isn’t above getting his hands dirty. Not only is it an interesting, dark setting for a game, but it’s also a unique twist on a character that everyone’s familiar with.

Spider-Man Noir presents opportunities for Telltale to play with the character’s morality while also allowing for more creative freedom, as less is known about this alternate world.
