Ignition City | 15 Comics That Deserve TV Shows

Published

Perfect for a TV miniseries, Ignition City (written by Warren Ellis who has worked on such comics as Hellblazer, Iron Man and Transmetropolitan) is set in an alternate 1956 in which World War II was interrupted midway by a Martian Invasion leaving the world in a kind of Bioshock-esque dieselpunk but also kind of Fallout-esque atompunk world of space travel and dusty vehicles inspired by the works of Ray Bradbury, the TV series Deadwood and the legendary science fiction world Metropolis.

Ignition City may work better as a film due to it being far more contained a story but also requiring a budget that TV might not be able to grant but I’d like to see this purely because it is so different from any other comic on the list and so different from any show on TV. With such a broad eclectic range of influences that it shows off so stunningly it would certainly make for a breath of fresh air.

Personally I see Ignition City working best as a miniseries consisting of three hour-long episodes which should be able to tell the entire story well enough, ideally with a good creative team who are able to bring the pages to life as opposed to turning it into a more straight-forward science fiction.

The downside to an Ignition City miniseries would be that as it was such a short story by comic book standards there may not be a lot of mileage out of it. It would likely be a one series job, not that this is necessarily a bad thing as there have been plenty of shows with short runs that concluded and are still very good and well loved in their own right.

Even though trophy support for older games on PS Plus Premium isn’t always great, you can always count on Sony’s first-party games to have it.If you like collecting these digital trinkets, you’re in luck, because today’s big PlayStation Plus update includes two classic games that can now be used to earn Trophies.

Each trophy list for Ape Academy 2 and Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror includes the platinum cherry on top. You can look at their respective listings here and here if you’re interested.

The list for Dark Mirror appears to be quite simple—you can basically earn them all by finishing the game. The trophies in Ape Academy 2 appear to be a little more complicated, requiring you to complete particular objectives in card battles and advance to specified rankings. Nonetheless, it doesn’t seem too difficult, so we’re looking at a couple of quite simple platinums.

Ridge Racer: Type 4 is this month’s other premium classic game; sadly, it does not offer trophies. But it makes up for it by being a complete banger.

However, will you be obtaining some of these trophies with a nostalgic flavor?

Beautiful New Book Teaches About the Art of Horizon Forbidden West

This year, Sony produced some truly outstanding work, releasing four high-profile games on the PS5 and PS4 (not to mention the numerous PC ports). The earliest of these, Horizon Forbidden West, arrived in February of 2022 and got the year off to a strong start. One of Aloy’s sophomore journey’s greatest strengths, among the many other things we like about it, is its excellent art direction. The Art of Horizon Forbidden West allows you to now delve deeply into the game’s visuals.

This coffee table book, which was published by Dark Horse Books, contains 200 pages of concept art and developer commentary. It provides an inside look at the process used to develop engaging characters and settings, and Forbidden West is certainly not lacking in either.

Bloody hell, it took a while, but The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt’s long-awaited PS5 release date has been announced. The updated role-playing game will go on sale on December 14th, and CD Projekt Red reiterates that PS4 owners can get a free PS5 upgrade.

The “next-gen” game will have a physical edition at a later, as of yet unspecified time.

Though we still lack specific information about what the current-gen version will offer, don’t worry; it appears that all of our most pressing questions will be resolved soon. Next week, the developer says, will feature a livestream that will feature gameplay and more details. Hence, something to anticipate.

But in all honesty, we’re just relieved that this PS5 edition won’t be delayed any further. Will you play through The Witcher 3 again right before Christmas? Post your thoughts in the section below.
