Vijf Horror Franchises die als comic verder zouden moeten gaan

De website Fearnet.com was zo vriendelijk om te brainstormen over welke horror franchise als comics verder zou moeten gaan. Eerlijk gezegd ben ik het heel goed met ze eens, want met een beetje creativiteit zou Freddy Krueger of Saw gewoon in comic vorm verder kunnen gaan. Maar mijn favoriet is geworden:

pBioShock

If you were to ask me which genre universe I'd prefer to explore as a writer, I'd answer, almost without hesitation, the sunken metropolis of Rapture. The world of BioShock is so rich in atmosphere and mythology that there's virtually no fictional setting in either gaming or cinema more captivating, more terrifying, more gothically gorgeous. Sadly, BioShock 2 felt to me like a wasted opportunity, an uninspired narrative within a setting simply brimming with inspiration. It strikes me that comics might be the perfect medium to continue the degradation of Rapture, both backward and forward in the timeline. There's a rich history there, as well as a fascinating future, and with a world so visual, so rich, so vast in detail and construction, a prolonged comic book series, in the right hands, could prove to be a licensed classic.
