Comic fans got some good (or at least promising) news yesterday, with word that two of the best series in recent years — The Walking Dead and Fables — will be turned into video games. They're a...start. I guess.

But they're not enough! While Hollywood seems hell-bent on turning every obscure graphic novel it can find into a two-hour blockbuster, video games are - big names like Spider-Man aside - reluctant to explore comics in the same way. Maybe it's because there's less ground for exploitation, maybe it's because lots of comics won't "work" as a game, maybe devs simply feel they can do better at world-building that comics, who knows.

Fact is, all those assumptions are wrong - especially the world-building one - and there aren't enough comic book video games. There should be more. Starting with these.
