IDW: A Look at What's Being Planned for TV Adaptations

Here's a look at some of the comics being adapted by IDW into TV shows:

Dark Spaces: Dungeon by Scott Snyder and Hayden Sherman

"TELL NO ONE" what you find in a secret torture dungeon. Or the previous owner might come back. Scott Snyder and Hayden Sherman reunite for this installment of the Dark Spaces horror anthology. A family moves from the rustle and bustle of the Big Apple to upstate New York. However, their father's dream of a quiet rural life are shattered when he discovers a DUNGEON underneath their land, filled with torture devices, weapons, and a threatening message on the wall that reads, "TELL NO ONE." Paranoia sets in rapidly as the father realizes anyone in his new hometown could be the dungeon master. Who can he trust? And how will he keep this secret from his family while keeping them SAFE? From the creative team behind the acclaimed Dark Spaces: Wildfire comes another dark tale of intrigue and the bad things people do.

The Kill Lock by Livio Ramondelli

If one dies, they all do! Banished for their crimes, four robots are bound to each other's fates in this sci-fi graphic novel. Each found guilty of an irredeemable crime, four robots find themselves banished from their home world and bound together by the Kill Lock–a programming link that means if one of them dies, they all will. Now a soldier, an addict, a murderer, and a child find themselves forced to protect each other while in search of a cure to survive. Their only clue is a bot known as The Axial, supposed to be the creator of the Lock and keeper of its secrets.

The Delicacy by James Albon

Rare and delicious fungi spell trouble for an ambitious restaurateur in this sumptuously painted graphic novel from one of Scotland's most imaginative young cartoonists. Tulip and his brother Rowan have left the simple comforts of their remote Scottish island with a plan: to grow succulent, organic vegetables in an idyllic market garden, and to open a restaurant serving these wholesome culinary delights to the busy sprawl of London. The world of fine dining seems impossibly competitive… until they discover a deliriously scrumptious new species of mushroom. The dish brings diners in droves, catapulting their small restaurant to success beyond their wildest dreams. Now, pressured by the demands of a hungry city, Tulip is desperate to crack the secret of their new ingredient's growth. But just how much will he sacrifice to feed his own insatiable ambition?

Brutal Nature by Luciano Saracino and Ariel Olivetti

A collection of masks transforms a young man known as Ich into innumerable different beasts and monsters. Using this ancient power, he embarks on a battle that pits the indigenous people of Colombia against the encroaching Spanish empire. But can one man hope to beat back the massive forces of the conquering Spaniards? In the sequel, the scene shifts to a cold, shiny, and somehow even more ruthless future where a group seeks to use the power of the masks for personal gain. Will a new warrior emerge, one that can lead the people against the forces of oppression? Luciano Saracino and Ariel Olivetti bring readers a stunningly illustrated story of beasts and men fighting for the soul of a nation!
