Netflix to start a Bone animated series

[HMARK Center]

After all these years, it's FINALLY happening.

This pleases the Great Red Dragon, and all people of good taste.

Kickass

I used to have that Bone One Volume edition, and could never make it all the way through. Whatever the appeal of the comic is that makes people call it a classic is lost on me personally.

That being said, when this comes on Netflix I will at least watch the first episode to see if I enjoy it in a different format.

Definitely disappointed to read that this isn't about Bone Thugs-N-Harmony.

One of my all time favorite comics!! I even had the computer games they put out a few years back. With this I feel of you didnt start reading it when you were younger certain things dont click as well with you. Its one of those things where as you got older the story also got more mature. The early part of the story is more kid comic and by the end its a very dialogue driven comic. Disney Advebtures would publish it every month as their comic section then once the Bone cousins reunited they stopped. So I had to go out and start picking up the comics.

So, will this include Britney Spears songs and celebrity voices?

That's what killed a deal years ago with Nickelodeon on a possible series.

Bone is kind of like that; the vast majority of people who read it only read about the first or second parts of the series, where the tone is silly and absurd since it's about three characters exiled from their community and one of them is a con artist constantly trying to make money, with minor villains wanting to enjoy quiche. Then, as you progress, the series' tone shifts to a more ominous and grim tone when it focuses on the forces of humanity and the creatures of darkness.

I do still remember reading Bone in Disney Adventures as a kid, then years later finding other editions of it at book stores. I own the one-volume edition, it really is something special.

Kind of remarkable that Nickelodeon couldn't figure out how to do it right; the network that pulled off the Avatar shows really should've had little trouble pulling off a fantasy epic like that.

Honestly, though, I hope they handle the voice cast well; the dialog in the books really gets the characters' voices in your ear, despite being printed words. The Bone cousins alone are amazingly distinct, but I badly want to hear the voices of the Dragon, Lucien, Rose, etc.

That was exactly how it went for me too, introduced through Disney Adventure then found a couple books at the bookstore a few years later. Love the book ever since.

I got nothing of substance to say.

This is a book that I always wondered if people actually read or if Wizard magazine just made it seem important.

LOL yall making me feel older than I am. I was in high school when Bone started. Once the first trade hit,the b/w one,I grabbed it and read the series pretty much until the end.
