When it comes to graphic novel, video game adaptations, there might not be a company that did it better than Telltale Games<\/strong>. The studio that brought the world The Walking Dead<\/em> and The Wolf Among Us<\/em><\/a> also took a trip into the more well known super hero comic world with its adaptation of the Batman<\/em> story.<\/p>\n

While Telltale Games<\/a> might have dipped its toe into the graphic novel adaptation waters, there are still plenty more out there, just waiting to be adapted. When talking specifically about an adaptation of a story that doesn’t center around superheroes, the best part is that there are new stories to be shown off. While superhero stories are well known in the comics world, there are plenty others that would do quite well if they were introduced to the gaming public.<\/p>\n

The first graphic novel on this list just begging for a video game adaptation is Saga<\/em>. The story is one that might feel a\u00a0bit reminiscent of Star Wars<\/em><\/a>, though it’s quite a bit grittier. While there is indeed an interplanetary war at the center of this book, there’s also a very touching romance going on. To that end, this one might be even better if it was done up similarly to Mass\u00a0<\/em>Effect<\/i>. One of the best aspects of Saga<\/em> is that while the heroes are certainly memorable enough, the villains have plenty of character as well. They’re arguably even more three-dimensional than what sci-fi fans have seen in baddies like Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

Revival<\/em> is an interesting graphic novel<\/a>, because while it doesn’t center on superheroes, it definitely has people with some serious powers. Set in a Wisconsin town where dozens of people returned from the dead, this isn’t a book that can easily be put into one category or another. There’s a little bit of horror, a little bit of mystery and a little science fiction mixed in for good measure.<\/p>\n

When it comes to a video game adaptation of this book, think of something like The Walking Dead<\/em>, but without the zombies. There’s a little State of Decay<\/em> mixed in there too<\/a>. There are monsters, or demons, or ghosts as part of the story as well. The mystery aspect of this story, especially, could be quite fun for gamers to try and unravel on their favorite console.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

The final graphic novel on this list almost already has a video game adaptation in certain ways. Like Mutant Year Zero<\/em><\/a>, Elephantmen<\/em> features walking, talking warrior animals. Unlike that video game, the graphic novel features animals that were created in a lab to fight a war, rather than mutated in a post apocalyptic wasteland. The book’s story actually centers both on the wars these creatures fought and what happened when the war ended and they tried to find a way to meld into civilized society.<\/p>\n

There’s a couple of different ways a game based on Elephantmen<\/em> could be successful. It feels like this could be a real time strategy game, or it could be an adventure game very much in the same vein of The Wolf Among Us<\/em><\/a>. It actually seems like the perfect project for the recently resurrected Telltale Games studio.<\/p>\n
