The Thing: 2010 is the almost completely unknown sequel to Stanley Kubrick's all-time classic that I've never been able to get into, 2001: A Space Odyssey. It's based on Arthur C. Clarke's sequel novel, 2010: Odyssey Two. It seems that Mr. Clarke saved his creativity for his work and not for his titling.

The book is"¦Look, it's a sequel to 2001. Do you really think I'm going to be able to give you a summary that makes any degree of sense? Also, Roy Scheider's in it. So he makes another appearance on this list.

The Comic: I know what you're thinking. Why did Marvel adapt 2010, and not 2001? Actually, they did. In a Jack Kirby miniseries that introduces Machine Man. It’s also maybe the weirdest Marvel comic of all time. Weirder than this.

This one is kind of overshadowed, because, as odd as it is, it doesn’t start as an adaptation before introducing a character who would later be in Nextwave.
