1. Starman

Perfection. Starman is one of the best comic book series of all time. It’s engaging and rich and characterful and beautiful and makes me cry and laugh and it’s the BEST. And it’s already built around a single unifying theme, like most great TV shows. In this case, that theme is Legacy.

Starman is about the Knight family, specifically youngest son Jack. Patriarch Ted Knight used to be the hero known as Starman until he retired. Decades later, he passes the torch to his eldest son, David, who’s always wanted to be a hero. Jack, ever dismissive of his father’s “lame” history, is sarcastic and eye-rolling at his brother’s excitement to become Starman. But when David is killed on his first night as a hero, Jack must take up the mantle to avenge his brother, and to eventually become the hero Opal City deserves.

Starman is absolutely wonderful. If you haven’t read it, do that right goshdarn now. With its cast of characters and full series arc, it is a ready made television classic complete with all the twists, turns, heart-stopping joy and bone-crushing sadness you’d want. And it’s sitting right there, ready to go.
