Is There Such a Thing as ‘Too Many’ Comics-Based TV Series?

With the recent pick ups of “Riverdale” and “Powerless,” the list of comics-based television programs is growing at a rate that would seem absurd even two or three years ago. Two “Walking Dead” shows, three shows based on Vertigo properties, Outcast, Powers, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., six DC shows, Archie’s Riverdale, and all the Marvel Netflix shows.

This is not the first time that an older property has been relaunched, but this feels like one of the most carefully considered reboots of the modern TV era. There’s a lot of nostalgia behind the original X-Men: The […]
