Have you seen comics or video game adaptations you found well done? What about them worked for you? Or if they didn't, how did the shows fall short?

Mod Post: Off-Topic Tuesday
Feb. 17th, 2026 09:15 amicon_uk posting in scans_dailyIn the comments to these weekly posts (and only these posts), it's your chance to go as off topic as you like.
Talk about non-comics stuff, thread derail, and just generally chat among yourselves.
The intent of these posts is to chat and have some fun and, sure, vent a little as required. Reasoned debate is fine, as always, but if you have to ask if something is going over the line, think carefully before posting please.
Normal board rules about conduct and behaviour still apply, of course.
It's been suggested that, if discussing spoilers for recent media events, it might be advisable to consider using the rot13 method to prevent other members seeing spoilers in passing.
The world situation is the world situation. If you're following the news, you know it as much as I do, if you're not, then there are better sources than scans_daily. But please, no doomscrolling, for your own sake.
Today marks the Chinese New Year, so Happy New Year of the Fire Horse!
It's also Shrove Tuesday, or Pancake Day if you prefer, so enjoy!
Toy Fair 2026 took place in New York, with nostalgia being mined to a level I don't think I've never seen before. Licences getting figures include the 1977 Battlestar Galactica, the original Duck Tales and even the 80's Tigersharks cartoon (Think Thundercats, but more watery).
Credit to Hasbro though, for announcing their 40th Anniversary celebration of The Transformers: The Movie by announcing their apology tour! :)
Sentai's first successor: "Gavan Infinity", a new take on Space Sheriff Gavan has debuted and... he's very shiny, isn't he?
Legendary screen actor Robert Duvall passed at 95 and better known for his TV work actor James Van Der Beek passed at 48, and I overlooked mentioning Catherine O'Hara's passing a couple of weeks back, but she more than earned an honourable mention.
I'd completely missed that there were a couple of trailers out for "Monarch: Legacy of Monsters" Season 2: The first, and the final
Also, as I type this the news is coming in that Jesse Jackson, one of the original Civil Rights champions of the 60's has passed away at the age of 84.
But not to end on a down note, the first kākāpō chick in four years hatched on Valentines Day, the first of hopefully many to arrive this year to help bolster a critically endangered species. (Kākāpō only breed ever 2 to 4 years, and there are only 236 left, so it's a long slog for the poor things)

SGA: on purpose by dedkake
Feb. 17th, 2026 04:21 pmmific posting in fancakeFandom: Stargate Atlantis
Characters/Pairings: John Sheppard/Rodney McKay
Rating: Teen
Length: 2492
Content Notes: no AO3 warnings apply
Creator Links: dedkake on AO3
Themes: Inept in love, Pining, Five things, Friends to lovers
Summary: The thing is, he hadn’t really meant to say it. Not then. Not there. He hadn’t really ever even thought about it before, not in such specific terms. So, it’s as much of a shock to him as it is to anyone else.
or, Rodney's trying so hard and John just doesn't get it.
Reccer's Notes: This is a fun read that makes you want to hit them both upside the head just a little. Rodney keeps telling John how he feels (or trying to), and John keeps missing the point each time, so they're both inept in different ways. Until they aren't!

Summary: Aziraphale knows that Crowley is in love with someone. He just doesn't know who.
When he asks him, it doesn't go quite as he planned.
Reccer's Notes: A cute little fic where Aziraphale asks Crowley who his sweetheart is, and Crowley is flabbergasted that Aziraphale doesn't know. Its in character, I could have seen them having this discussion after season 1.

The Two Stages of Grief: JUSTICE LEAGUE AMERICA #40, 42 (JLI 57)
Feb. 14th, 2026 09:20 amtcampbell1000 posting in scans_daily
We last left the JLA in the aftermath of the Despero battle. A few hundred people were dead, and one of them was, apparently, Mister Miracle. Giffen, DeMatteis, Hughes.
( The greatest trick the super-escape artist ever pulled was convincing the world he no longer existed. )
