Which comic is this? I'm seriously thinking about getting into more comic books once I graduate so recommendations would be really appreciated.
Let me think...
1. The Bindi Babes series by Narinder Dhami - I have yet to read all three books, but I loved the last book Bhangra Babes. I have read it multiple times and I still find the jokes funny and really love the characters. The story is very much centered around the relationship between the three protagonists, who are sisters, and their relationship with their 'interfering' auntie. I think book series would make a great series of comedy movies, provided that a racist, sexist white dude is not in charge of scripting, directing or casting the movie because the series itself avoids stereotyping Indians and women.
2. Leviathan series by Scott Westerfield - I have yet to finish the final book (though not because it isn't enjoyable), but I would love to see a trilogy made of this series because the director would have an interesting and complex world to work with. It would be difficult to make it come to life, but I think a great director could accomplish it. I would also love to see some of my favourite characters from this series come to life, particularly Deryn who is my forever girl and would probably set a great example for a lot of young women who want to enter the military or careers that aren't considered traditionally feminine.
3. Victoria and The Rogue by Meg Cabot - Because rather than being in awe about Western society and comparing Britain positively against India (where she has been raised by her bachelor uncles), Victoria spends a lot of the book criticising Western customs. I don't think the author did that ironically because Victoria constantly talks about what a huge and positive influence her Ayah has been in her life and she constantly criticises the sexist attitudes of the British, Victorian culture she's entered into, particularly when it nearly gets her into a whole lot of trouble.
Seeing and hearing Victoria's sassy narration of Victorian Britain would make my life. And would make a lot of racist nerds weep.
Plus, Victoria is a fantastically flawed and well-rounded heroine and I love what the author does with the main couple in this series. You actually root for them to get together because the author shows that the male protagonist has a personality that suits the heroine, without compromising who she is and what she values.
4. Does My Head Look Big in This by Randa Abdel-Fattah - This may not make a great movie because there are several little sub plots in the book, but I think if the script writers picked a few key story lines it would make for an interesting and enjoyable movie. Plus, Amal is my forever girl. I would weep for joy if a non-stereotypical muslim, middle eastern female character got her own movie.
5. Twin Freaks by Paul Magrs - because seeing a woman with disabilities being the main character (who does not have her personality defined by her disability) of a movie would be fantastic and think a lot of people would get a kick out of how the author satires television shows like Pop Idol.
