> there are rumors (confirmed by Applegate!) that there's a graphic-novel adaptation that is sort of in the works -- Scholastic has at least solicited artist applications!

Will it be as dark as the book? Ya know, children deaths, a baby screaming until it dies, all aliens being assholes, ect.
I dunno if Animorphs would make a good comic.
What I remember, there was a lot of introspection.
Plus, with the exception of the Megamorphs books, they only followed the cover character's perspective in first person narration. Usually starting off like "My name is Jake..." following through with blatant exposition - because you couldn't expect people to have read all the books to know about those dog-cyborg aliens wearing holograms or the fact that Yeerks are allergic to oatmeal.
So its like, you'd witness an ordinary conversation between brothers on the surface. But you'd have narration boxes on every panel to provide context.
>Bother is possessed by alien slug.
>Can't let them know that I know.
>Descriptive sensation of morphing into an animal.
>*Caution. Birds of a feather flock together (That's why we're flying miles a part, because we all have different morphs and it would look unnatural; a dead giveaway we're the resistance)
>Panel of a fly on the wall *das me*
>Page where they momentarily lose control to their animal brain and waste 15 mins eating shit.
Next to the context boxes you'd also need a countdown clock for when un-morph or be stuck as an animal forever. 'Cause when they weren't mauling aliens as tigers and bears, they were just a snake or something in the air vent, needing a place big enough to un-morph and re-morph without getting caught.
I remember the books having some pretty heavy shit for YA faire. This was pre-Harry Potter so there was very little "Chosen One" bullshit, it was more "kids who happened to be there at the time, realizing how fucked they are."

Also, it's 2017.
Would they keep it set in the 90's without smart phones and text messaging?
I mean, so much of the conflict for the team was maintaining their individual social cliques. But still meeting after school at the Library or Internet Cafe- but today's smartphones and social media kinda makes all that a non-issue.
But at the same time, they'd have to make more excuses for being unreachable and coming home late.
And not responding immediately.
