Adaptations Done Right detail the posts about comic adaptations given the proper treatment. Most adaptations usually try to copy characters and concepts word per word. Often this leaves them feeling hollow and without meaning. Some adaptations however make the experience easier by simplifying, expanding, and adding more stakes to their source material.
