Comic Book Radio Serials?

[theDemonJackal]

So, a few nights back I was messing with voices for new recordings, and came out with a dash kinda douchie voice. No idea what to use it for but I enjoyed it. Then, something hit me. With the large amount of comic book movies coming up soon(like age of ultron and the like), and the amount of potential radio serials they probably made in pre-war times(Fallout series):

I say why not have a radio station with some of the pre-war episodes of these radio serials? Like Daring Dashwoods adventures except with famous heros from the fallout popular culture?

Including the likes of La Fantama, Grognak and Captain Cosmo.

Hell include some propaganda heros just because of the war. The point is, why not sit back and enjoy the stories with a nice nuka cola and some sugar bombs?

Plus, lets face it. Sometimes we just want to enjoy the exploits of some other adventurer, and not deal with the craziness surrounded our own lives.

This sounds fun. Kind of like The Adventures of Herbert "Daring" Dashwood (or "that guy and his ghoul follower") from Fallout 3. :)

Exactly my point. Something like that, three episodes per character and some based on the magazines you find in game so its kinda lore friendly. (I dont know if its 100% but I would say its like 75% lore friendly). Like:

• ¡La Fantoma! who is clearly a woman could be a spectre/Batman like character or based on Black Orchid(whome the cover is based off)
• Police Stories could follow a dick Tracy like character and his adventures.
• Captain Cosmo could have a Zap Branagin like attitude and his trusty Monkey Sidekick could be like an ultra intellegent monkey that prefers diplomacy over his friends shoot first attitude.
• Grognak could just follow grognak and his battles with his enemies (there are like so much enemies in the grognak series mentioned in the fallout games. Its crazy)
• Anything after that would just be some new material, maybe a new radio serial about a caravaner and his adventures(like dashwood)

Captain Cosmo strikes me as a kind of swash buckling type hero, sort of an Indiana Jones of outer space. Zapp Brannigan is kind of a dolt and mostly comedy relief in my opinion.

[theDemonJackal]

Hmm, space pirate works too I suppose. I just kinda imagine Dashwood in Space when I thought of Cosmo.

And Jangles the moon monkey, don't forget Jangles. If you come up with something solid, I'll draw or make some Captain cosmos posters for you.

[Morgwynn]

Hmm I wonder if Jangles would have actual dialog.? . . . That would be tricky voicing a chimpanzee I would think unless he can speak like Caesar or Koba from Planet of The Apes. It would probably be a challenge I would think.

[theDemonJackal]

Its a sci fi show, so he can speak. Thats kinda why I originally saw Cosmo as something of a headstrong adventurer, so Jingles would be a calculated intellegent chimp...that can talk.

Think Monkeys from madagascar.

"I say we go in phasers blasting!"

"That is your solution to everything Captain....And a rather moranic one at that since these are a neutral race."

"Thats right Jingles...these creatures have destroyed their manhood so nothing distracts them....from evil."

"Not neutered! Do you hear yourself talk?"

"I dont have to take this from a being who throws their own poop at people."

"I am going to die next to an imbecile and I only did that once!"

I like this idea a lot. According to the Fallout Wiki, one of the terminals in the Hubris Comics building reveals that the AntAgonizer was originally their creation. There's a few more Hubris comics mentioned too if you're looking for other ideas. I know they never went in to production, but it's not too farfetched for somebody to discover the writings and finish & publish them.
