James Tynion sadly continues to get more film and TV deals

The Hollywood Reporter says overrated horror comics writer Tynion is getting another film deal:

Comic book creator James Tynion IV and his production banner Tiny Onion has signed a first-look deal with Blumhouse Atomic, the horror powerhouse run by Jason Blum and James Wan.

The deal begins with a bang as Blumhouse joins Tiny Onion and Lyrical Media in working on an adaptation of Exquisite Corpses, Tynion’s best-selling and award-winning comic book universe centered on a serial killer battle royale. The title, which Tynion created with artist Michael Walsh, is being developed across both film and animation.

Blumhouse Atomic and Tiny Onion are already working on a movie adaptation of Tynion’s horror comic Something Is Killing the Children, with Craig Zobel recently boarding as director. The good vibes led to the first-look and partnership on Corpses.

Why do we need to keep hearing about these useless adaptations of modern horror mishmash that won't be regarded as classics in decades to come? Even Stephen King's adaptations won't, IMO. If some are saying the comics medium become so influential these days, this certainly isn't how to do it. A most overused genre building on horror and violence does the medium no favors in the long run.
