But nobody should count Netflix out just yet as it has a plethora of comic book shows, some of which are only available on the streaming service. So many excellent series from Marvel, DC, and many more are waiting to binge, so here are the best shows on Netflix based on comic books.

Best shows on Netflix: The Walking Dead

Robert Kirkman, Tony Moore, and Charlie Adlard truly outdid themselves when they created the post-apocalyptic horror comic The Walking Dead. The incredibly popular title from Image comics started in 2003 with 193 issues in black and white being released before it ended in 2019. And, there’s still a lot more story to go until the show catches up to the comics.

One the course of its successful tenure, the well-regarded series earned the 2007 and 2010 Eisner Award for Best Continuing Series. The story focuses on Rick Grimes, a cop who awakens from a coma to finds himself in a zombie apocalypse. As the story progresses, the undead are the last of the heroes’ worries as cannibals, desperate factions, and warlords quickly become the bigger threat resulting in some enthralling content.

In 2010 the entire affair was transformed into a drama series for AMC full of zombie killing action and enticing drama starring Andrew Lincoln, Norman Reedus, Steven Yeun, and many more talented individuals. The show would go on to become one of the most-watched shows on TV and has spawned several spin-offs with movies also in the works.

There are currently nine seasons of The Walking Dead on Netflix.
