Netflix’s Marvel series and The CW’s DC series get all the attention, but not every comic book adaptation on TV is a super-powered part of a multi-show universe.
“Dark Matter” (Syfy)
The “Dark Matter” TV series came years after the debut of the Dark Horse comic book that it’s based on, but creators Joseph Mallozzi and Paul Mullie originally conceived of the series — about six individuals who wake up on a starship together with their memories wiped — as a TV show before it was redeveloped as a comic in 2012.
“Wynonna Earp” (Syfy)
Syfy has a number of science fiction series based on lesser known comic book titles, including the fan-favorite “Wynonna Earp,” starring Melanie Scrofano as the demon-fighting descendent of legendary lawman Wyatt Earp.
