Nothing’s more fun than shutting down the entire car wash because you forgot how to put your newish car in neutral....
Someone yanked the power cord from my frontal lobe.

Updated: Top 10 Cartoons Based Off Comic Books 2025 Hey, hey, Geekly Gang! Kyra Kyle here. We've tackled the idea of cartoons or animated series based off comic books almost a decade ago with a Top 5 Animated TV Shows Based Off Comic Books. It's a good idea to update this post. Our reasoning is three-fold: 1, it's been long enough and more shows have been produced since 2015; we increased the number of shows on this list from five to ten; and Geekly forgot about a few shows inspired by comic books in the previous list. Whoops! Before we get into the shows, let's set down some ground rules for this list.

Happy Monday, Geekly Gang! Kyra Kyle shares their Top 10 Cartoons based on comic books. #Top10 #Cartoons #Comicbooks #MondayBlogs
