No TV series has shaped modern fantasy quite like Game of Thrones. HBO's adaptation of George R.R. Martin's seminal A Song of Ice and Fire novel series was such an overnight hit that it basically gave adult fantasy more mainstream relevance than it had in decades. For nearly a decade, Game of Thrones wasn't just a niche hit; it was a pop-culture juggernaut that was winning critic awards as often as it was breaking viewership records for HBO.

Judge Dredd easily ranks among the most influential science fiction properties of all time. Despite not having too many major appearances outside of his native comic books, the character and world of Dredd has remained iconic, naturally making a wide variety of creators eager to put their own spin on the property.
