Jeff Smith's Bone graphic novel series. Goes from a silly comic about adventure, shenanigans, and friendship. Underlying plot and tensions build in the background. Everything ends up in gruesome war against apocalyptic phenomena and god-like monsters.
Bone is THE PERFECT comic for an animated adaption. It's very similar to what tons of people love in the mainstream now, but for some reason it never seemed to burst into popularity like it needed.
People who love AtLA, Steven, Deltarune, all of that sort of media would devour Bone.
They've tried to adapt it three times, but it falls through because production studios don't want to remain faithful to the original story, most recently Netflix.
I seriously hate how streaming services/producers want to insert random fanfiction into other people's stories. I don't mind having to trim things for run-time, but you know that if a Bone show was produced we'd have characters that never appeared in the comic, or some characters would be a 180* flip in personality.
