I would certainly buy something like that, especially if it has pictures in it! It would really be awesome, and like you said, it could work well alongside the revival of the series itself. There's one thing I have to say, though. I don't know if any of you watched the show "Charmed" (which was a story about three young women who were sisters, and they became witches, they had to fight demons and warlocks and such) That was also a show I really liked, but I once got a "Charmed" book as a present, and the stories in it were not even close to being as good as the show itself.
What I'm trying to say is this: If ReBoot ever comes out as a novel, it risks being not as good as the show itself, and thus being not popular enough for many people to buy them. That's just something that bothers me, I can't help it. But still, it could be a good idea. Who knows, maybe it'll work!
I feel like novels wouldn't work as well as comics or graphic novels. In my opinion if you also want to reach out to the younger audience, comics would be a better idea. I think that comics would be able to show mainframe better. While i do like novels, i think comics or graphic novels would pull me in better. I think ReBoot deserves to be shown in comics because it is an amazing looking show.
Although I agree with you too, Devilight. It could indeed work well as a comic because of ReBoot's looks, so to speak. One of the many great aspects of the show were, as you said, the great looks and graphics, which was pretty awesome for that time.
That's a pretty good idea. Though as for whom could write it. Well i don't think we need just one writer. I mean look at the star wars novels. George Lucas may have wrote the scripts but he did not write all those novels. Some of those novels were written by people who are no different than anyone here. They were just fans who decided one day to write a novel. So I say we should all give it a try and let Rainmaker choose the best ones. What have we got to lose?
Yes, yes, Gavin Blair is ideal, but we have to realize the situation of whether he'd be willing to. As it is, I think any Reboot fan with good writing skills could at least do a decent job. Not to mention, we the fans know what we want and any manuscript that made its way here would definitely be nitpicked and improved in the process.
I agree with Hero in Waiting. Reboot by far is one of the most original series than recent releases to this day. I'm sure, if written correctly, it will make people never want to put the book down. I think they should be released after the movie since movies usually encourage people to read the books.

They had their own 'choose your adventure' books (which you can read online)
They were a lot of fun. Though novels in particular I might not read so often. I'm not a big novel reader.

I would read them - but I hate to be the negative nancy here, but I really hold some doubt that a Reboot novel would be a good idea...

I would read the novels. Heck, I read Star Trek novels.

I think that would be a very good way of reviving the series, I'm surprised no one has tried to do it earlier.
