With American Gods coming up, Monsters, Game of Thrones, HBO is going to be the place to be for premium network content.
Guillermo del Toro has closed a deal to adapt the Manga series titled “Monster” for HBO.
Written and illustrated by Naoki Urasawa for Shogakukan Inc., the award-winning “Monster” series begins with a brilliant young doctor whose choice to save a dying 12-year-old boy unwittingly unleashes a pandora’s box that leaves him battling to stop a plot of mass genocide.
The young adult series first began in 1995 in Japan but it took another decade or so before it was translated for distribution in the U.S.

Del Toro seems to be one of those guys that can't pass up a job.

Isn't HBO already the place for premium network content? Also, I first thought of the below when I read the thread title (glad I was wrong).
