Live action? Well i guess any could do it but many would be better suited to animation imo, such as Invincible.

Witchblade already did it so i guess Darkness would work well.

Spawn, providing it was more like the current run, more subtle, dark, mysterious, drama etc rather than fantasy/magic/demons.

Maybe Last of the Greats?

Idk, i think the vast majority would make better animated shows.

Not many comics(Image, Marvel, or DC) would make for a good live action TV series. Animated series or Movies work better...

I tend to agree. But there is some non-superhero series that could work:

Near Death
Fatale

And other books along those lines. And though it's a little early on with these, a show could be done that has more of a fantasy/fairy tale setting rather then superheroics like:

No Place Like Home
Peter Panzerfaust

That said, the CW did Superman on tv (Smallville) for 10 years and it's one of my favorite shows so it can be done with superheros. They're also filming a pilot for a Green Arrow series.

Image has ALOT of Non-Superhero comics that would make for good TV. Its just not easy to translate superhero to TV. I stopped watching Smallville by the third season, but it was more X-Files than Superhero. Most superhero shows would need good special effects...

Are you planning to try and make a TV show now?

How is your comic coming along?

But Image doesn't own any of these characters and isn't a company is the sense you are picturing. You'd be better off to pick the ones you want to see and then voice your support to the individual creators. They are the ones that control whether or not their books become shows.

You still dont understand how Image works do you?

We can sit here all day and say what comic would make a great TV show... but only the creator can make that decision on if he would even want to do it. Image has NO say in this.
HBO could approach Image and say... "Hey we want an Invincible show".... If Kirkman didnt want to to do... he doesnt have to. And if he did do it... I dont even think Image would get anything from it. Im pretty sure Image and the Image Partners dont get anything from The Walking Dead TV show(with the exception of Kirkman who owns the property)
