I see you're posting often about this - people will respond if they have anything to suggest!

My suggestion is that film rights are an easier sell if you can show a demand for your graphic novels. If you can show "hey, I sold 10,000 physical copies of the novel in a year" that's going to get interest ahead of the guy who says "I sold 3 downloads".

Making a graphic novel is an investment mostly of your time, making a movie is a huge financial investment for someone. You'd be asking someone to gamble at least a house's worth of money on a super risky bet. The way you convince them is to show the odds are stacked in favour of the opportunity. Investors see through hyperbole, they want to back a success, so if your graphic novels are selling well, that's what you bring to the table. If they're not selling well, focus on that first - the work to break that market is only a fraction of that of making a feature.
