Jericho, the show that simply will not die, has been reborn as a comic book series from Devil’s Due Publishing. According to this press release from the futon critic, Devil’s Due Publishing and Jericho‘s creators will be working together to continue the story that ended in March of 2008 when the second season of the alternative history drama came to a close. The first issue will be released in the fall.
From the press release:
“Jericho is alive and well, thanks to the amazing fans who’ve driven us to find new and fresh ways to tell the Jericho story,” says Dan Shotz, Co-Executive Producer of Jericho. “Josh Blaylock and the DDP team are great partners and have shown a true love for our show. We are so thrilled about this comic book series and the endless possibilities for the future of Jericho.”
Joining Shotz in developing the comic book will be most of the original creative team including Jon Turteltaub, Carol Barbee, Karim Zreik, and Jon Steinberg.
“I can’t tell you how cool it is for DDP to be able to continue the Jericho story in comic book form,” says DDP President Josh Blaylock. “We plan to give fans the story they’ve been craving. This is going to be epic stuff.”
