new Farscape comic by O'Bannon & KRAD

KRAD · September 5 2008, 05:16 AM

Thought I'd toot my own horn for a moment....

In November, BOOM! Studios will be releasing the first of a four-issue monthly Farscape comic book miniseries. Plotted by series creator Rockne S. O'Bannon, and scripted by Farscape novelist Keith R.A. DeCandido (that's me

), with art by newcomer Tommy Patterson, the miniseries (very tentatitve title: The Beginning of the End of the Beginning) will pick up right where The Peacekeeper Wars left off, and will be consistent with the upcoming SciFi.com webisodes.

The first miniseries (which we hope will be the first of many) will have Moya heading to Hyneria to get Rygel his throne back.

I'm there!

Emh · September 5 2008, 05:24 AM

Rockne O'Bannon + Keith R.A. Decandido + Moya and crew finally go to Hyneria = MUST BUY!!!!!

Speaking of the webisodes, do you know anything which you can share, Keith?

KRAD · September 5 2008, 05:26 AM

^ Not that I can share, no.

Emh · September 5 2008, 05:42 AM

Drat!

But you know I had to ask.

RoJoHen · September 5 2008, 05:52 AM

Um...holy fucking yay!

Sounds cool, I'll definitely pick this up.

Frodo Lives · September 5 2008, 07:10 AM

Frell yeah!

Hennessy Badger · September 5 2008, 07:45 AM

Great news! I'll be keeping an eye out for those!

Hopefully these will actually be available here, and hopefully the price tag won't be too ridiculous.

If there's a TPB edition planned I'll buy it, but it's difficult to find a comic book shop that stocks stuff like this (or at all) round here.

M'rk, son of Mogh · September 5 2008, 03:11 PM

I let my LCS know that I wanted this when I read one of the interviews on CBR a bit ago.

I'm looking forward to this more than any other comic I get (and I get quite a bit these days!)

Was there a lot of give and take when working together with Mr. O'Bannon, or did you script based on his outline and that was pretty much that, if I may ask?

(SO excited for this. Was going to plow through the DVD's next month in anticipation as a matter of fact...)

Very cool! Congratulations!
