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

This pretty much somes up my feelings as well. I've known about the comic books since they were first announced, but hearing that KRAD is co-writing them makes me even more excited for these comics. I was a little confused on one thing though, is this going to be one miniseries, that might continue, or is it the first storyarc in an on going series?

And I guess it was too much to convince the artist to restore Sikozu's original hair style?

All the pics from that cover are direct photo-manips from the UK DVD cover of PKW. It's not new material designed specifically for Keith's story, just a re-use of old stuff designed for PKW.

Which is not to say that Sikozu doesn't appear or that she doesn't have that hair. Only that it doesn't confirm that she does either.

Oh, and much sperminations on this draddest news.

There will be a series of Farscape miniseries, each running four issues, and then will be collected into trade paperback down the line.

The tentative title for this first miniseries is The Beginning of the End of the Beginning. The next miniseries -- er, well, is waiting for Rockne to figure out what it is.

Seriously, though, Rockne and I have batted around a bunch of ideas for future miniseries.

[KRAD]

MTV's Splash Page web site has an interview with Rockne and a six-page preview of the first issue.

We also have a confirmed release date of 24 December 2008 for #1. It'll make a dandy holiday present.

Oh wow... and I know just the peopel to get it for!!! Just one queston... should I wear the Stark costume when I go pick the comics up?

[KRAD]

^ That's between you and your god....

Hmmm... now that you mention it, Stark might be an interesting mediator for religious debates.....

Keith, thanks for reminding us of this. I'm seriously looking forward to it.

Do you happen to have an amazon link for it though? Because I couldn't find it on their website.

Sweet and unexpected news! I'll be picking up the TPB when it comes out in the spring time and Horizons needs to be made into a Comic!

"He also sees the potential for the comic and webisodes to spur a return to television, and perhaps even a leap to film."

Will they be out in europe?

the miniseries (very tentatitve title: The Beginning of the End of the Beginning) will pick up right where The Peacekeeper Wars left off,

I think it's more a riff on Winston Churchill's formulation after the Battle of El Alamein. "Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.

Probably because they don't sell individual issues, the first of which is what's coming out later this month. I wouldn't expect to see the trade before next June, and possibly later.
