McG to Start Making Comic Books, First to Be a Supernatural Story


Director/Producer McG has announced that he’s getting into comic books. The man behind Supernatural and Chuck announced on Friday that he is starting a comic imprint through his company, Wonderland Sound and Vision, and the first title to be produced through the new venture will be Haunted City, an supernatural story set in various cities around the world.

The comic is based on an idea by screenwriter Chap Taylor, and will be written by Taylor and Wonderland’s Peter Johnson in association with Aspen Comics. But his vision doesn’t stop there. McG also plans to make Haunted City a pilot and if he has his way, a movie. And hopes to do the same with other projects in the future.

“As a filmmaker, I want to work with talent like Chap to build new models that allow us to create more freely By creating our own original properties, we can guide their development across several media simultaneously and kick off a whole new chapter of our company as a full-spectrum content provider. It also allows me to home-grow the movies I want to direct in the future.”

It’s an ambitious idea, but if Wonderland can pull it off, it could be the start of some great properties down the road. What do you guys think? Would you like to see comics developed by McG and Co. to become television and movies? Sound off in the comments below.
