As SciFi Mafia reported in January of this year, show creator Bryan Fuller is continuing his canceled series Pushing Daisies in the form of a graphic novel. Fuller is hopeful that the comic will hits stands in early 2011. He spoke about the current status of the project:
“Issue #1 will hopefully be out in early 2011, issue #2 is being coloured as we speak, and issue #3 is being written.”
Fans can not only enjoy the continuation of the story, but hopefully, also hear songs by the original cast. Fuller hopes to be able to deliver the comic with a soundtrack to connect it with the television series:
“Our Emmy award-winning composer Jim Dooley and I have been talking about giving the audience a multimedia experience with the comic – specifically a score.
We have no idea whether we can actually afford to do an actual Pushing Daisies comic soundtrack (because the cast has agreed to sing songs and those licensing fees are expensive), but Jim has already started composing musical cues that we will either release officially or stream for free online when the comic book is published. I’ve already heard the track for Lee Pace’s cover ditty and it’s fantastic.”
