Comics Based on TV Shows Get TV Writers

I was thinking about this while reading some comics yesterday, how cool is it that comics based on TV shows are being written by their TV writers. Wildstorm has been publishing Supernatural comics written by Peter Johnson, one of the co-executive producers on the show. And Johnson is co-writing the new Chuck comic with series writer Zev Barlow. And Battlestar Galactica: Origins is written (most of the time) by series writter Seamus Kevin Fahey. Can't forget Heroes, can we? And in the "Rumors that Will Never Die" catagory is Veronica Mars: Season Four by that guy from Matchbox 20.

Yeah, I don't have a clue who these guys are, but they work on the shows. In the past it was kind of a crap shoot on whether or not the comics would suck. Now I think we're getting more good than bad.

Plus there's that Josh Weaton guy doing his thing.

Now if only we can get some good artists on these books. :roll:

At Comic-Con, it's been announced we can add Farscape, The Greatest American Hero and Ghostbusters to the line-up of TV and movie comics. Although Ghostbusters isn't being written by anyone associated with the movies.

They have also mentioned that Doc Savage will be made into a movie, Hellboy 3 possibly once Guillermo is done with the Hobbit and also The Goon will be made into a CGI movie with David Fincher attached to the project to direct.
